Abstract:
Relying on a recurrence relation for the hypersums of powers of
integers put forward recently, we develop an iterative procedure which
allows us to express a hypersum of arbitrary order in terms of ordinary
(zeroth order) power sums. Then, we derive the coefficients of the
hypersum polynomial as a function of the Bernoulli numbers and the
Stirling numbers of the first kind.
