Ohno-type identities for multiple harmonic sums

Abstract: We establish Ohno-type identities for multiple harmonic ($q$-)sums which generalize Hoffman's identity and Bradley's identity. Our result leads to a new proof of the Ohno-type relation for $\mathcal{A}$-finite multiple zeta values recently proved by Hirose, Imatomi, Murahara and Saito. As a further application, we give certain sum formulas for $\mathcal{A}_2$- or $\mathcal{A}_3$-finite multiple zeta values.
