Zagier in 1998 were recently extended to the polynomial case by replacing $B_{r}$ by the Bernoulli polynomials $B_{r}(x)$. Arithmetic properties of the coefficients of these polynomials are established. In particular, the 2-adic valuation of the modified Bernoulli numbers is determined. A variety of analytic, umbral, and asymptotic methods is used to analyze these polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-26T18:26:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "arithmetic properties", "zagier polynomials", "coefficients", "modified bernoulli numbers", "polynomial case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.6590C" } } }
