We develop methods for computing the product of several Bernoulli and Euler polynomials by using Bernoulli basis for the vector space of polynomials of degree less than or equal ton.
1. Introduction
It is well known that, thenth Bernoulli and Euler numbers are defined by

ElEn2δ0,n, 1.1
whereB0 E01 andδk,nis the Kronecker symbolsee1–20.
The Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are also defined by
Bnx n

Note that{B0x, B11, . . . , Bnx}forms a basis for the spacePn {px∈Qx|degpx≤
So, for a givenpx∈Pn, we can write

Probably,{1, x, . . . , xn}is the most natural basis for the spacePn. But{B0x, B1x, . . . , Bnx}
is also a good basis for the space Pn, for our purpose of arithmetical and combinatorial
applications.
What are common to Bnx, Enx, xn? A few proportion common to them are as
follows:
