Abstract

By examining two hypergeometric series transformations, we establish several remarkable infinite series identities involving harmonic numbers and quintic central binomial coefficients, including five conjectured recently by Z.-W. Sun [‘Series with summands involving harmonic numbers’, Preprint, 2023, arXiv:2210.07238v7]. This is realised by ‘the coefficient extraction method’ implemented by Mathematica commands.
