We study a special Dirichlet series studied before by Apostol and Matsuoka and specify its values at negative integers. These values are related to a certain convolution of Bernoulli numbers
In the present paper, we deal mainly with arithmetic properties of Legendre polynomials by using their orthogonality property. We show that Legendre polynomials are proportional with Bernoulli, Euler, Hermite and Bernstein polynomials.
We introduce Bernoulli-Dunkl and Apostol-Euler-Dunkl polynomials as generalizations of Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials, where the role of the derivative is now played by the Dunkl operator on the real line. We use them to sum a bunch of series involving the zeros of Bessel functions.
In this paper, we introduce The 2-variable unified family of generalized Apostol-Euler, Bernoulli and Genocchi polynomials and derive some implicit summation formulae and general symmetry identities. The result extend some known summations and identities of generalized Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi numbers and polynomials.
We present a computer algebra approach to proving identities on Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials by using the extended Zeilberger's algorithm given by Chen, Hou and Mu. The key idea is to use the contour integral definitions of the Bernoulli and Euler numbers to establish recurrence relations on the integrands. Such recurrence relations have certain parameter free properties which lead to the required identities without computing the integrals.
In a recent paper, Yi-Ping Yu has given some interesting nonlinear moments of the Bernoulli umbra; the aim of this paper is to show the probabilistic counterpart of these results and to extend them to Bernoulli polynomials.
Using continued fraction expansions of certain polygamma functions as a main tool, we find orthogonal polynomials with respect to the odd-index Bernoulli polynomials $B_{2k+1}(x)$ and the Euler polynomials $E_{2k+ν}(x)$, for $ν=0, 1, 2$. In the process we also determine the corresponding Jacobi continued fractions (or J-fractions) and Hankel determinants. In all these cases the Hankel determinants are polynomials in $x$ which factor completely over the rationals.
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 Sheffer's sequences of polynomials related to the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform.
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a class of $q$-Bernoulli, $q$-Euler and $q$-Genocchi polynomials. The $q$-analogues of well-known formulas are derived. The $q$-analogue of the Srivastava--Pintér addition theorem is obtained. Some new identities involving $q$-polynomials are proved.
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 Srivastava--Pintér addition theorem is obtained. We give new identities involving q-Bernstein polynomials.
We prove certain identities involving Euler and Bernoulli polynomials that can be treated as recurrences. We use these and also other known identities to indicate connection of Euler and Bernoulli numbers with entries of inverses of certain lower triangular built of binomial coefficients. Another words we interpret Euler and Bernoulli numbers in terms of modified Pascal matrices.
The aim of this note is to provide a simple proof of some well-known identities and recurrences relating classical Bernoulli and Euler numbers by using the Abel sum of the divergent series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^{n} (n+1)^k$, $k$ a positive integers. Special attention is placed on the fact that the numerical value of these sums is determined by the linearity of the summation method involved.
We provide a multidimensional weighted Euler--MacLaurin summation formula on polytopes and a multidimensional generalization of a result due to L. J. Mordell on the series expansion in Bernoulli polynomials. These results are consequences of a more general series expansion; namely, if $χ_{τ\mathcal{P}}$ denotes the characteristic function of a dilated integer convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ and $q$ is a function with suitable regularity, we prove that the periodization of $qχ_{τ\mathcal{P}}$ admits an expansion in terms of multivariate Bernoulli polynomials. These multivariate polynomials are re…
n this paper, we present $q$-Bernoulli and $q$-Euler polynomials generated by the third Jackson $q$-Bessel function to construct new types of $q$-Lidstone expansion theorem. We prove that the entire function may be expanded in terms of $q$-Lidstone polynomials which are $q$-Bernoulli polynomials and the coefficients are the even powers of the $q$-derivative $\frac{δ_q f(z)}{δ_q z}$ at $0$ and $1$. The other forms expand the function in $q$-Lidstone polynomials based on $q$-Euler polynomials and the coefficients contain the even and odd powers of the $q$-derivative $\frac{δ_q f(z)}{δ_q z}$.
We present various identities involving the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Among others, we prove that $$ \sum_{k=0}^{[n/4]}(-1)^k {n\choose 4k}\frac{B_{n-4k}(z) }{2^{6k}} =\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\sum_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k \frac{1+i^k}{(1+i)^k} {n\choose k}{B_{n-k}(2z)} $$ and $$ \sum_{k=1}^{n} 2^{2k-1} {2n\choose 2k-1} B_{2k-1}(z) = \sum_{k=1}^n k \, 2^{2k} {2n\choose 2k} E_{2k-1}(z). $$ Applications of our results lead to formulas for Bernoulli and Euler numbers, like, for instance, $$ n E_{n-1} =\sum_{k=1}^{[n/2]} \frac{2^{2k}-1}{k} (2^{2k}-2^n){n\choose 2k-1} B_{2k}B_{n-2k}. $$
Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of $n$ of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials $B_n^μ(z)$ and Euler polynomials $E_n^μ(z)$. In a previous paper López and Temme (1999) these polynomials have been considered for large values of $μ$, with $n$ fixed. In the literature no complete description of the large $n$ asymptotics of the considered polynomials is available. We give the general expansions, summarize known results of special cases and give more details about these results. We use two-point Taylor expansions for obtaining new type of expansions. The analysis is based on contou…
A new approach to the Euler-Bernoulli beam based on an inhomogeneous matrix string problem is presented. Three ramifications of the approach are developed: (1) motivated by an analogy with the Camassa-Holm equation a class of isospectral deformations of the beam problem is formulated; (2) a reformulation of the matrix string problem in terms of a certain compact operator is used to obtain basic spectral properties of the inhomogeneous matrix string problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions; (3) the inverse problem is solved for the special case of a discrete Euler-Bernoulli beam. The solution…
In this paper, we present series representations of the remainders in the expansions for $2/(e^t+1)$, $\mbox{sech} t$ and $\coth t$. For example, we prove that for $t > 0$ and $N\in\mathbb{N}:=\{1, 2, \ldots\}$, \[\mbox{sech}\, t=\sum_{j=0}^{N-1}\frac{E_{2j}}{(2j)!}t^{2j}+R_N(t) \] with \[ R_N(t)=\frac{(-1)^{N}2t^{2N}}{π^{2N-1}}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k}}{(k+\frac{1}{2})^{2N-1}\Big(t^2+π^2(k+\frac{1}{2})^2\Big)}, \] and \[\mbox{sech}\, t=\sum_{j=0}^{N-1}\frac{E_{2j}}{(2j)!}t^{2j}+Θ(t, N)\frac{E_{2N}}{(2N)!}t^{2N} \] with a suitable $0 < Θ(t, N) < 1$. Here $E_n$ are the Euler numbers. By…
We show how to turn the question of the absolute continuity of Bernoulli convolutions into one of counting the growth of the number of overlaps in the system. When the contraction parameter is a hyperbolic algebraic integer, we turn this question of absolute continuity into a question involving the ergodic theory of cocycles over domain exchange transformations.
