## Nonlinear Euler sums using Nielsen formula

According to Nielsen we have the following : If $$f(x)= \sum_{n= 0}^\infty a_n x^n$$ Then we have the following $$\tag{1}\int^1_0 f(xt)\, \mathrm{Li}_2(t)\, dx=\frac{\pi^2}{6x}\int^x_0 f(t)\, dt -\frac{1}{x}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a_{n-1} H_{n}}{n^2}x^n$$ Now let $a_n = H_n$ then we have the … Continue reading

## Nonlinear euler sum proof using stirling numbers of the first kind

Prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(H_k)^2}{k^2} = \frac{17\pi^4}{360}$$ $$\textit{proof}$$ Start by the following which can be proved by induction $$\frac{\left[n\atop 3\right]}{n!} =\frac{ (H_{n-1})^2-H^{(2)}_{n-1}}{2n}$$ And the generating function proved here $$-\sum_{n=3}^\infty \left[n\atop 3\right] \frac{z^n}{n!} = \frac{\log^3(1-z)}{6}$$ Hence we get \sum_{n=3}^\infty ( H^{(2)}_{n-1}- (H_{n-1})^2) … Continue reading
