Abstract

In this paper, we investigate some properties of q-Bernoulli polynomials arising from q-umbral calculus. We find a formula for expressing any polynomial as a linear combination of q-Bernoulli polynomials with explicit coefficients. Also, we establish some connections between q-Bernoulli polynomials and higher-order q-Bernoulli polynomials.
