Abstract

We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Zhi-Wei Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e., we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive integral representations. Using substitutions, we express these integral representations in terms of cyclotomic harmonic polylogarithms. Finally, by applying known relations among the cyclotomic harmonic polylogarithms, we derive the results. These methods are implemented in the computer algebra package HarmonicSums.
