Abstract

The aim of this paper is to give construction and computation methods for generalized and unified representations of Stirling-type numbers and Bernoulli-type numbers and polynomials. Firstly, we define generalized and unified representations of the falling factorials. By using these new representations as components of the generating functions, we also construct generalized and unified representations of Stirling-type numbers. By making use of the symmetric polynomials, we give computational formulas and algorithm for these numbers. Applying Riemann integral to the unified falling factorials, we introduce new families of Bernoulli-type numbers and polynomials of the second kind by their computation formulas and plots drawn by the Wolfram programming language in Mathematica. Applying p-adic integrals to the unified falling factorials, we construct two new sequences that involve some well-known special numbers such as the Stirling numbers, the Bernoulli numbers and the Euler numbers. Finally, we give not only further remarks and observations, but also some open questions regarding the potential applications and relations of our results.
