CLOSED FORMS FOR DEGENERATE BERNOULLI POLYNOMIALS

摘要

Qi and Chapman ['Two closed forms for the Bernoulli polynomials', J. Number Theory159 (2016), 89-100] gave a closed form expression for the Bernoulli polynomials as polynomials with coefficients involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. We extend the formula to the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, replacing the Stirling numbers by degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind.
