Woon's tree and sums over compositions
This article studies sums over all compositions of an integer. We derive a
generating function for this quantity, and apply it to several special
functions, including various generalized Bernoulli numbers. We connect
composition sums with a recursive tree introduced by S.G. Woon and extended by
P. Fuchs under the name "general PI tree", in which an output sequence
is associated to the input sequence by summing over each
row of the tree built from . Our link with the notion of compositions
allows to introduce a modification of Fuchs' tree that takes into account
nonlinear transforms of the generating function of the input sequence. We also
introduce the notion of \textit{generalized sums over compositions}, where we
look at composition sums over each part of a composition
