A new class of generalized Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials and some analogues of the Srivastava–Pintér addition theorem

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a new class of generalized Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials based on a definition given by Natalini and Bernardini (2003) [22] for the generalized Bernoulli polynomials. We obtain a generalization of the Srivastava–Pintér addition theorem (Srivastava and Pintér (2004) [23]). We also give a list of expressions involving special functions that could be used to obtain some analogues of the Srivastava–Pintér addition theorem. Finally, we give an analogue featuring the new class of generalized Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials.     

New characterization of Appell polynomials

We prove characterizations of Appell polynomials by means of symmetric property. For these polynomials, we establish a simple linear expression in terms of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. As applications, we give interesting examples. In addition, from our study, we obtain Fourier expansions of Appell polynomials. This result recovers Fourier expansions known for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and obtains the Fourier expansions for higher order Bernoulli–Euler's one.

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.     

Some generalizations of the Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials

The main object of this paper is to give analogous definitions of Apostol type (see [T.M. Apostol, On the Lerch Zeta function, Pacific J. Math. 1 (1951) 161-167] and [H.M. Srivastava, Some formulas for the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials at rational arguments, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 129 (2000) 77-84]) for the so-called Apostol-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of higher order. We establish their elementary properties, derive several explicit representations for them in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function and the Hurwitz (or generalized) Zeta function, and deduce their special cases and applications which are shown here to lead to the corresponding results for the classical Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of higher order.     

A determinantal approach to Sheffer–Appell polynomials via monomiality principle

In this article, the Sheffer and Appell polynomials are combined to introduce the family of Sheffer–Appell polynomials by using operational methods. The determinantal definition and other properties of the Sheffer–Appell polynomials are established. As particular cases of these polynomials, the Sheffer–Bernoulli and Sheffer–Euler polynomials are introduced and their determinantal definitions are obtained. The operational correspondence between the Appell and Sheffer–Appell polynomials is used to derive the results for the Sheffer–Appell polynomials. Certain results for the Hermite–Appell and Laguerre–Appell polynomials are also obtained.     

Monogenic pseudo‐complex power functions and their applications

The use of a non‐commutative algebra in hypercomplex function theory requires a large variety of different representations of polynomials suitably adapted to the solution of different concrete problems. Naturally arises the question of their relationships and the advantages or disadvantages of different types of polynomials. In this sense, the present paper investigates the intrinsic relationship between two different types of monogenic Appell polynomials. Several authors payed attention to the construction of complete sets of monogenic Appell polynomials, orthogonal with respect to a certain inner product, and used them advantageously for the study of problems in 3D‐elasticity and other problems. Our goal is to show that, as consequence of the binomial nature of those generalized Appell polynomials, their inner structure is determined by interesting combinatorial relations in which the central binomial coefficients play a special role. As a byproduct of own interest, a Riordan–Sofo type binomial identity is also proved. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Summation formulae of products of the Apostol–Bernoulli and Apostol–Euler polynomials

In this paper, a further investigation for the Apostol–Bernoulli and Apostol–Euler polynomials is performed, and some summation formulae of products of the Apostol–Bernoulli and Apostol–Euler polynomials are established by applying some summation transform techniques. Some illustrative special cases as well as immediate consequences of the main results are also considered.     

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.     

Addition theorems for the Appell polynomials and the associated classes of polynomial expansions

Various interesting and potentially useful properties and relationships involving the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials have been investigated in the literature rather extensively. Recently, the present authors (Srivastava and Pinter in Appl Math Lett 17:375–380, 2004) obtained addition theorems and other relationships involving the generalized Bernoulli polynomials ${B_n^{(\alpha)}(x)}$ and the generalized Euler polynomials ${E_n^{(\alpha)}(x)}$ of order α and degree n in x. The main purpose of this sequel to some of the aforecited investigations is to give several addition formulas for a general class of Appell sequences. The addition formulas, which are derived in this paper, involve not only the generalized Bernoulli polynomials ${B_n^{(\alpha)}(x)}$ and the generalized Euler polynomials ${E_n^{(\alpha)}(x)}$ , but also the generalized Genocchi polynomials ${G_n^{(\alpha)}(x)}$ , the Srivastava polynomials ${\mathcal{S}_{n}^{N}\left( x\right)}$ , several general families of hypergeometric polynomials and such orthogonal polynomials as the Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite polynomials. Some umbral-calculus generalizations of the addition formulas are also investigated.     

