Recently, Chen, Hou and Jin used both Abel’s lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger’s algorithm to generate recurrence relations for definite summations. They also proposed the Abel-Gosper method to evaluate some indefinite sums involving harmonic numbers. In this paper, we use the Abel-Gosper method to prove an identity involving the generalized harmonic numbers. Special cases of this result reduce to many famous identities. In addition, we use both Abel’s lemma and the WZ method to verify and to discover identities involving harmonic numbers. Many interesting examples are also presented.
