The derivative operator and harmonic number identities.

By applying the derivative operator to the corresponding hypergeometric form of a q-series transformation due to Andrews (see Theorem 4 in Theory and Application for Basic Hypergeometric Functions, pp. 191-224, Academic Press, New York, ), we establish a general harmonic number identity. As the special cases of it, several interesting Chu-Donno-type identities and Paule-Schneider-type identities are displayed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
