Faulhaber's formula, Bernoulli numbers and the equation $f(x)+x^k=f(x+1)$ (2403.00760v1)

Published 1 Mar 2024 in math.NT, math.CO, and math.HO

Abstract: In modern usage the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials follow Euler's approach and are defined using generating functions. We consider the functional equation $f(x)+xk=f(x+1)$ and show that a solution can be derived from Faulhaber's formula for the sum of powers. We show how these solutions provide a characterization of Bernoulli numbers and related results.
