In this note, starting with a little-known result of Kuo, I derive a recurrence relation for the Bernoulli numbers $B_{2 n}$, $n$ being any positive integer. This new recurrence seems advantageous in comparison to other known formulae since…

In the history of infinitesimal calculus, we trace innovation from Leibniz to Cauchy and reaction from Berkeley to Mansion and beyond. We explore 19th century infinitesimal lores, including the approaches of Simeon-Denis Poisson,…

We derive an expression for the generalized Bernoulli numbers in terms of the Bernoulli numbers involving the (exponential) complete Bell polynomials.

Let $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_n, a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n \in \N$, $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n \in \R$, and denote the $k$th periodized Bernoulli polynomial by $\B_k(x)$. We study expressions of the form \[ \sum_{h \bmod{a_k}} \ \prod_{\substack{i=1\\ i\not=k}}^{n}…

The Ulam sequence, described by Stanislaw Ulam in the 1960s, starts $1,2$ and then iteratively adds the smallest integer that can be uniquely written as the sum of two distinct earlier terms: this gives $1,2,3,4,6,8,11,\dots$. Already in…

In 1655, John Wallis whilst at the University of Oxford discovered the famous and beautiful formula for pi, now known as Wallis' Product. Since then, several analogous formulae have been discovered generalising the original. One more modern…

We extend the scope of analytic combinatorics to classes containing objects that have irrational sizes. The generating function for such a class is a power series that admits irrational exponents (which we call a Ribenboim series). A…

Let us consider subcritical Bernoulli percolation on a connected, transitive, infinite and locally finite graph. In this paper, we propose a new (and short) proof of the exponential decay property for the volume of clusters. We do not rely…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, Jianqiang Zhao has established a curious congruence $$ \sum_{i+j+k=p \atop i,j,k > 0} \frac{1}{ijk} \equiv -2B_{p-3}\pmod p , $$ where $B_{n}$ denotes the $n-$th Bernoulli numbers. In this paper, we will generalize…

This paper introduces a symbolic calculus-based approach for deriving closed-form expressions for the sums of arithmetic sequences. The method extends beyond constant-difference sequences to those with polynomially increasing steps,…

We announce a higher-dimensional generalization of the Bailey Transform, Bailey Lemma, and iterative ``Bailey chain'' concept in the setting of basic hypergeometric series very well-poised on unitary $A_{\ell}$ or symplectic $C_{\ell}$…

The block maxima method is a classical and widely applied statistical method for time series extremes. It has recently been found that respective estimators whose asymptotics are driven by empirical means can be improved by using sliding…

Various new identities, recurrence relations, integral representations, connection and explicit formulas are established for the Bernoulli, Euler numbers and the values of Riemann's zeta function. To do this, we explore properties of some…

We investigate the representation of arbitrary polynomials using probabilistic Bernoulli and degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with a random variable $Y$, whose moment generating function exists in a neighborhood of the origin. In…

A construction of new sequences of generalized Bernoulli polynomials of first and second kind is proposed. These sequences share with the classical Bernoulli polynomials many algebraic and number--theoretical properties. A new class of…

Certain generalization of Euler numbers was defined in 1935 by Lehmer using cubic roots of unity, as a natural generalization of Bernoulli and Euler numbers. In this paper, Lehmer's generalized Euler numbers are studied to give certain…

The famous conjecture of V.Ya.Ivrii (1978) says that {\it in every billiard with infinitely-smooth boundary in a Euclidean space the set of periodic orbits has measure zero}. In the present paper we study the complex algebraic version of…

Euler's solution in 1734 of the Basel problem, which asks for a closed form expression for the sum of the reciprocals of all perfect squares, is one of the most celebrated results of mathematical analysis. In the modern era, numerous proofs…

E661 in the Enestrom index. This was originally published as "Variae considerationes circa series hypergeometricas" (1776). In this paper Euler is looking at the asymptotic behavior of infinite products that are similar to the Gamma…

The theory of bi-Hamiltonian systems has its roots in what is commonly referred to as the "Lenard recursion formula". The story about the discovery of the formula told by Andrew Lenard is the subject of this article.
