The Euler polynomials $E_n(x)$ are orthogonal polynomials defined by $$E_n(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} \dfrac{e_k}{2^k} \left( x - \dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{n-k},$$ where $e_k$ denotes an Euler number.

  • $E_0(x)=1$
  • $E_1(x)=x-\dfrac{1}{2}$
  • $E_2(x)=x^2-x$
  • $E_3(x)=x^3-\dfrac{3}{2}x^2+\dfrac{1}{4}$
  • $E_4(x)=x^4-2x^3+x$

Properties

Theorem

The following formula holds for $|z|<\pi$: $$\dfrac{2e^{xt}}{e^t+1} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{E_n(x)t^n}{n!},$$ where $e^{xt}$ denotes the exponential function and $E_n$ denotes an Euler E polynomial.

Proof
