Abstract By making use of the Cauchy double alternant and the Laplace expansion formula, we establish two closed formulae for the determinants of factorial fractions that are then utilised to evaluate several determinants of binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers, including those obtained recently by Chammam [‘Generalized harmonic numbers, Jacobi numbers and a Hankel determinant evaluation’, Integral Transforms Spec. Funct.30(7) (2019), 581–593].

In 2017, Bing He investigated arithmetic properties to obtain various basic congruences modulo a prime for several alternating sums involving harmonic numbers and binomial coefficients. In this paper we study how we can obtain more congruences modulo a power of a prime number p (super congruences) in the ring of p-integer \mathbb{Z}_{p} involving binomial coefficients and generalized harmonic numbers.

In this paper, we introduce higher-order harmonic numbers and derive their relevant properties and generating functions by using an umbral-type method. We discuss the link with recent works on the subject, and show that the combinations of umbral and other techniques (such as the Laplace and other types of integral transforms) yield a very efficient tool to explore the properties of these numbers.

The generalized harmonic numbers $H_n^{(k)}=\sum_{j=1}^n j^{-k}$ satisfy the well-known congruence $H_{p-1}^{(k)}\equiv 0\pmod{p}$ for all primes $p\geq 3$ and integers $k\geq 1$. We derive $q$-analogs of this congruence for two different $q$-analogs of the sum $H_n^{(k)}$. The results can be written in terms of certain determinants of binomial coefficients which have interesting properties in their own right. Furthermore, it is shown that one of the classes of determinants is closely related to degenerate Bernoulli numbers, and new properties of these numbers are obtained as a consequence.

In this study, depending on the upper and the lower indices of the hyperharmonic number h(r), nonlinear recurrence relations are obtained. It is shown that generalized harmonic numbers and hyperharmonic numbers can be obtained from derivatives of the binomial coefficients. Taking into account of difference and derivative operators, several identities of the harmonic and hyperharmonic numbers are given. Negative-ordered hyperharmonic numbers are defined and their alternative representations are given.

A variety of identities involving harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers have been investigated since the distant past and involved in a wide range of diverse fields such as analysis of algorithms in computer science, various branches of number theory, elementary particle physics, and theoretical physics. Here we show how one can obtain further interesting and (almost) serendipitous identities about certain finite or infinite series involving binomial coefficients, harmonic numbers, and generalized harmonic numbers by simply applying the usual differential operator to well-known Gauss’s summation formula for2F1(1).
