We study the sums of products of power sums of positive integers and their generalizations, using the multiple products of their exponential generating functions.
The generalizations include a closed form expression for the sums of products of infinite series of the form
,
,
and the related Abel sum, which define,
in a unified way, the sums of products of the power sums for all integers
k and connect them with the zeta function.
