In the paper, the authors find two closed forms involving the Stirling numbers of the second kind and in terms of a determinant of combinatorial numbers for the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers.
In this note we will use Faulhaber's Formula to explain why the odd Bernoulli numbers are equal to zero.
The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the measure on $\bf R$ that is the distribution of the random power series $\sum\pm\lambda^n$, where $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. This paper surveys recent progress on…
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
An overlooked formula of E. Lucas for the generalized Bernoulli numbers is proved using generating functions. This is then used to provide a new proof and a new form of a sum involving classical Bernoulli numbers studied by K. Dilcher. The…
In this paper, we will deal with some new formulae for two product Genocchi polynomials together with both Euler polynomials and Bernoulli polynomials. We get some applications for Genocchi polynomials. Our applications possess a number of…
In this paper we establish some congruences involving the Ap\'ery numbers $\beta_{n}=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}^2\binom{n+k}{k}$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. For example, we show that $$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(11k^2+13k+4)\beta_k\equiv0\pmod{2n^2}$$ for…
We show that Genocchi and Bernoulli numbers are closely related to Fibonacci polynomials and derive some q-analogues.
The Bernoulli convolution $\nu_\lambda$ with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure supported on $\mathbf{R}$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum\pm\lambda^n$, where the $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. We…
An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…
The Stirling numbers of the first kind can be represented in terms of a new class of polynomials that are closely related to the Bernoulli polynomials. Recursion relations for these polynomials are given.
In this paper we state some conjectures about q-Fibonacci polynomials which for q=1 reduce to well-known results about Fibonacci numbers and Fibonacci polynomials.
In this paper, by virtue of a determinantal formula for derivatives of the ratio between two differentiable functions, in view of the Fa\`a di Bruno formula, and with the help of several identities and closed-form formulas for the partial…
The method analytic continuation of operators acting integer n-times to complex s-times (hep-th/9707206) is applied to an operator that generates Bernoulli numbers B_n (Math. Mag. 70(1), 51 (1997)). B_n and Bernoulli polynomials B_n(s) are…
In 1989, Rota conjectured that, given $n$ bases $B_1,\dots,B_n$ of the vector space $\mathbb{F}^n$ over some field $\mathbb{F}$, one can always decompose the multi-set $B_1\cup \dots \cup B_n$ into transversal bases. This conjecture remains…
Congruences modulo prime powers involving generalized Harmonic numbers are known. While looking for similar congruences, we have encountered a curious triangular array of numbers indexed with positive integers $n,k$, involving the Bernoulli…
We extend the work by Mastroianni and Szabados regarding the barycentric interpolant introduced by J.-P. Berrut in 1988, for equally spaced nodes. We prove fully their first conjecture and present a proof of a weaker version of their second…
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a new class of generalized Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials based on the q-integers. The q-analogues of well-known formulas are derived. The q-analogue of the…
In this note, we study a class of random subsets of positive integers induced by Bernoulli random variables. We obtain sufficient conditions such that the random set is almost surely lacunary, does not have bounded gaps and contains…
Paul Erdos conjectured that for every n in N, n>1, there exist a, b, c natural numbers, not necessarily distinct, so that 4/n=1/a+1/b+1/c (see \cite{rg}). In this paper we prove an extension of Mordell's theorem and formulate a conjecture…
