Formulas involving Cauchy polynomials, Bernoulli polynomials, and generalized Stirling numbers

Abstract

In this paper, we derive novel formulas and identities connecting Cauchy numbers and polynomials with both ordinary and generalized Stirling numbers, binomial coefficients, central factorial numbers, Euler polynomials, $r$-Whitney numbers, and hyperharmonic polynomials, as well as Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. We also provide formulas for the higher-order derivatives of Cauchy polynomials and obtain corresponding formulas and identities for poly-Cauchy polynomials. Furthermore, we introduce a multiparameter framework for poly-Cauchy polynomials, unifying earlier generalizations like shifted poly-Cauchy numbers and polynomials with a $q$ parameter.
