Degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, generalized factorial sums, and their applications

We prove a general symmetric identity involving the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and sums of generalized falling factorials, which unifies several known identities for Bernoulli and degenerate Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. We use this identity to describe some combinatorial relations between these polynomials and generalized factorial sums. As further applications we derive several identities, recurrences, and congruences involving the Bernoulli numbers, degenerate Bernoulli numbers, generalized factorial sums, Stirling numbers of the first kind, Bernoulli numbers of higher order, and Bernoulli numbers of the second kind.     

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.     

Several polynomials associated with the harmonic numbers

We develop polynomials in z∈C for which some generalized harmonic numbers are special cases at z=0. By using the Riordan array method, we explore interesting relationships between these polynomials, the generalized Stirling polynomials, the Bernoulli polynomials, the Cauchy polynomials and the Nörlund polynomials.     

Notes on particular symmetric polynomials with applications

This paper presents some applications using several properties of three important symmetric polynomials: elementary symmetric polynomials, complete symmetric polynomials and the power sum symmetric polynomials. The applications includes a simple proof of El-Mikkawy conjecture in [M.E.A. El-Mikkawy, Appl. Math. Comput. 146 (2003) 759-769] and a very easy proof of the Newton-Girard formula. In addition, a generalization of Stirling numbers is obtained.     

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.

Srivastava–Pintér theorems for 2D‐Appell polynomials and their applications

Recently, Srivastava and Pintér proved addition theorems for the generalized Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Luo and Srivastava obtained the anologous results for the generalized Apostol–Bernoulli polynomials and the generalized Apostol–Euler polynomials. Finally, Tremblay et al. gave analogues of the Srivastava–Pintér addition theorem for general family of Bernoulli polynomials. In this paper, we obtain Srivastava–Pintér type theorems for 2D‐Appell Polynomials. We also give the representation of 2D‐Appell Polynomials in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind and 1D‐Appell polynomials. Furthermore, we introduce the unified 2D‐Apostol polynomials. In particular, we obtain some relations between that family of polynomials and the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta function as well as the Gauss hypergeometric function. Finally, we present some applications of Srivastava–Pintér type theorems for 2D‐Appell Polynomials. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Bernoulli polynomials and Pascal matrices in the context of Clifford analysis

This paper describes an approach to generalized Bernoulli polynomials in higher dimensions by using Clifford algebras. Due to the fact that the obtained Bernoulli polynomials are special hypercomplex holomorphic (monogenic) functions in the sense of Clifford Analysis, they have properties very similar to those of the classical polynomials. Hypercomplex Pascal and Bernoulli matrices are defined and studied, thereby generalizing results recently obtained by Zhang and Wang (Z. Zhang, J. Wang, Bernoulli matrix and its algebraic properties, Discrete Appl. Math. 154 (11) (2006) 1622-1632).     

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.

The combinatorial properties of the Benoumhani polynomials for the Whitney numbers of Dowling lattices

In the papers (Benoumhani 1996;1997), Benoumhani defined two polynomials $F_{m,n,1}\left(x\right)$ and $F_{m,n,2}\left(x\right)$. Then, he defined $A_m(n,k)$ and $B_m(n,k)$ to be the polynomials satisfying $F_{m,n,1}\left(x\right)={\sum }_{k=0}^n{A}_m(n,k)x^{n?k}{(x+1)}^k$ and $F_{m,n,1}\left(x\right)={\sum }_{k=0}^n{B}_m(n,k)x^{n?k}{(x+1)}^k$. In this paper, we give a combinatorial interpretation of the coefficients of $A_{m+1}(n,k)$ and prove a symmetry of the coefficients, i.e., $\left[m^s\right]A_{m+1}(n,k)=\left[m^{n?s}\right]A_{m+1}(n,n?k)$. We give a combinatorial interpretation of $B_{m+1}(n,k)$ and prove that $B_{m+1}(n,n?1)$ is a polynomial in $m$ with non-negative integer coefficients. We also prove that if $n\ge 6$ then all coefficients of $B_{m+1}(n,n?2)$ except the coefficient of $m^{n?1}$ are non-negative integers. For all $n$, the coefficient of $m^{n?1}$ in $B_{m+1}(n,n?2)$ is $?(n?1)$, and when $n\le 5$ some other coefficients of $B_{m+1}(n,n?2)$ are also negative.     

On the analytic extension of Stirling numbers of the first kind

We present an analytic extension of the unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind that is in a certain sense unique in its coincidence with the Stirling polynomials. We examine and compare our extension to previous extensions of (signed) Stirling numbers of the first kind given by Butzer et al. (2007, J. Difference Equ. Appl., 13) and of the unsigned numbers given by Adamchik (1997, J. Comput. Appl. Math., 79). We also see a connection to the Riemann zeta function.

Construction a new generating function of Bernstein type polynomials

Main purpose of this paper is to reconstruct generating function of the Bernstein type polynomials. Some properties of this generating functions are given. By applying this generating function, not only derivative of these polynomials but also recurrence relations of these polynomials are found. Interpolation function of these polynomials is also constructed by Mellin transformation. This function interpolates these polynomials at negative integers which are given explicitly. Moreover, relations between these polynomials, the Stirling numbers of the second kind and Bernoulli polynomials of higher order are given. Furthermore some remarks associated with the Bezier curves are given.     

A new result for hypergeometric polynomials

In some recent investigations involving differential operators for generalized Laguerre polynomials, Herman Bavinck (1996) encountered and proved a certain summation formula for the classical Laguerre polynomials. The main object of this sequel to Bavinck's work is to prove a generalization of this summation formula for a class of hypergeometric polynomials. The demonstration, which is presented here in the general case, differs markedly from the earlier proof given for the known special case. The general summation formula is also applied to derive the corresponding result for the classical Jacobi polynomials.
