The current article focus on the ordinary Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi numbers and polynomials. It introduces a new approach to obtain identities involving these special polynomials and numbers via generating functions. As an application of the new approach, an easy proof for the main result in [6] is given. Relationships between the Genocchi and the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers are obtai...

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. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

We investigate Fourier expansions for the Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials using the Lipschitz summation formula and obtain their integral representations. We give some explicit formulas at rational arguments for these polynomials in terms of the Hurwitz zeta function. We also derive the integral representations for the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and related known ...

The main object of this paper is to investigate the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the Apostol-Euler polynomials. We first establish two relationships between the generalized Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials. It can be found that many results obtained before are special cases of these two relationships. Moreover, we have a study on the sums of products of the Apostol-Bernoulli...

This paper features the modeling and design of a Robust Decentralized Fast Output Sampling (RDFOS) Feedback control technique for the active vibration control of a smart flexible multimodel Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beams for a multivariable (MIMO) case by retaining the first 6 vibratory modes. The beam structure is modeled in state space form using the concept of piezoelectric theory, the Eul...

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials Bn(x;λ) in detail. The starting point is their Fourier series on [0, 1] which, it is shown, remains valid as an asymptotic expansion over compact subsets of the complex plane. This is used to determine explicit estimates on the constants in the approximation, and also to analyze oscillatory phenomena which arise in certain ...

In this paper we study the reliability of calculations of the structural reliability. It compares the exact reliability expression within the Bernoulli-Euler column theory with its counterpart obtained via the finite difference expression in the buckling context.

The earliest example of bifurcation is the buckling of of an elastic beam. In engineering, buckling is a failure mode characterized by a sudden failure of a structure subjected to high compressive stresses, where the actual compressive stresses at failure are greater than the ultimate compressive stresses that the material is capable of withstanding. This mode of failure is also described as fa...

Finite element formulations based generally on classical beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli or Timoshenko. Sometimes, these two formulations could be problematic expressed in terms of restrictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, in case of thicker beams due to non-consideration of transverse shear; phenomenon that is known as shear locking characterized the Timoshenko beam theory, in case of...

Recently, λ-Bernoulli and λ-Euler numbers are studied in [5, 10]. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic study of some families of the q-extensions of the λBernoulli and the λ-Euler numbers by using the bosonic p-adic q-integral and the fermionic p-adic q-integral. The investigation of these λ-q-Bernoulli and λ-q-Euler numbers leads to interesting identities related to these objec...
