Abstract:
We prove a new expression for binomial sums with harmonic numbers. Our
derivation is based on an alternative argument for the Euler transform
of these sums. The findings complement a result of Boyadzhiev. To
demonstrate the usefulness of our alternative approach, several examples
are discussed. We rediscover some known identities for harmonic numbers
and present some new ones. In particular, we derive some new identities
involving harmonic numbers, and Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.
