Novel Identities of Bernoulli Polynomials Involving Closed Forms for Some Definite Integrals

Abstract

This paper presents new results of Bernoulli polynomials. New derivative expressions of some celebrated orthogonal polynomials and other polynomials are given in terms of Bernoulli polynomials. Hence, some new connection formulas between these polynomials and Bernoulli polynomials are also deduced. The linking coefficients involve hypergeometric functions of different arguments that can be summed in some cases. Formulas that express some celebrated numbers in terms of Bernoulli numbers are displayed. Based on the new connection formulas between different polynomials and Bernoulli polynomials, along with some well-known integrals involving these polynomials, new closed forms for some definite integrals are given.
