On Kummer-type congruences for derivatives of Barnes' multiple Bernoulli polynomials (Q5960993)

\textit{E. W. Barnes} [Trans. Camb. Philos. Soc. 19, 374-425 (1904; JFM 35.0462.01)] introduced a version of the multiple zeta function, and also a system of Bernoulli-type polynomials. The values of Barnes' zeta at negative integers are expressed via the first derivatives of the Bernoulli-Barnes polynomials (the above functions are functions of one complex variable depending on several parameters). The author shows that the first derivatives of the Bernoulli-Barnes polynomials satisfy congruences generalizing the classical Kummer congruences for the Bernoulli polynomials. An interpretation in terms of \(p\)-adic integrals is given.
