Abstract: We consider a special class of binomial sums involving harmonic numbers and we prove three identities by using the elementary method of the partial fraction decomposition. Some applications to infinite series and congruences are given.

Review text

As one of the authors did also elsewhere (\textit{H. Prodinger} [Appl. Anal. Discrete Math. 2, No. 1, 65--68 (2008; Zbl 1273.11034); Integers 8, No. 1, Article A10, 8 p. (2008; Zbl 1162.05004); Util. Math. 83, 291--299 (2010; Zbl 1242.05023)]), this paper uses the partial fraction decomposition, a technique derived from the seminal study on Rice's integrals by \textit{P. Flajolet} and \textit{R. Sedgewick} [Theor. Comput. Sci. 144, No. 1--2, 101--124 (1995; Zbl 0869.68056)], in order to establish three new identities about a class of binomial sums involving the harmonic numbers.NEWLINENEWLINETwo applications are supplied: the first, to infinite series like the \textit{exotic sums}, recalls the evaluations for Euler sums in terms of zeta values given, e.g., by \textit{P. Flajolet} and \textit{B. Salvy} [Exp. Math. 7, No. 1, 15--35 (1998; Zbl 0920.11061)]; the second application, to congruences, employs the \textit{Wolstenholme's theorem} and results provided by \textit{J. Zhao} [Int. J. Number Theory 4, No. 1, 73-106 (2008; Zbl 1218.11005)] and by \textit{Kh. Hessami Pilehrood} et al. [Int. J. Number Theory 8, No. 7, 1789--1811 (2012; Zbl 1261.11001)], [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 366, No. 6, 3131--3159 (2014; Zbl 1308.11018)]
