Input Form





HarmonicNumber[z, r] == (1/(2 Pi I)) Integrate[(Gamma[s] Gamma[1 - s] Gamma[1 - s]^r)/ Gamma[2 - s]^r/(-1)^s, {s, \[Gamma] - I Infinity, \[Gamma] + I Infinity}] - (1/(2 Pi I)) Integrate[(Gamma[s] Gamma[1 - s] Gamma[1 + z - s]^r)/Gamma[2 + z - s]^r/ (-1)^s, {s, \[Gamma] - I Infinity, \[Gamma] + I Infinity}] /; 0 < \[Gamma] < 1 && Element[r - 1, Integers] && r - 1 > 0
