Titolo:	Harmonic Number Identities and Hermite-Padè Approximations to the Logarithm Function
Sunto:	By decomposing rational functions into partial fractions, we will establish several striking harmonic number identities including the hardest challenges discovered recently by Driver, Prodinger, Weideman and Schneider (2003). As application, we construct explicitly the generalized Hermite-Padé approximants to the logarithm and therefore resolve completely this open problem in the general case.
