On four families of power series involving harmonic numbers and central binomial coefficients

Abstract: We present several sequences involving harmonic numbers and the central binomial coefficients. The calculational technique is consists of a special summation method that allows, based on proper two-valued integer functions, to calculate different families of power series which involve odd harmonic numbers and central binomial coefficients. Furthermore it is shown that based on these series a new type of nonlinear Euler sums that involve odd harmonic numbers can be calculated in terms of zeta functions.
