The above is the claim which is proved here after in this note.
Proof:
First note that,
Hn=∫011−x1−xndx
Substituting this into our sum S we have,
S=∫011−x∑n1,n2,⋯,nk=1∞n1n2⋯nk(−1)n1+n2+⋯+nk−∑n1,n2,⋯,nk=1∞n1n2⋯nk(−1)n1+n2+⋯+nkxn1+n2+⋯+nkdx=(−1)k∫011−xlogk2−logk(1+x)dx=(−1)k∫1/211−xlogk2−logk(2x)dx=(−1)kn=1∑k(nk)(log2)k−n∫1/211−xlognxdx
Now it remains to calculate ,
∫1/211−xlognxdx
To find this we evaluate a preliminary integral,
∫1/21xmdx=m+11−1+m2−m∫1/21xmlognxdx=dmndn[m+11−1+m2−m]∫1/21xmlognxdx=(m+1)n+1(−1)nn!+2−m(−1)n−1r=0∑n(rn)(m+1)r+1(log2)n−rr!
Now coming back to the main integral,
∫1/211−xlognxdx=m=0∑∞∫1/21xmlognxdx=m=0∑∞[(m+1)n+1(−1)nn!+2−m(−1)n−1r=0∑n(rn)(m+1)r+1(log2)n−rr!]=(−1)nn!ζ(n+1)+2(−1)n−1r=0∑n(rn)r!(log2)n−rLin+1(21)
Putting this back,
S=(−1)kn=1∑k(nk)(log2)k−n[(−1)nn!ζ(n+1)+2(−1)n−1r=0∑n(rn)r!(log2)n−rLin+1(21)]

He is so good at calculus that once his name was I guess published at the american mathematics daily becoz he sent a solution to a research level problm

Great! I guess this something that he found interesting and wanted to share (Though i understand nothing of it)
WOAH!!! Seriously???! This is soo great!
