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 0ext−1 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
