Derivation of computational formulas for Changhee polynomials and their functional and differential equations

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate many explicit computational formulas and relations involving the Changhee polynomials and numbers and their differential equations with the help of functional equations and partial derivative equations for generating functions of these polynomials and numbers. These formulas also include the Euler polynomials, the Stirling numbers, the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of the second kind, the Changhee polynomials of higher order, and the Daehee polynomials of higher order, which are among the well known polynomial families. By using PDEs of these generating functions, not only some recurrence relations for derivative formulas of the Changhee polynomials of higher order, but also two open problems for partial derivative equations for generating functions are given. Moreover, by using functional equations of the generating functions, two inequalities including combinatorial sums, the Changhee numbers of negative order, and the Stirling numbers of the second kind are provided. Finally, further remarks and observations for the results of this paper are given.


Introduction
Using generating functions, many kinds of partial differential equations (PDEs), ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and stochastic differential equation (SDEs), including boundary-value problems, initial-value problem, and discrete boundary-value problems have been studied and investigated. By using these equations many properties of the generating functions have been investigated. Recently, generating functions, their functional equations and their PDEs including special numbers and polynomials have been studied in many different areas. Because generating functions have many applications in mathematics, in physics, and in engineering (cf. ). In this paper, by using generating functions with their PDEs and functional functions, we investigate and study many new formulas and relations involving the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of the second kind, the Euler numbers and polynomials, the Stirling numbers, the Peters polynomials, the Boole polynomials and numbers, the Daehee numbers, and also the Changhee polynomials.
The following notations and definitions are used in this paper: Let N = {1, 2, 3, . . . } and N 0 = N ∪ {0}. Let Z, R, and C denote sets of integer numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers, respectively.
The falling and rising factorials functions, often used in the theory of the hypergeometric functions and partition theory, are defined as follows: (y) c = y(y -1)(y -2) · · · (yc + 1), and (y) c = (-1) c (-y) c = y(y + 1) · · · (y + c -1) where c ∈ N 0 (cf. ). We give some generating functions for some special polynomials and numbers as follows: The Euler polynomials of order k are defined by means of the following generating function: (cf. ). Substituting k = 1 into (1), we have the Euler polynomials: The derivatives of the Euler polynomials is given as follows: d n dx n E n (x) = nE n-1 (x) (cf. ). He and Ricci [7] gave the following differential equation for the Euler polynomials: 0 = e n-1 (n -1)! d n dx n E n (x) + e n-2 (n -2)! d n-1 dx n-1 E n (x) + · · · + e 1 1!
where e n = -n j=0 n j 2 -j E n-j 1 2 and n ∈ N. We note that Lu and Luo [23] gave a differential equation for the generalized Apostol-Euler polynomials.
The Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined by means of the following generating function: and (cf. ). The Stirling numbers of the second kind are defined by means of the following generating function: (cf. ). The Peters polynomials are defined by means of the following generating function: where x, t ∈ C (cf. ). Considering the work of the second author [32], we give the following relation between the Euler polynomials and Peters polynomials: Substituting t = e z -1 into (5), we have the following functional equation: Combining this functional equation with (1) and (5), we arrive at the following well-known result: Peters polynomials are well known to have generalizations of the following polynomials and numbers: The Boole polynomials and numbers, the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, the Euler polynomials and numbers, the Stirling numbers, the Changhee poly-nomials and numbers, and other well-known combinatorial polynomials and numbers (cf. [19,20,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]). For instance, substituting μ = 1 into (5), we have the Boole polynomials: ξ n (x) = s n (x; λ, 1) (cf. [8], [26, pp. 113-117]).
The Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind are defined by means of the following generating functions: and (cf. [26, pp. 113-117]). Substituting x = 0 into (7) or (8), we have the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind: b n = b n (0) (cf. [3,4,8], [26, pp. 113-117]). The Apostol-type Daehee numbers of higher order defined by means of the following generating function: (cf. [29], [30, Eq-(10a)]). By combining (2) and (9), we have After comparing the coefficients of t n n! on the both sides of the above equation, a relation between the Stirling numbers of the first kind and Apostol-type Daehee numbers of higher order is given as follows: Assuming that d is a positive integer. The Changhee polynomials of order d are defined by means of the following generating function: (cf. [15,16]). Substituting t = e z -1 into Eq. (11), we get the following functional equation: By using this equation, we get Combining the above equation with (4), we arrive at the following well-known identity: (cf. [16,Theorem 2.3]). Combining (6) and (12), we give a relation among the Peters polynomials, Changhee numbers of order d and the Stirling numbers of the second kind: Ch (d) n S 2 (m, n).
The Changhee polynomials of negative order are defined by means of the following generating function: where k is a positive integer (cf. [9]). Substituting x = 0 into (14), we have the Changhee numbers of negative order: By using Eq. (14), we have the following theorem.
Theorem 2 (cf. [9]) We summarize the results of this paper as follows: In Sect. 2, we gave computation formulas and combinatorial sums for the Changhee numbers and polynomials of negative order. By using these formulas, some numerical values of the Changhee numbers and polynomials of negative order are given.
In Sect. 3, we give partial derivative equations for generating functions of the Changhee polynomials of order d. By using these equations, we derive some derivative formulas, identities and recurrence relations including the Changhee polynomial, the Daehee numbers, the Stirling numbers and also two open problems.
In Sect. 4, we give integral formulas for the Changhee polynomials and the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind. By using these formulas, we give finite combinatorial sums.
In Sect. 5, by using generating functions and their derivative formulas, we derive some identities and relations for the Changhee polynomials.
Finally, this paper is completed with the Conclusion.

Thus, the proof of the theorem is completed.

Conclusions
As we emphasized in the introduction, generating functions for special numbers and polynomials with their derivative equations (PDEs, ODEs, and SDEs) and functional equations are the most important fields of quantum physics, mathematical physics, engineering and other applied sciences, especially mathematics. By using generating functions for special numbers and polynomials with their derivative equations (PDEs and ODEs) and functional equations, we give computations of many new formulas, relations, identities, and combinatorial sums involving the Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of the second kind, the Euler numbers and polynomials, the Stirling numbers, the Peters polynomials, the Boole polynomials and numbers, the Daehee numbers, and also the Changhee polynomials. By using partial derivative equations for generating functions of the Changhee polynomials, we give two open questions. Some special values of these questions are given. We also give some recurrence relations including the Changhee polynomial, the Daehee numbers, the Stirling numbers. Integral representations and integral formulas for the Changhee polynomials are given. Two inequalities including combinatorial sums, the Changhee numbers of negative order, and the Stirling numbers of the second kind are given. The interesting and new results given in this paper have the potential to be used in the main areas mentioned above, especially in mathematics.
