The operator $\frac{D}{e^D-1}$ in definition of Bernoulli polynomials

I am trying to understand Bernoulli polynomials, and so I came across this abomination in the article: $$ B_n(x) = \frac{D}{e^D-1} x^n $$ where $D$ is the differentiation operator and the fraction is "expanded out as a formal power series" Since we…

Misunderstanding about Bernoulli-Euler relation?

It is well - known (and famous) that the identity \begin{align} E_{n - 1} \left( x \right) = \frac{2}{n}\left[ {B_n \left( x \right) - 2^n B_n \left( {\frac{1}{2}x} \right)} \right] \\ \end{align} holds for all $n \ge 1$ and $0 \le x \le 1$.…

Periodic Bernoulli polynomials

How do I integrate $$\int _0^T x^m B_1(\{ x\} ) dx$$, where $\{x\} $ denotes the fractional part of $x $? Integrating by parts should work, but I can't get anything to simplify in a particularly nice way so I can't work out how to make an induction…

Can we write $B_n(x)-B_n(0)=nx^{n-1}$?

Bernouli polynomials satisfies the relation $B_n(x+1)-B_n(x)=nx^{n-1}$. Can we write $B_n(x)-B_n(0)=nx^{n-1}$ or something like $B_{n+1}(x)-B_n(0)$ to be equal to $nx^{n-1}$? I mean I want to change the subscripts to be $B_{n+1}$ and $B_n$ instead…

Integrating periodic Bernoulli function

How to integrate functions involving periodic bernoulli function like $$\int_1^n\frac{-6}{x^4}P_{4}(x)dx$$ where $P_{4}(x) = B_{4}(x - \lfloor x \rfloor) \text{ is the 4th order periodic bernoulli function}$ ? Here's my attempt, please verify if…

Prove following statements concerning Bernoulli polynomials

Let $B_n(x)$ be the Bernoulli Polynomial. 1) Show for $n\neq 1$ is $B_n(1)=B_n(0) (=B_n)$. 2) Determine $B_1=B_1(0)$ and $B_1(1)$. I've already tried just to plug in the values in different kinds of Bernoulli Polynomial representations (with…

Prove Bernoulli Task

Prove for $\ n\ge100,n\ge50,n\ge49 \ $that the following is true: $$\ 101^{n}>100^{n}+99^{n} \ $$ Prove for $\ n\ge100,n\ge50,n\ge49 \ $ I know it’s somehow connected with Bernoulli; however, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this.
