New identities involving Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

Using the finite difference calculus and differentiation, we obtain several new identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials; some extend Miki's and Matiyasevich's identities, while others generalize a symmetric relation observed by Woodcock and some results due to Sun.     

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.     

Some results on sums of products of Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials

In this paper, by the methods of partial fraction decomposition and generating functions, we establish an explicit expression for sums of products of l Bernoulli polynomials and n?l Euler polynomials, i.e., for sums $$S_n^{(k)}(y;l,k-l):= \sum_{\substack{j_1+\cdots+j_k=n\\j_1,\dots,j_k\geq0}} \binom {n}{j_1,\dots,j_k} B_{j_1}(x_1)\cdots B_{j_l}(x_l)E_{j_{l+1}}(x_{l+1}) \cdots E_{j_k}(x_k). $$ This result is then used to deal with various other types of sums of products of Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials. Some of them are expressed in terms of $S_{n}^{(k)}(y;l,k-l)$ and can be computed directly, while the others satisfy certain recurrences and can be determined recursively. As a consequence, many known results are special cases of ours.     

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.     

Reciprocal relations of Bernoulli and Euler numbers/polynomials

By means of the symmetric summation theorem on polynomial differences due to Chu and Magli [Summation formulae on reciprocal sequences. European J Combin. 2007;28(3):921–930], we examine Bernoulli and Euler polynomials of higher order. Several reciprocal relations on Bernoulli and Euler numbers and polynomials are established, including some recent ones obtained by Agoh Shortened recurrence relations for generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. J Number Theory. 2017;176:149–173.     

On Appell sequences of polynomials of Bernoulli and Euler type

A construction of new sequences of generalized Bernoulli polynomials of first and second kind is proposed. These sequences share with the classical Bernoulli polynomials many algebraic and number theoretical properties. A class of Euler-type polynomials is also presented.     

The Haruki-Rassias and related integral representations of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

Haruki and Rassias [H. Haruki, T.M. Rassias, New integral representations for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 175 (1993) 81-90] found the integral representations of the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and proved them by making use of the properties of certain functional equation. In this sequel, we rederive, in a completely different way, the results of Haruki and Rassias and deduce related and new integral representations. Our proofs are quite simple and remarkably elementary.     

A multiplication theorem for the Lerch zeta function and explicit representations of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

A multiplication theorem for the Lerch zeta function ?(s,a,ξ) is obtained, from which, when evaluating at s=−n for integers n?0, explicit representations for the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are derived in terms of two arrays of polynomials related to the classical Stirling and Eulerian numbers. As consequences, explicit formulas for some special values of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are given.     

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.     

Identities for Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli numbers

We prove that if m and \({\nu}\) are integers with \({0 \leq \nu \leq m}\) and x is a real number, then

1. $$\sum_{k=0 \atop k+m \, \, odd}^{m-1} {m \choose k}{k+m \choose \nu} B_{k+m-\nu}(x) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{j=0}^m (-1)^{j+m} {m \choose j}{j+m-1 \choose \nu} (j+m) x^{j+m-\nu-1},$$ where B _n (x) denotes the Bernoulli polynomial of degree n. An application of (1) leads to new identities for Bernoulli numbers B _n . Among others, we obtain
2. $$\sum_{k=0 \atop k+m \, \, odd}^{m -1} {m \choose k}{k+m \choose \nu} {k+m-\nu \choose j}B_{k+m-\nu-j} =0 \quad{(0 \leq j \leq m-2-\nu)}. $$ This formula extends two results obtained by Kaneko and Chen-Sun, who proved (2) for the special cases j = 1, \({\nu=0}\) and j = 3, \({\nu=0}\) , respectively.

     

On Bernoulli and Euler numbers

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate some basic relations (e.g., Voronoi's and Kummer's congruences) of Bernoulli and Euler numbers by manipulating Euler factors in a natural way.     

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.
