CARLITZ Due University, Durham, NC INTRODUCTION The Stirling numbers of the first second ind can be defined by (.) () n = ( + ) ( + n - ) = ] T 5 (n, ) 9 j n (.2) n = ]T S(n 9 ).( - ) ( - + ), = o respectively. In [6], the writer has defined Weighted Stirling numbers of the first second ind, S (n 9 9 A) S(n 9 9 A ), by maing use of certain combinatorial properties of S (n 9 ) S(n 9 ). Numerous properties of the generalized quantities were obtained. The results are somewhat simpler for the related functions: ( R (n 9 9 A) =~S {n 9 +, X) + S (n 9 ) (.) I { R(n 9 9 X) = S(n 9 +, A) + S(n 9 ). In particular, the latter satisfy the recurrences, (.4) = R (n 9 s X) = R (n 9 -, X) + (n + A)i? (n, fc, A) the orthogonality relations (.5) i?(n, fe, A) = R(n 9 -, A) + ( + A)i?(n, fc, A ), n /?(n,, A) (-iy R (.j,, X) We have also the generating functions {~}) n -R {n,, X)RU,, A) = {J (" J. j = d.6) J T E ^ I ^ ni n = li = > ) y = ( - y \-y

(.2), we have n (-9) (X + z/) n = i? ( n, > \)y 7< = n (-) y n = (-l) n "*i?(n,.fc, X)(z/ + \). = It is well nown that the numbers S (n 9 n-) 9 S(n 5 n-) are polynomials in n of degree 2, In [4] it is proved that S (.n, n - ) = > <fc, J)( n + / fe X ) (.) < j=± i - S(n 9 n v=±b(,d n+ i - i \ - where B ( 9 j) s B( 9 j) are independent of n 9 X (>l) 9 (.2) B^, J) = S( 9 - j + ), ( <.

For references to (.), see [2], [7]. One of the principal objectives of the present paper is to generalize (.). The generalized functions R (n 9 n - 9 \) 9 R(n 9 n- 9 X) are also polynomials in n of degree 2. We show that R^n, n - 9 X) = X X (, J\ X > ( n 2 V ) = ^ (.4) < / p \ R{n 9 n - 9 X) = X B ^ ^» X) l 2 J j - o ^ where B { 9 J, X), B(fc, j, X) are independent of n 9 (.5) B ( 9 j 9 X) = B( 9 - j, - X), ( <_ j < ).

In the net place, we show that (/?(«, n -, X) = (l)b ( - n+) (X) (.7) < (/?(«, n - t W = f " J " ^ " ^ ( l - X), (7c) where B (X) is the Bernoulli polynomial of higher order defined by [8 9 Ch. 6]: IX^fH^p"- We remar that (.7) can be used to give a simple proof of (.6). For the special case of Stirling numbers, see [2], It is easily verified that 9 for X =, (.7) reduces to wellnown representations [8, Ch. 6] of S(n 9 n - ) S (n s n - ). In view of the formulas (for notation references see []), fc-i A) (.8) \ \ i t is of interest to define coefficients R f ( s j $ X) R^( s j s X) by means R(n 9 n - fe, A) = > f ( s J, ^)( 2 fc W - j ) (.9) ^ \ = ^ ( n, n - 9 X) - ^ ^ ( f c, j, X) (^2 \ j - o Each coefficient Is a polynomial in X of degree 2 has properties generalizing those of S f ( 9 j) S*( s j ).

REPRESENTATIONS OF R(n, n - 9 \) As a special case of a more general result proved in [5], if f() is an arbitrary polynomial of degree <m 9 then there is a unique representation in the form m-l /, «\ (2.D /(*> = >, m \ J = where the a are independent of» Thus s since R(n s n - 9 X) is a polynomial in n of degree 2 9 we may put 9 for _> l s X (2.2) R(n 9 n - fc, X) = ^S(?c } j\ M* z)> where the coefficients 5(fc 9 j, X) are independent of n, By (.4) 5 we have 9 for >, (2.) R(n +, n - +, X) = (n - & + + X)i?(n, n - fc +, X) Thus, (2.2) y i e l d s + R(n 9 n - 9 X). 2,. \ 2-2 >(fc, j, X) 2V- J l) = <«- * + + *> 2>(fc -, J, X)g, _ J 2).

We shall now compute the first few values of B( 9 j 5 X). To begin with we have the following values of R(n 9 n - 9 X). Clearly, R(n 9 n 9 X) =. Then, by (2.), with =, we have It follows that R(n +, n 9 X) - R(n 9 n - \ 9 X) = n + X. (2.5) i?(n, w -, X) (»)+».

Net, taing = 2 in (2.), R(n +, n -, X) - R(n 9 n - 2, X) we find that (2.6) R(n 9 n - 2, X) (n - + X)i?(n, n -, X), (fl+ghg)** *- <«^>- A little computation gives the following table of values: Bi, j, A) > < 2 - X X 2 ( - X ) 2 + X - 2X 2 X 2 ( - X ) 8 + 7X - 2X 2 + X + 4X + 6X 2 - X X The last line was computed by using the recurrence (2.4). Note that the sum of the entries in each row above is independent of X. This is in fact true generally. By (2.2), this is equivalent to saying that the coefficient of the highest power of X in R(n 9 n - 9 X) is independent of X. To prove this, put R(n, n - 9 X) = a n 2 + an 2^" +. Then R(n +, n - +, X) - R(n 9 n - 9 X) Thus, by (2.), 2a. Therefore, (2.7) = a ((n + l) 2 - n 2 ) + a fe ((n + l ) 2 * " - n 2 ^ ) +... = 2a n Y,B{ 9 j, X) j=o z _. Since a = %, we get ^ = y- 2(2-2) l (2) \ 2 \ (2 - ). This can also be proved by induction using (2.4). However, the significant result implied by the table together with the recurrence (2.4) is that (2.8) B( 9 J, X) =, (j > ). Hence, (2.2) reduces to (2.9) R(n 9 n - 9 X) = B( 9 j, A)( n ~t J ). It follows from (2.9) that the polynomial < n <. R(n 9 n - 9 X) vanishes for

As in the previous section, we shall compute the first few values of B (» j\ X). To begin with, we have R (n 9 n, X) =. Then by (.2), with =, we have R (n + 5 n 9 X) - R (n, n -, X) = n + X, so that (.4) fl^n, n -, X) = ( 2 ) Net, t a i n g fc = 2 in (. 2 ), I t follows + n i? r (n +, n -, A) - i?!(w, n - 2, X) = (n + X)i?

Moreover, (.7) B ( 9 j, X) =, (j > ), so that (.) becomes (.8) R (n 9 n -, X) = J^B^, * vl? 2^\ Thus, the polynomial R Y (n 9 n -, X) vanishes for <_n <..

(4.4) In particular, We recall that B ( 9, X) = B( X) = ( - X) ^(, 9 X) = 5(,, - X) = (X). (4.5) R(n 9, 9 ) = 5(n, ), R(n 9, ) = 5(n +, + )

Moreover, for X =, (4.) reduces to by (4.8) (4.9), this becomes.j-i B (, j, ) = B( 9 - j, ); B ( 9 j + ) = B( 9 - j ), which is correct. For X =, (4.) reduces to by (4.7) (4.), this becomes as epected. B ( 9 J, ) = B( 5 - j, ); B ( 9 j) = B( 9 - j + ) 5.
