Sums of products of Kronecker's double series (Q958655)

The Kronecker double series \(B_{m}(x',x;\tau)\), which is defined via the Jacobi theta function, is considered as an elliptic generalization of the periodic Bernoulli function. In this paper, the author establishes a closed formula for sums of products of \(B_{m}(x',x;\tau)\) of the form \[ \sum_{j_1,\dots,j_N\geq 0 \atop (j_1+\cdots+j_N=n)} \binom{n}{j_1,\dots,j_N}B_{j_1}(x'_1,x_1;\tau)\cdots B_{j_N}(x'_N,x_N;\tau), \] where \(\binom{n}{j_1,\dots,j_N}\) is the multinomial coefficient. As corollaries, from the fact that \(B_{m}(x)\) can be essentially obtained as a limit \(\tau\to i\infty\) of \(B_{m}(x',x;\tau)\), the author reproduces Dilcher's results concerning sums of products of the Bernoulli number \(B_m\) and polynomial \(B_{m}(x)\) of the above forms. Furthermore, the corresponding results for sums of products of an elliptic Euler function \(E_{m}(x',x;\tau)\), which can be regarded as an elliptic generalization of the periodic Euler function defined by Carlitz, are obtained by the similar manner. These also reproduce Dilcher's results concerning sums of products of the Euler number \(E_m\) and polynomial \(E_{m}(x)\) of the above forms.
