Summation rules for the values of the Riemann zeta-function and generalized harmonic numbers obtained using Laurent developments of polygamma functions and their products

Abstract

Following the Mellin and inverse Mellin transform techniques presented in our paper arXiv:1606.02150 (NT), we have established close forms of Laurent series expansions of products of bi- and trigamma functions /psi(z)*/psi(-z) and /psi(1)(z)*/psi(1)(-z). These series were used to find summation rules which include generalized harmonic numbers of first, second and third powers and values of the Riemann zeta-functions at integers / Bernoulli numbers, for example 2*Sum(k-1)(infinity)(H(k)((2))/k3)=6*/zeta(2)*/zeta(3)-9*/zeta(5). Some of these rules were tested numerically.