Application of a composition of generating functions for obtaining explicit formulas of polynomials

Using notions of composita and composition of generating functions, we obtain explicit formulas for the Chebyshev polynomials, the Legendre polynomials, the Gegenbauer polynomials, the Associated Laguerre polynomials, the Stirling polynomials, the Abel polynomials, the Bernoulli Polynomials of the Second Kind, the Generalized Bernoulli polynomials, the Euler Polynomials, the Peters polynomials, and the Narumi polynomials.     

On the generalization of the Euler polynomials with the real parameters

In this study, we give multiplication formula for generalized Euler polynomials of order α and obtain some explicit recursive formulas. The multiple alternating sums with positive real parameters a and b are evaluated in terms of both generalized Euler and generalized Bernoulli polynomials of order α. Finally we obtained some interesting special cases.     

On the multidimensional zeta functions associated with theta functions,and the multidimensional Appell polynomials

We define and study the multidimensional Appell polynomials associated with theta functions. For the trivial theta functions, we obtain the various well-known Appell polynomials. Many other interesting examples are given. To push our study, by Mellin transform, we introduce and investigate the multidimensional zeta functions associated with thetas functions and prove that the multidimensional Appell polynomials are special values at the nonpositive integers of these zeta functions. Using zeta functions techniques, among others, we prove an induction formula for multidimensional Appell polynomials. The last part of this paper is devoted to spectral zeta functions and its generalization associated with Laplacians on compact Riemannian manifolds. From this generalization, we construct new Appell polynomials associated with Riemannan manifolds of finite dimensions.

Some generalizations of the Apostol-Genocchi polynomials and the Stirling numbers of the second kind

Recently, the authors introduced some generalizations of the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the Apostol-Euler polynomials (see [Q.-M. Luo, H.M. Srivastava, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 308 (2005) 290-302] and [Q.-M. Luo, Taiwanese J. Math. 10 (2006) 917-925]). The main object of this paper is to investigate an analogous generalization of the Genocchi polynomials of higher order, that is, the so-called Apostol-Genocchi polynomials of higher order. For these generalized Apostol-Genocchi polynomials, we establish several elementary properties, provide some explicit relationships with the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the Apostol-Euler polynomials, and derive various explicit series representations in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function and the Hurwitz (or generalized) zeta function. We also deduce their special cases and applications which are shown here to lead to the corresponding results for the Genocchi and Euler polynomials of higher order. By introducing an analogue of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, that is, the so-called λ-Stirling numbers of the second kind, we derive some basic properties and formulas and consider some interesting applications to the family of the Apostol type polynomials. Furthermore, we also correct an error in a previous paper [Q.-M. Luo, H.M. Srivastava, Comput. Math. Appl. 51 (2006) 631-642] and pose two open problems on the subject of our investigation.     

Sums of products of Apostol–Bernoulli numbers

By expressing the sums of products of the Apostol?CBernoulli polynomials in terms of the special values of multiple Hurwitz?CLerch zeta functions at non-positive integers, we obtain the sums of products identity for the Apostol?CBernoulli numbers which is an analogue of the classical sums of products identity for Bernoulli numbers dating back to Euler.     

Genocchi polynomials associated with the Umbral algebra

The aim of this paper is to study on the Genocchi polynomials of higher order on P, the algebra of polynomials in the single variable x over the field C of characteristic zero and P^∗, the vector spaces of all linear functional on P. By using the action of a linear functional L on a polynomial p(x) Sheffer sequences and Appell sequences, we obtain some fundamental properties of the Genocchi polynomials. Furthermore, we give relations between, the first and second kind Stirling numbers, Euler polynomials of higher order and Genocchi polynomials of higher order.     

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.

In this note, we shall obtain two closed forms for the Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials.     

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.
