On Two Applications of Herschel's Theorem
Abstract
As a first application of a very old theorem, known as Herschel's theorem, we provide direct elementary proofs of several explicit expressions for some numbers and polynomials that are known in combinatorics. The second application deals with the analytical continuation of the polylogarithmic function of complex argument beyond the circle of convergence.
