Abstract

In this paper, we extend tools developed in [9] to study Euler T-type sums involving odd harmonic numbers and binomial coefficients. In particular, we will prove that two kinds of Euler T-type sums can be expressed in terms of log(2), zeta values, double T-values, (odd) harmonic numbers and double T-sums.
