In the first part we establish a connection between the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula and the Rota-Baxter functional equation. In the second part we give a simple proof of a formula, due to Ramanujan, on the summation of certain…

In this paper, we establish an identity for Bernoulli's generalized polynomials. We deduce generalizations for many relations involving classical Bernoulli numbers or polynomials. In particular, we generalize a recent Gessel identity.

This note is devoted to study the recurrent numerical sequence defined by: $a_0 = 0$, $a_n = \frac{n}{2} a_{n - 1} + (n - 1)!$ ($\forall n \geq 1$). Although, it is immediate that ${(a_n)}_n$ is constituted of rational numbers with…

Let ${\mathcal{P}_{n}}$ denote the set of positive integers which are prime to $n$. Let $B_{n}$ be the $n$-th Bernoulli number. For any prime $p \ge 11$ and integer $r\ge 2$, we prove that $$ \sum\limits_{\begin{smallmatrix}…

Let ``Faulhaber's formula'' refer to an expression for the sum of powers of integers written with terms in n(n+1)/2. Initially, the author used Faulhaber's formula to explain why odd Bernoulli numbers are equal to zero. Next, Cereceda gave…

In a recent paper, Roland Bacher conjectured three identities concerning Stern's sequence and its twist. In this paper we prove Bacher's conjectures. Possibly of independent interest, we also give a way to compute the Stern value (or…

Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer. The $n$-th Ap\'{e}ry number is defined by $$ A_n:=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n+k}{k}^2\binom{n}{k}^2. $$ Z.-W. Sun ever investigated the congruence properties of Ap\'{e}ry numbers and posed some conjectures. For…

In 2003, Zhao discovered a curious congruence involving harmonic series and Bernoulli numbers: for any odd prime $p$, $$\sum_{\substack{i,j,k\ge 1\\\gcd(ijk,p)=1\\i+j+k=p}}\frac{1}{ijk}\equiv -2B_{p-3} \pmod{p},$$ where $B_n$ is the $n$-th…

Let $n$ and $r$ be positive integers. Define the numbers $S_n^{(r)}$ by $S_n^{(r)}=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}^2\binom{2k}{k}(2k+1)^r.$ In this paper we prove some conjectures of Guo and Liu which extend some conjectures of Z.-W. Sun…

In this paper we use computational methods to disprove a conjecture by Alaoglu and Erd\H{o}s regarding the superabundant numbers.

In this paper, we confirm six conjectures on the exact values of some permanents, relating them to the Genocchi numbers of the first and second kinds as well as the Euler numbers. For example, we prove that…

We review and discuss some results on the representation of Bernoulli, poly-Bernoulli numbers, and Bernoulli and Cauchy polynomials in terms of Stirling numbers of the first or second kind, or in terms of r-Stirling numbers.

We provide several simple recursive formulae for the moment sequence of infinite Bernoulli convolution. We relate moments of one infinite Bernoulli convolution with others having different but related parameters. We give examples relating…

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…

Scale invariant scattering suggests that all Bernoulli numbers B_{2n} can be naturally partitioned, i.e., written as particular finite sums of same-signed, monotonic, rational numbers. Some properties of these rational numbers are discussed…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author because Conjecture 1 is false. Please see arXiv:0901.2093 for a justification that Conjecture 1 is false. The other main results are also available from the above URL.

Hankel determinants of sequences related to Bernoulli and Euler numbers have been studied before, and numerous identities are known. However, when a sequence is shifted by one unit, the situation often changes significantly. In this paper…

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.

This paper shows that a finite discrete convolution involving Stirling numbers of both kinds and harmonic numbers can be expressed in terms of the Bernoulli numbers. As applications of this expression, the linear recurrence relation for the…

The Bernoulli numbers are fascinating and ubiquitous numbers, they occur in several domains of Mathematics like Number theory (FLT), Group theory, Calculus and even in Physics. Since Bernoulli's work, they are yet studied to understand…
