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.     

Explicit formulae for sums of products of Bernoulli polynomials,including poly-Bernoulli polynomials

We study sums of products of Bernoulli polynomials, including poly-Bernoulli polynomials. As a main result, for any positive integer $m$ , explicit expressions of sums of $m$ products are given. This result extends that of the first author, as well as the famous Euler formula about sums of two products of Bernoulli numbers.     

Several explicit formulae of Cauchy polynomials in terms of {r}-Stirling numbers

The integer values of Cauchy polynomials are expressed in terms of \({r}\)-Stirling numbers of the first kind. Several relations between the integral values of Bernoulli polynomials and those of Cauchy polynomials are obtained in terms of \({r}\)-Stirling numbers of both kinds. Also, we find a relation between the Cauchy polynomials and hyperharmonic numbers.     

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.

A Note on Bernoulli Numbers and Shintani Generalized Bernoulli Polynomials

Generalized Bernoulli polynomials were introduced by Shintani in 1976 in order to express the special values at non-positive integers of Dedekind zeta functions for totally real numbers. The coefficients of such polynomials are finite combinations of products of Bernoulli numbers which are difficult to get hold of. On the other hand, Zagier was able to get the explicit formula for the special values in cases of real quadratic number fields.

In this paper, we shall improve Shintani's formula by proving that the special values can be determined by a finite set of polynomials. This provides a convenient way to evaluate the special values of various types of Dedekind functions. Indeed, a much broader class of zeta functions considered by the author [4] admits a similar formula for its special values. As a consequence, we are able to find infinitely many identities among Bernoulli numbers through identities among zeta functions. All these identities are difficult to prove otherwise.

     

The Möbius inversion formula for Fourier series applied to Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

Hurwitz found the Fourier expansion of the Bernoulli polynomials over a century ago. In general, Fourier analysis can be fruitfully employed to obtain properties of the Bernoulli polynomials and related functions in a simple manner. In addition, applying the technique of Möbius inversion from analytic number theory to Fourier expansions, we derive identities involving Bernoulli polynomials, Bernoulli numbers, and the Möbius function; this includes formulas for the Bernoulli polynomials at rational arguments. Finally, we show some asymptotic properties concerning the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials.     

An identity of symmetry for the Bernoulli polynomials

The main purpose of this paper is to prove an identity of symmetry for the higher order Bernoulli polynomials. It turns out that the recurrence relation and multiplication theorem for the Bernoulli polynomials which discussed in [F.T. Howard, Application of a recurrence for the Bernoulli numbers, J. Number Theory 52 (1995) 157-172], as well as a relation of symmetry between the power sum polynomials and the Bernoulli numbers developed in [H.J.H. Tuenter, A symmetry of power sum polynomials and Bernoulli numbers, Amer. Math. Monthly 108 (2001) 258-261], are all special cases of our results.     

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.     

Unified presentation of p-adic L-functions associated with unification of the special numbers

By using partial differential equations (PDEs) of the generating functions for the unification of the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials and numbers, we derive many new identities and recurrence relations for these polynomials and numbers. In [33], Srivastava et al. defined a unified presentation of certain meromorphic functions related to the families of the partial zeta type functions. By using these functions, we construct p-adic functions which are related to the partial zeta type functions. By applying these p-adic function, we construct unified presentation of p-adic L-functions. These functions give us generalization of the Kubota–Leopoldt p-adic L-functions, which are related to the Bernoulli numbers and the other p-adic L-functions, which are related to the Euler numbers and polynomials. We also give some remarks and comments on these functions.     

Generalized Bernoulli Polynomials and Numbers,Revisited

We describe with some new details the connection between generalized Bernoulli polynomials, Bernoulli polynomials and generalized Bernoulli numbers (Norlund polynomials). A new recursive and explicit formulae for these polynomials are derived.     

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.     

Congruences for degenerate number sequences

The degenerate Stirling numbers and degenerate Eulerian polynomials are intimately connected to the arithmetic of generalized factorials. In this article, we show that these numbers and similar sequences may in fact be expressed as p-adic integrals of generalized factorials. As an application of this identification we deduce systems of congruences which are analogues and generalizations of the Kummer congruences for the ordinary Bernoulli numbers.

A New Formula for the Bernoulli Polynomials

In this note we show that a seemingly new class of Stirling-type pairs can be applied to produce a new representation of the Bernoulli polynomials at positive rational arguments. A class of generalized harmonic numbers is also investigated, and we point out that these give a new relation for the so-called harmonic polynomials.     

A closed formula for the generating function of p-Bernoulli numbers

Abstract

In this paper, using geometric polynomials, we obtain a generating function of p-Bernoulli numbers in terms of harmonic numbers. As consequences of this generating function, we derive closed formulas for the finite summation of Bernoulli and harmonic numbers involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. We also give a relationship between the p-Bernoulli numbers and the generalized Bernoulli polynomials.     

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.     

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.     

A Discrete Analog of Euler's Summation Formula

In this paper, we prove a discrete analog of Euler's summation formula. The difference from the classical Euler formula is in that the derivatives are replaced by finite differences and the integrals by finite sums. Instead of Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials, special numbers P_n and special polynomials P_n(x) introduced by Korobov in 1996 appear in the formula.
