A documented set of FORM programs for the evaluation of sums over
combinations of harmonic series, denominators and factorials. The
techniques are also used in a program for Mellin transforms of functions
occurring in Feynman diagram calculations. There are also programs for the
calculation of harmonic series at infinity (related to Euler/Zagier sums).
The whole is documented with the paper, a manual and lots of commentary in
the programs. The paper can be retreived from the
archive at Los Alamos . Its number is
hep-ph/9806280. Of course it is also here: article .
The programs need version3 of FORM to run. This version is scheduled
for the end of 1998.
This directory is still under construction, and hence it is not
complete. Please check occasionally for progress.
