Poly-Bernoulli numbers $B_n^{(k)}\in\mathbb{Q}$\,($n \geq 0$,\,$k \in \mathbb{Z}$) are defined by Kaneko in 1997. Multi-Poly-Bernoulli numbers\,$B_n^{(k_1,k_2,\ldots, k_r)}$, defined by using multiple polylogarithms, are generations of…
A lonesum matrix is a matrix that can be uniquely reconstructed from its row and column sums. Kaneko defined the poly-Bernoulli numbers $B_m^{(n)}$ by a generating function, and Brewbaker computed the number of binary lonesum $m\times…
For any integer $k$, M.Kaneko defined $k$-th poly-Bernoulli numbers as a kind of generalization of classical Bernoulli numbers using $k$-th polylogarithm. In case when $k$ is positive, $k$-th poly-Bernoulli numbers is a sequence of rational…
The Concepts of poly-Bernoulli numbers $B_n^{(k)}$, poly-Bernoulli polynomials $B_n^{k}{(t)}$ and the generalized poly-bernoulli numbers $B_{n}^{(k)}(a,b)$ are generalized to $B_{n}^{(k)}(t,a,b,c)$ which is called the generalized…
The classical Bernoulli numbers $B_m$ can be expressed using Stirling numbers of the second kind, and M. Kaneko extended this framework by defining poly-Bernoulli numbers ${\mathbb B}_m^{(k)}$, for which explicit formulas using the Stirling…
Poly-Bernoulli numbers are one of generalizations of the classical Bernoulli numbers. Since a negative index poly-Bernoulli number is an integer, it is an interesting problem to study this number from combinatorial viewpoint. In this short…
The main contribution of this paper is a formula for the number of acyclic orientations of a complete bipartite, $K_{n_1,n_2},$ revealing that it is equal to the poly-Bernoulli number $B_{n_1}^{(-n_2)}$ introduced in 1997 by Kaneko. We also…
This is a collection of definitions, notations and proofs for the Bernoulli numbers $B_n$ appearing in formulas for the sum of integer powers, some of which can be found scattered in the large related historical literature in French,…
In this paper we introduce three combinatorial models for symmetrized poly-Bernoulli numbers. Based on our models we derive generalizations of some identities for poly-Bernoulli numbers. Finally, we set open questions and directions of…
The modified B_{n}^{*} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n+r}{2r} \frac{B_{r}}{n+r}, \quad n > 0 introduced by D. Zagier in 1998 are extended to the polynomial case by replacing $B_{r}$ by the Bernoulli polynomials $B_{r}(x)$. Properties of these new…
In this note we prove combinatorially some new formulas connecting poly-Bernoulli numbers with negative indices to Eulerian numbers.
As properties of poly-Bernoulli numbers, a number of formulas such as the duality formula, explicit formula using the Stirling numbers of the second kind and periodicity for negative upper-index have been established. For the multi-indexed…
This paper presents a new generalization of the Genocchi numbers and the Genocchi theorem. As consequences, we obtain some important families of integer-valued polynomials those are closely related to the Bernoulli polynomials. Denoting by…
The poly-Bernoulli numbers and its relative are defined by the generating series using the polylogarithm series, and we call them type $B$ and $C$, respectively. As a generalization of these poly-Bernoulli numbers, we introduce Schur type…
In this paper we present several natural $q$-analogues of the poly-Bernoulli numbers arising in combinatorial contexts. We also recall some relating analytical results and ask for combinatorial interpretations.
In this article, we introduce combinatorial models for poly-Bernoulli polynomials and poly-Euler numbers of both kinds. As their applications, we provide combinatorial proofs of some identities involving poly-Bernoulli polynomials.
We define and study the combinatorial properties of compositional Bernoulli numbers and polynomials within the framework of rational combinatorics.
It is significant to study congruences involving multiple harmonic sums. Let $p$ be an odd prime, in recent years, the following curious congruence $$\sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p \\ i, j, k>0}} \frac{1}{i j k} \equiv-2 B_{p-3}\pmod p$$ has been…
Recently, B\'{e}nyi and the second author introduced two combinatorial interpretations for symmetrized poly-Bernoulli polynomials. In the present study, we construct bijections between these combinatorial objects. We also define various…
For integers $n,k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the power sum $1^k +2^k + \cdots + n^k$. In this note, we first recall the minimal recurrence relation connecting $S_k(n)$ and $S_{k-1}(n)$ established by Abramovich (1973). We then discuss an…