We prove that the set of exceptional $λ\in (1/2,1)$ such that the associated Bernoulli convolution is singular has zero Hausdorff dimension, and likewise for biased Bernoulli convolutions, with the exceptional set independent of the bias. This improves previous results by Erdös, Kahane, Solomyak, Peres and Schlag, and Hochman. A theorem of this kind is also obtained for convolutions of homogeneous self-similar measures. The proofs are very short, and rely on old and new results on the dimensions of self-similar measures and their convolutions, and the decay of their Fourier transform.
We prove that complex Bernoulli convolutions are absolutely continuous in the supercritical parameter region, outside of an exceptional set of parameters of zero Hausdorff dimension. Similar results are also obtained in the biased case, and for other parametrized families of self-similar sets and measures in the complex plane, extending earlier results.
The asymptotic expansion of digamma function is a starting point for the derivation of approximants for harmonic sums or Euler-Mascheroni constant. It is usual to derive such approximations as values of logarithmic function, which leads to the expansion of the exponentials of digamma function. In this paper the asymptotic expansion of the function $\exp(pψ(x+t))$ is derived and analyzed in details, especially for integer values of parameter $p$. The behavior for integer values of $p$ is proved and as a consequence a new identity for Bernoulli polynomials. The obtained formulas are used to impr…
We prove that Bernoulli convolutions are absolutely continuous provided the parameter lambda is an algebraic number sufficiently close to 1 depending on the Mahler measure of lambda.
The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $λ\in(0,1)$ is the measure on $\bf R$ that is the distribution of the random power series $\sum\pmλ^n$, where $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. This paper surveys recent progress on our understanding of the regularity properties of these measures.
We study a class of linear ordinary differential equations (ODE)s with distributional coefficients. These equations are defined using an {\it intrinsic} multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions which is an extension of the Hörmander product of distributions with non-intersecting singular supports [L. Hörmander, The Analysis of Linear Partial Diffe\-rential Operators I, Springer-Verlag, 1983]. We provide a regularization procedure for these ODEs and prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for their solutions. We also determine the conditions for which the solutions are regular and dis…
We give an expression for the Garsia entropy of Bernoulli convolutions in terms of products of matrices. This gives an explicit rate of convergence of the Garsia entropy and shows that one can calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the Bernoulli convolution $ν_β$ to arbitrary given accuracy whenever $β$ is algebraic. In particular, if the Garsia entropy $H(β)$ is not equal to $\log(β)$ then we have a finite time algorithm to determine whether or not $\mathrm{dim}_\mathrm{H} (ν_β)=1$.
We study the signed Bernoulli convolution $$ν_β^{(n)}=*_{j=1}^n \left (\frac12δ_{β^{-j}}-\frac12δ_{-β^{-j}}\right ),\ n\ge 1$$ where $β>1$ satisfies $$β^m=β^{m-1}+\cdots+β+1$$ for some integer $m\ge 2$. When $m$ is odd, we show that the variation $|ν_β^{(n)}|$ coincides the unsigned Bernoulli convolution $$μ_β^{(n)}=*_{j=1}^n \left (\frac12δ_{β^{-j}}+\frac12δ_{-β^{-j}}\right ).$$ When $m$ is even, we obtain the exact asymptotic of the total variation $\|ν_β^{(n)}\|$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$.
The Bernoulli convolution $ν_λ$ with parameter $λ\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure supported on $\mathbf{R}$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum\pmλ^n$, where the $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. We prove that $\dimν_λ=1$ for all transcendental $λ\in(1/2,1)$.
Let $β\in(1,2)$ and let $H_β$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution $μ_β$ associated with $β$. In the present paper we show that $H_β>0.82$ for all $β\in (1, 2)$ and improve this bound for certain ranges. Combined with recent results by Hochman and Breuillard-Varjú, this yields $\dim (μ_β)\ge0.82$ for all $β\in(1,2)$. In addition, we show that if an algebraic $β$ is such that $[\mathbb{Q}(β): \mathbb{Q}(β^k)] = k$ for some $k \geq 2$, then $\dim(μ_β)=1$. Such is, for instance, any root of a Pisot number which is not a Pisot number itself.
