Combinatorics of poly-Bernoulli numbers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The mathbbBn(k) poly-Bernoulli numbers --- a natural generalization of classical Bernoulli numbers (Bn=mathbbBn(1)) --- were introduced by Kaneko in 1997. When the parameter k is negative then mathbbBn(k) is a nonnegative number. Brewbaker was the first to give combinatorial interpretation of these numbers. He proved that mathbbBn(k) counts the so called lonesum 0ext1 matrices of size nimesk. Several other interpretations were pointed out. We survey these and give new ones. Our new interpretation, for example, gives a transparent, combinatorial explanation of Kaneko's recursive formula for poly-Bernoulli numbers
