Shortened recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers
AbstractStarting with two little-known results of Saalschütz, we derive a number of general recurrence relations for Bernoulli numbers. These relations involve an arbitrarily small number of terms and have Stirling numbers of both kinds as coefficients. As special cases we obtain explicit formulas for Bernoulli numbers, as well as several known identities
Extended Bernoulli and Stirling matrices and related combinatorial identities
In this paper we establish plenty of number theoretic and combinatoric
identities involving generalized Bernoulli and Stirling numbers of both kinds.
These formulas are deduced from Pascal type matrix representations of Bernoulli
and Stirling numbers. For this we define and factorize a modified Pascal matrix
corresponding to Bernoulli and Stirling cases.Comment: Accepted for publication in Linear Algebra and its Application
An Identity for Generalized Bernoulli Polynomials
Recognizing the great importance of Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials in various branches of mathematics, the present paper develops two results dealing with these objects. The first one proposes an identity for the generalized Bernoulli polynomials, which leads to further generalizations for several relations involving classical Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. In particular, it generalizes a recent identity suggested by Gessel. The second result allows the deduction of similar identities for Fibonacci, Lucas, and Chebyshev polynomials, as well as for generalized Euler polynomials, Genocchi polynomials, and generalized numbers of Stirling
