We give series expansions for the Barnes multiple zeta functions in terms of rational functions whose numerators are complex-order Bernoulli polynomials, and whose denominators are linear. We also derive corresponding rational expansions for Dirichlet L-functions and multiple log gamma functions in terms of higher order Bernoulli polynomials. These expansions naturally express many of the well-...

It is shown in a previous work that Faber-Pandharipande-Zagier's and Miki's identities can be derived from a polynomial identity, which in turn follows from the Fourier series expansion of sums of products of Bernoulli functions. Motivated by and generalizing this, we consider three types of functions given by sums of products of higher-order Bernoulli functions and derive their Fourier series ...

We consider the modified q-analogue of Riemann zeta function which is defined by ζq(s)= ∑∞ n=1(qn(s−1)/[n]s), 0< q < 1, s ∈ C. In this paper, we give q-Bernoulli numbers which can be viewed as interpolation of the above q-analogue of Riemann zeta function at negative integers in the same way that Riemann zeta function interpolates Bernoulli numbers at negative integers. Also, we will treat some...

In this paper we investigate generalized poly-Bernoulli numbers. We call them multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers, and we establish a closed formula and a duality property for them.

Bernoulli polynomials play an important role in various expansions and approximation formulas which are useful both in analytic theory of numbers and the classical and the numerical analysis. These polynomials can be defined by various methods depending on the applications. There are six approaches to the theory of Bernoulli polynomials. We prefer here the definition by generating functions giv...

The roots of Bernoulli polynomials, Bn(z), when plotted in the complex plane, accumulate around a peculiar H-shaped curve. Karl Dilcher proved in 1987 that, on compact subsets of C, the Bernoulli polynomials asymptotically behave like sine or cosine. Here we establish the asmptotic behavior of Bn(nz), compute the distribution of real roots of Bernoulli polynomials and show that, properly rescal...

We present a computer algebra approach to proving identities on Bernoulli 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 re...

As a generalization of 2D Bernoulli polynomials, neo-Bernoulli polynomials are introduced from a point of view involving the use of nonexponential generating functions. Their relevant recurrence relations, the differential equations satisfied by them and some other properties are obtained. Especially, we obtain the relationships between them and neo-Hermite polynomials. We also study some other...
