Generalized Harmonic Progression Part II

Abstract

In a previous paper, we saw how to create formulae for the sum of the terms of a harmonic progression of order $k$, $HP_k(n)$, with integer parameters, $a$ and $b$. In this new paper we make those formulae more general by lifting the restriction that the parameters be integers. These new formulae always hold, except when $i b/a\in \mathbb{Z}$. This paper employs a slightly modified version of the reasoning used previously. Nonetheless, we make another brief exposition of the principle used to derive them.
