On some properties of polycosecant numbers and polycotangent numbers
Abstract
Polycosecant numbers and polycotangent numbers are introduced as level two analogues of poly-Bernoulli numbers. It is shown that polycosecant numbers and polycotangent numbers satisfy many formulas similar to those of poly-Bernoulli numbers. However, there is much unknown about polycotangent numbers. For example, the zeta function interpolating them at non-positive integers has not yet been constructed. In this paper, we show some algebraic properties of polycosecant numbers and polycotangent numbers. Also, we generalize duality formulas for polycosecant numbers which essentially include those for polycotangent numbers.
