The multiplication formulas for the Apostol-Genocchi polynomials (Q2839675)

The generalized Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials satisfy beautiful multiplication formulae akin to Raabe's original formula for the integral of the Gamma function. In this paper, the author proves a multinomial identity for the so-called higher order Apostol-Genocchi polynomials and deduces multiplication formulae. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFrom these multiplication formulae, the author obtains explicit expressions for \(\lambda\)-multiple alternating sums NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\lambda 1^k - \lambda^2 2^k + \lambda^3 3^k - \dots + (-1)^{m+1} \lambda^m m^kNEWLINE\]NEWLINE similar to the expression for the sum of \(k\)-th powers of the first \(m\) positive integers in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials.
