Compositional Bernoulli numbers (Q1038579)

The authors introduce some generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. For example, let \(f \in \mathbb{Q}[[x]]\) and \(N \geq 1\) be such that \(f_N=1\). Bernoulli polynomials are defined by \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty B_{N,n}^f(x)\frac{z^n}{n!}=\frac{f(xz)(z^N/N!)}{f(z)-\pi_N(f)(z)}. \] They discuss some properties of these generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.
