Euler Sums of Hyperharmonic Numbers

Abstract: The hyperharmonic numbers h_{n}^{(r)} are defined by means of the classical harmonic numbers. We show that the Euler-type sums with hyperharmonic numbers: {\sigma}(r,m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}((h_{n}^{(r)})/(n^{m})) can be expressed in terms of series of Hurwitz zeta function values. This is a generalization of a result of Mez\H{o} and Dil. We also provide an explicit evaluation of {\sigma}(r,m) in a closed form in terms of zeta values and Stirling numbers of the first kind. Furthermore, we evaluate several other series involving hyperharmonic numbers.
