The formula for the sums of powers of positive integers, given by Faulhaber in 1631, is proven by using trigonometric identities and some properties of the Bernoulli polynomials. Using trigonometric functions identities and generating functions for some well-known special numbers and polynomials, many novel formulas and relations including alternating sums of powers of positive integers, the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, the Euler polynomials and numbers, the Fubini numbers, the Stirling numbers, the tangent numbers are also given. Moreover, by applying the Riemann integral and p-adic integrals involving the fermionic p-adic integral and the Volkenborn integral, some new identities and combinatorial sums related to the aforementioned numbers and polynomials are derived. Furthermore, we serve up some revealing and historical remarks and observations on the results of this paper.

Let $$ S_{m,n}(q):=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1-q^{2k}}{1-q^2} \left(\frac{1-q^k}{1-q}\right)^{m-1}q^{\frac{m+1}{2}(n-k)}. $$ Generalizing the formulas of Warnaar and Schlosser, we prove that there exist polynomials $P_{m,k}(q)\in{\Bbb Z}[q]$ such that $$ S_{2m+1,n}(q) =\sum_{k=0}^{m}(-1)^kP_{m,k}(q) \frac{(1-q^n)^{m+1-k}(1-q^{n+1})^{m+1-k}q^{kn}} {(1-q^2)(1-q)^{2m-3k}\prod_{i=0}^{k}(1-q^{m+1-i})}, $$ and solve a problem raised by Schlosser. We also show that there is a similar formula for the following $q$-analogue of alternating sums of powers: $$ T_{m,n}(q):=\sum_{k=1}^{n}(-1)^{n-k} \left(\frac{1-q^k}{1-q}\right)^{m}q^{\frac{m}{2}(n-k)}. $$

In this chapter, we consider the Catalan numbers, C n = 1 n + 1 2 n n , and two of their generalizations, Catalan triangle numbers, B n , k and A n , k , for n , k ∈ N . They are combinatorial numbers and present interesting properties as recursive formulae, generating functions and combinatorial interpretations. We treat the moments of these Catalan triangle numbers, i.e., with the following sums: ∑ k = 1 n k m B n , k j , ∑ k = 1 n + 1 2 k − 1 m A n , k j , for j , n ∈ N and m ∈ N ∪ 0 . We present their closed expressions for some values of m and j . Alternating sums are also considered for particular powers. Other famous integer sequences are studied in Section 3, and its connection with Catalan triangle numbers are given in Section 4. Finally we conjecture some properties of divisibility of moments and alternating sums of powers in the last section.

We study on the sums of powers of consequtive integers and alternating sums of power of consequtive integers. We derive many identities and correlations including Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials and numbers.

Abstract For a Weyl group W of rank r, the W-Catalan number is the number of antichains of the poset of positive roots, and the W-Narayana numbers refine the W-Catalan number by keeping track of the cardinalities of these antichains. The W-Narayana numbers are symmetric – that is, the number of antichains of cardinality k is the same as the number of cardinality $r-k$ . However, this symmetry is far from obvious. Panyushev posed the problem of defining an involution on root poset antichains that exhibits the symmetry of the W-Narayana numbers. Rowmotion and rowvacuation are two related operators, defined as compositions of toggles, that give a dihedral action on the set of antichains of any ranked poset. Rowmotion acting on root posets has been the subject of a significant amount of research in the recent past. We prove that for the root posets of classical types, rowvacuation is Panyushev’s desired involution.
