Abstract

We present new sharper lower and upper bounds for the non-zero Bernoulli numbers using Euler's formula for the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we determine the best possible constants α \alpha and β \beta such that the double inequality 2(2k)!π2k(22k1)32k(32kα)<B2k<2(2k)!π2k(22k1)32k(32kβ), \frac{2\cdot (2k)!}{\pi^{2k} (2^{2k}-1)}\frac{3^{2k}}{(3^{2k}-\alpha)} < \vert B_{2k} \vert < \frac{2\cdot (2k)!}{\pi^{2k} (2^{2k}-1)}\frac{3^{2k}}{(3^{2k}-\beta)}, holds for k=1,2,3,. k = 1, 2, 3, \cdots. Our main results refine the existing bounds of B2k \vert B_{2k} \vert in the literature.
