FORMULA

Recurrence relation: bernoulli(n+1)=a[n+1]-sum(binomial(n+1, r)*bernoulli(r)*a[n+2-r], r=1..n+1); a[0]=1. (p. 603 of the Howard reference). - Deutsch - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jan 23 2005

E.g.f. for fractions: x^2/2 / (e^x-1-x). [From Franklin T. Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Nov 04 2009]

MAPLE

eq:=n->bernoulli(n+1)=a[n+1]-sum(binomial(n+1, r)*bernoulli(r)*a[n+2-r], r=1..n+1): a[0]:=1:for n from 0 to 28 do a[n+1]:=solve(eq(n), a[n+1]) od: seq(numer(a[n]), n=0..29); (Deutsch)
