The difference table of the Euler polynomials evaluated at x=1:
1, 1/2, 0, -1/4, 0, 1/2, 0, -17/8, ...
-1/2, -1/2, -1/4, 1/4, 1/2, -1/2, -17/8, 17/8, ...
0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4; -1, -13/8, 17/4, 107/8, ...
1/4, 1/4, -1/4, -5/4, -5/8, 47/8, 73/8, -355/8, ...
0, -1/2, -1, 5/8 13/2, 13/4, -107/2, -655/8, ...
-1/2, -1/2, 13/8, 47/8, -13/4, -227/4, -227/8, 5687/8, ...
0, 17/8, 17/4, -73/8, -107/2, 227/8, 2957/4, 2957/8, ...
17/8, 17/8, -107/8, -355/8, 655/8, 5687/8, -2957/8, -107125/8, ...
To compute the difference table, take
1, 1/2;
-1/2;
The next term is always half of the sum of the antidiagonals. Hence (-1/2 + 1/2 = 0)
1, 1/2, 0;
-1/2, -1/2;
0;
The first column (inverse binomial transform) lists the numbers (1, -1/2, 0, 1/4, ..., not in the OEIS; corresponds to
A027641/
A027642). See
A209308 and
A060096.
Note the main diagonal: 1, -1/2, 1/2, -5/4, 13/2, -227/4, 2957/4, -107125/8, .... (See
A212196/
A181131.)
This twice the first upper diagonal. The autosequence is of the second kind.
From 0, -1, the algorithm gives
A226158(n), full Genocchi numbers, autosequence of the first kind.
The difference table of the Bernoulli polynomials evaluated at x=1 is (apart from signs)
A085737/
A085738 and its analysis by Ludwig Seidel was discussed in the Luschny link. -
