The discovery is accomplished by introducing a novel method to generate a polynomial expression for each of the Euler sums, ΣNk=0kn,n∈Z+ . The described method flows simply from initial discussions of the Riemann sum definition of a definite integral and is readily accessible to all new calculus students. Students investigate the Bernoulli numbers and the interesting connections with Pascal's Triangle. Advice is offered throughout as to how the project can be assigned to students and offers multiple suggestions for additional exploration for any motivated student.展开更多

In this paper, by means of the methods of Riordan arrays, we establish general identities involving the numbers , binomial coefficients and inverse of binomial coefficients. From these identities, we deduce some identities involving binomial coefficients, Harmonic numbers and the Euler sum identities. Furthermore, we obtain the asymptotic values of some summations associated with the numbers by Darboux’s method.展开更多

These and most of their corollaries are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in two variables. These abundance of symmetries shed new light even on the existing identities so as to yield some further interesting ones. The derivations of identities are based on the p-adic integral expression of the generating function for the q -Euler polynomials and the quotient of integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the q -analogue of alternating power sums.展开更多
