Abstract: We study the function series

s u m_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y p h i^{2 m + 2} e x t {c o s c h}^{2 m + 2} (n p h i / 2)

, and similar series, for integers

m

and complex

p h i

. This hyperbolic series is linearly related to the Lambert series. The Lambert series is known to satisfy a functional equation which defines the Ramanujan polynomials. By using residue theorem (summation theorem) we find the functional equation satisfied by this hyperbolic series. The functional equation identifies a class of polynomials which can be seen as a generalization of the Ramanujan polynomials. These polynomials coincide with the asymptotic expansion of the hyperbolic series at the origin and they all vanish for

p h i = p m 2 p i i

. We furthermore derive several identities between Harmonic numbers and ordinary and generalized Bernoulli polynomials.
