n = 0 H n ( n + 1 ) 4 = n = 1 ( H n n 4 ) ζ ( 5 ) \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\dfrac{H_{n}}{(n+1)^{4}} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}}\right) - \zeta(5)

Now we will evaluate n = 1 H n n 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}}

Consider 1 n 4 = 6 0 1 x n 1 ln 3 d x \displaystyle \dfrac{1}{n^{4}} = -6\int_{0}^{1} x^{n-1}\ln ^{3} dx

Multiplying both sides with H n H_{n} ,

H n n 4 = 6 0 1 ( H n x n 1 ) ln 3 d x \displaystyle \dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}} = -6\int_{0}^{1} (H_{n}x^{n-1})\ln ^{3} dx

n = 1 H n n 4 = 6 0 1 n = 1 ( H n x n ) ln 3 x d x \implies \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}} = -6\int_{0}^{1} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(H_{n}x^{n})\dfrac{\ln ^{3}}{x} dx

Using generating function for the harmonic numbers n = 1 H n x n = l n ( 1 x ) 1 x \rightarrow \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} H_{n} x^{n} = \dfrac{-ln(1-x)}{1-x} ,

n = 1 H n n 4 = 6 0 1 ln ( 1 x ) ln 3 x ( 1 x ) d x \implies \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}} = 6\int_{0}^{1}\dfrac{\ln(1-x)\ln ^{3}}{x(1-x)} dx

The integral is easy to evaluate, it is just derivative of beta function.Let K K denote that integral.

Then K = 6 4 F a b 3 \displaystyle K = 6\dfrac{\partial^{4}F}{\partial a \partial b^3} , where F = 0 1 x b ( 1 x ) a d x F = \int_{0}^{1} x^{b}(1-x)^{a}dx

It evaluates to 3 ζ ( 5 ) ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 2 ) 3\zeta(5)-\zeta(3)\zeta(2)

Thus n = 1 H n n 4 ζ ( 5 ) = 2 ζ ( 5 ) ζ ( 3 ) ζ ( 2 ) \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{H_{n}}{n^{4}} -\zeta(5) = 2\zeta(5)-\zeta(3)\zeta(2)

Thus final answer = 2 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 12 =2+5+3+2=\boxed{\boxed{12}}

You have to elaborate more. I dont see any explanation to any result, please add explaination @Harsh Shrivastava

@Aareyan Manzoor Hint: Convert 1 n 4 \frac{1}{n^4} into a form of an integral.

@Aareyan Manzoor Btw, what was your method?

@Aditya Kumar my method was H n = 0 1 x n 1 x 1 dx H_n=\int_0^1 \dfrac{x^n-1}{x-1}\text{dx}

@Aareyan Manzoor Post it as a solution :)

Aditya Kumar - 5 years, 3 months ago

Yes aaryen is right. You'll have to explain the second summation. The first one is just by properties of double summation.

Aditya Kumar - 5 years, 3 months ago

@Aditya Kumar @Aareyan Manzoor Check out my solution.I have elaborated necessary things.
