Higher-order convolutions for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

We prove convolution identities of arbitrary orders for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, i.e., sums of products of a fixed but arbitrary number of these polynomials. They differ from the more usual convolutions found in the literature by not having multinomial coefficients as factors. This generalizes a special type of convolution identity for Bernoulli numbers which was first discovered by Yu. Matiyasevich.     

An explicit formula for generalized potential polynomials and its applications

We define the generalized potential polynomials associated to an independent variable, and prove an explicit formula involving the generalized potential polynomials and the exponential Bell polynomials. We use this formula to describe closed type formulas for the higher order Bernoulli, Eulerian, Euler, Genocchi, Apostol-Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler polynomials and the polynomials involving the Stirling numbers of the second kind. As further applications, we derive several known identities involving the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials and Euler polynomials, and new relations for the higher order tangent numbers, the higher order Bernoulli numbers of the second kind, the numbers , the higher order Bernoulli numbers and polynomials and the higher order Euler polynomials and their coefficients.

Peters type polynomials and numbers and their generating functions: Approach with p‐adic integral method

The aim of this paper is to introduce and investigate some of the primary generalizations and unifications of the Peters polynomials and numbers by means of convenient generating functions and p‐adic integrals method. Various fundamental properties of these polynomials and numbers involving some explicit series and integral representations in terms of the generalized Stirling numbers, generalized harmonic sums, and some well‐known special numbers and polynomials are presented. By using p‐adic integrals, we construct generating functions for Peters type polynomials and numbers (Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials). By using these functions with their partial derivative eqautions and functional equations, we derive many properties, relations, explicit formulas, and identities including the Apostol‐Bernoulli polynomials, the Apostol‐Euler polynomials, the Boole polynomials, the Bernoulli polynomials, and numbers of the second kind, generalized harmonic sums. A brief revealing and historical information for the Peters type polynomials are given. Some of the formulas given in this article are given critiques and comments between previously well‐known formulas. Finally, two open problems for interpolation functions for Apostol‐type Peters numbers and polynomials are revealed.

Sums of products of Cauchy numbers

In this paper, we consider a kind of sums involving Cauchy numbers, which have not been studied in the literature. By means of the method of coefficients, we give some properties of the sums. We further derive some recurrence relations and establish a series of identities involving the sums, Stirling numbers, generalized Bernoulli numbers, generalized Euler numbers, Lah numbers, and harmonic numbers. In particular, we generalize some relations between two kinds of Cauchy numbers and some identities for Cauchy numbers and Stirling numbers.

Analysis of the Bernstein basis functions: an approach to combinatorial sums involving binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers

We give some alternative forms of the generating functions for the Bernstein basis functions. Using these forms,we derive a collection of functional equations for the generating functions. By applying these equations, we prove some identities for the Bernstein basis functions. Integrating these identities, we derive a variety of identities and formulas, some old and some new, for combinatorial sums involving binomial coefficients, Pascal's rule, Vandermonde's type of convolution, the Bernoulli polynomials, and the Catalan numbers.

Some identities on the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials via power sums and alternate power sums

In this paper, by the generating function method, we establish various identities concerning the (higher order) Bernoulli polynomials, the (higher order) Euler polynomials, the Genocchi polynomials and the degenerate higher order Bernoulli polynomials. Particularly, some of these identities are also related to the power sums and alternate power sums. It can be found that, many well known results, especially the multiplication theorems, and some symmetric identities demonstrated recently, are special cases of our results.

Notes on generalization of the Bernoulli type polynomials

Recently, Srivastava et al. introduced a new generalization of the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials (see [H.M. Srivastava, M. Garg, S. Choudhary, Russian J. Math. Phys. 17 (2010) 251-261] and [H.M. Srivastava, M. Garg, S. Choudhary, Taiwanese J. Math. 15 (2011) 283-305]). They established several interesting properties of these general polynomials, the generalized Hurwitz-Lerch zeta functions and also in series involving the familiar Gaussian hypergeometric function. By the same motivation of Srivastava’s et al. [11] and [12], we introduce and derive multiplication formula and some identities related to the generalized Bernoulli type polynomials of higher order associated with positive real parameters a, b and c. We also establish multiple alternating sums in terms of these polynomials. Moreover, by differentiating the generating function of these polynomials, we give a interpolation function of these polynomials.     

A 2-adic formula for Bernoulli numbers of the second kind and for the Nörlund numbers

We give a formula expressing Bernoulli numbers of the second kind as 2-adically convergent sums of traces of algebraic integers. We use this formula to prove and explain the formulas and conjectures of Adelberg concerning the initial 2-adic digits of these numbers. We also give analogous results for the Nörlund numbers.     

Symmetric identities on Bernoulli polynomials

In this paper, we obtain a generalization of an identity due to Carlitz on Bernoulli polynomials. Then we use this generalized formula to derive two symmetric identities which reduce to some known identities on Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli numbers, including the Miki identity.     

Zeta functions interpolating the convolution of the Bernoulli polynomials

We prove several relations on multiple Hurwitz–Riemann zeta functions. Using analytic continuation of these multiple Hurwitz–Riemann zeta functions, we quote at negative integers Euler's nonlinear relation for generalized Bernoulli polynomials and numbers. As an application, we give a general convolution identity for Bernoulli numbers.     

Extended Zeilberger's algorithm for identities on Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

We present a computer algebra approach to proving identities on Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials by using the extended Zeilberger's algorithm given by Chen, Hou and Mu. The key idea is to use the contour integral definitions of the Bernoulli and Euler numbers to establish recurrence relations on the integrands. Such recurrence relations have certain parameter free properties which lead to the required identities without computing the integrals. Furthermore two new identities on Bernoulli numbers are derived.     

Generalized higher order Bernoulli number pairs and generalized Stirling number pairs

From a delta series f(t) and its compositional inverse g(t), Hsu defined the generalized Stirling number pair . In this paper, we further define from f(t) and g(t) the generalized higher order Bernoulli number pair . Making use of the Bell polynomials, the potential polynomials as well as the Lagrange inversion formula, we give some explicit expressions and recurrences of the generalized higher order Bernoulli numbers, present the relations between the generalized higher order Bernoulli numbers of both kinds and the corresponding generalized Stirling numbers of both kinds, and study the relations between any two generalized higher order Bernoulli numbers. Moreover, we apply the general results to some special number pairs and obtain series of combinatorial identities. It can be found that the introduction of generalized Bernoulli number pair and generalized Stirling number pair provides a unified approach to lots of sequences in mathematics, and as a consequence, many known results are special cases of ours.

Shortened recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers

Starting with two little-known results of Saalschütz, we derive a number of general recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers. These relations involve an arbitrarily small number of terms and have Stirling numbers of both kinds as coefficients. As special cases we obtain explicit formulas for Bernoulli numbers, as well as several known identities.     

Generalized Dedekind symbols associated with the Eisenstein series

We have shown recently that the space of modular forms, the space of generalized Dedekind sums, and the space of period polynomials are all isomorphic. In this paper, we will prove, under these isomorphisms, that the Eisenstein series correspond to the Apostol generalized Dedekind sums, and that the period polynomials are expressed in terms of Bernoulli numbers. This gives us a new more natural proof of the reciprocity law for the Apostol generalized Dedekind sums. Our proof yields as a by-product new polylogarithm identities.
