Generalizations of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials

Abstract

The concepts of Bernoulli numbers Bn, Bernoulli polynomials Bn(x), and the generalized Bernoulli numbers Bn(a,b) are generalized to the one Bn(x;a,b,c) which is called the generalized Bernoulli polynomials depending on three positive real parameters. Numerous properties of these polynomials and some relationships between Bn, Bn(x), Bn(a,b), and Bn(x;a,b,c) are established.
