Review text

The Euler sums are expressions of type \(H(s,z)= \sum^\infty_{r=1} r^{-s} \sum^r_{k=1} k^{-z}\), where \(s,z\in\mathbb{C}\). Euler showed the reciprocity law \(H(s,z)+ H(z, s)= \zeta(s)\zeta(z)+ \zeta(s+ z)\) for \(s,z\geq 2\) integers. In [J. Number Theory 19, 85--102 (1984; Zbl 0539.10032)] the author and \textit{T. H. Vu} showed that this is true for all complex \(s\), \(z\) for which both members are finite. The present paper gives a new proof of this result. The method is based on a lattice point argument. The author also treats modified Euler sums \(H'(s,z)\) which are defined similarly to \(H(s,z)\), but the sums are restricted to \((r,k)= 1\). Many interesting particular cases are also presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1009.00016].
