In this paper, we give a short new proof of a recent result due to Schumacher concerning an extension of Faulhaber’s identity for the Bernoulli numbers. Our approach follows from basic manipulations involving the ordinary generating function for the Bernoulli polynomials in the context of the Zeon algebra.

We consider explicit expansions of some elementary and q-functions in basic Fourier series introduced recently by Bustoz and Suslov. Natural q-extensions of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, numbers, and the Riemann zeta function are discussed as a by-product. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a generalization of the Arakawa–Kaneko zeta function and investigate their special values at negative integers. The special values are written as the sums of products of Bernoulli and poly-Bernoulli polynomials. We establish the basic properties for this zeta function and their special values.

The Rayleigh beam is a perturbation of the Bernoulli-Euler beam. We establish convergence of the solution of the Exact Controllability Problem for the Rayleigh beam to the correspondig solution of the Bernoulli-Euler beam.The problem of convergence is related to a Singular Perturbation Problem. The main tool in solving this problem is a weak version of a lower bound for hyperbolic polynomials.

Based on congruences mod p and on properties of Bernoulli polynomials and Bernoulli numbers, several conditions are derived for x, k > 2 to satisfy the Diophantine equation 1k + 2k H-\(x 1 )* = xk . It is proved that ord2(x 3) = orà2k + 3 and that x cannot be divisible by any regular prime. Furthermore, by using the results of experiments with the above conditions on an SGI workstation it is pr...

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.

Let p be a fixed odd prime. Throughout this paper, Zp,Qp,Cp will, respectively, denote the ring of p-adic integers, the field of p-adic rational numbers, and the completion of algebraic closure of Qp. The p-adic absolute value | |p on Cp is normalized so that |p|p 1/p. Let Z>0 be the set of natural numbers and Z≥0 Z>0 ∪ {0}. As is well known, the Bernoulli polynomials Bn x are defined by the ge...

In this research, the Bernoulli polynomials are introduced. The properties of these polynomials are employed to construct the operational matrices of integration together with the derivative and product. These properties are then utilized to transform the differential equation to a matrix equation which corresponds to a system of algebraic equations with unknown Bernoulli coefficients. This met...

We obtain new recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and convolution identities for higher-order geometric polynomials. These relations generalize known results polynomials lead to congruences and, in particular, p-Bernoulli numbers.
