On sums of powers of natural numbers
Published 2 Nov 2024 in math.GM | (2411.11859v1)
Abstract: The problem of finding the sum of a polynomial's values is considered. In particular, for any $n\geq 3$, the explicit formula for the sum of the $n$th powers of natural numbers $S_n=\sum_{x=1}{m}x{n}$ is proved: $$\sum_{x=1}{m}x{n}=(-1){n}m(m+1)(-\frac{1}{2}+\sum_{i=2}{n}a_i(m+2)(m+3)...(m+i)),$$ here $a_i=\frac{1}{i+1}\sum_{k=1}{i}\frac{(-1){k}k{n}}{k!(i-k)!}$, $(i=2,3,...,n-1)$, $a_n=\frac{(-1)n}{n+1}$. Note that this formula does not contain Bernoulli numbers.
