Symmetry conjecture for the generalized alternating hyperharmonic coefficients

About 5 years old · traced to

Let r,m,j∈Nr,m,j\in\mathbb N, and let f(r,s1,s2)f(r,s_{1},s_{2}) be the index bound occurring in the coefficient recursion. For 0≤m≤f(r,s1,s2)0\leq m\leq f(r,s_{1},s_{2}) and 0≤j≤f(r,s1,s2)−m0\leq j\leq f(r,s_{1},s_{2})-m, let b(r,s1,s2,m,j,k)b(r,s_{1},s_{2},m,j,k) denote the corresponding coefficient for k∈0,1,2,3k\in\\{0,1,2,3\\}. The coefficient symmetry conjecture. We conjecture that

b(r,s1,s2,m,j,k)=(−1)m+jb(r,s1,s2,j,m,k)(k=0,1,2,3).b(r,s_{1},s_{2},m,j,k)=(-1)^{m+j}b(r,s_{1},s_{2},j,m,k)\qquad (k=0,1,2,3).

This is one of three proposed structural properties of the coefficients that express Euler sums of generalized alternating hyperharmonic numbers in terms of classical alternating Euler sums; its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
