Bernoulli polynomials

The Bernoulli polynomials are an important tool obtained from Bernoulli numbers.

Mathematical overview

The $n$-th Bernoulli polynomial is defined as $$ B_n(X) = ∑_{k = 0}^n {n \choose k} (-1)^k B_k X^{n - k} $$ where $B_k$ is the $k$-th Bernoulli number. The Bernoulli polynomials are generating functions, $$ \frac{t e^{tX} }{ e^t - 1} = ∑_{n = 0}^{\infty} B_n(X) \frac{t^n}{n!} $$

Implementation detail

Bernoulli polynomials are defined using bernoulli, the Bernoulli numbers.

Main theorems

• sum_bernoulli: The sum of the $k^\mathrm{th}$ Bernoulli polynomial with binomial coefficients up to n is (n + 1) * X^n.
