We establish two general identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, which are of a new type and have many consequences. The most striking result in this paper is as follows: If n is a positive integer, r + s + t = n and x + y + z = 1, then we have r s t x y n + s t r y z n + t r s z x n = 0 where s t x y n := n k=0 (−1) k s k t n − k B n−k (x)B k (y). It is interesting to compare this with...

Explicit and recursive formulas for Bernoulli and Euler numbers are derived from the Faá di Bruno formula for the higher derivatives of a composite function. Along the way we prove a result about composite generating functions which can be systematically used to derive such identities.

have numerous important applications in number theory, combinatorics, and numerical analysis, among other areas, [1–13]. It is easy to find the values G1 = 1, G3 = G5 = G7 = ··· = 0, and even coefficients are given by G2m = 2(1− 2)B2n = 2nE2n−1(0), where Bn is a Bernoulli number and En(x) is an Euler polynomial. The first few Genocchi numbers for n= 2,4, . . . are −1,−3,17,−155,2073, . . . . Th...

Abstract We recall two formulas, due to C. Jordan, for the successive derivatives of functions with an exponential or logarithmic inner function. We apply them to get addition formulas for the Stirling numbers of the second kind and for the Stirling numbers of the first kind. Then we show how one can obtain, in a simple way, explicit formulas for the generalized Euler polynomials, generalized E...

We are concerned with the existence and stability of multidimensional transonic shocks for the Euler equations for steady potential compressible fluids. The Euler equations, consisting of the conservation law of mass and the Bernoulli law for the velocity, can be written as the following second-order nonlinear equation of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type for the velocity potential φ : Ω ⊂ R → R: ...
