On a combinatorial identity of Chaundy and Bullard

Published 1 May 2022 in math.GM | (2205.00480v1)

Abstract: We give two new proofs of the Chaundy-Bullard formula $$ (1-x){n+1} \sum_{k=0}m {n+k\choose k} xk +x{m+1}\sum_{k=0}n {m+k\choose k} (1-x)k=1 $$ and we prove the "twin formula" $$ \frac{ (1-x){(n+1)}}{(n+1)!} \sum_{k=0}m \frac{n+1}{n+k+1} \frac{ x{(k)}}{k!} + \frac{ x{(m+1)}}{(m+1)!} \sum_{k=0}n \frac{m+1}{m+k+1} \frac{ (1-x){(k)}}{k!}=1, $$ where $z{(n)}$ denotes the rising factorial. Moreover, we present identities involving the incomplete beta function and a certain combinatorial sum.
