By applying the Newton-Gregory expansion to the polynomial associated with the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, we derive a couple of infinite families of explicit formulas for $S_k(n)$. One of the families…

We establish a new identity linking Bernoulli, Stirling (first kind), and Bessel (first kind) numbers: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n} 2^{\,n-k}\,s(n,k)\,B_k \;=\; \sum_{k=0}^{n} b(n,k)\,\frac{(-1)^k\,k!}{k+1}. \] This parallels the classical…
