Abstract

In this paper, we obtain important combinatorial identities of generalized harmonic numbers using symmetric polynomials. We also obtain the matrix representation for the generalized harmonic numbers whose inverse matrix can be computed recursively.

Keywords: harmonic numbers, Riemann zeta function, Stirling numbers, Bernoulli numbers, symmetric polynomials
