Euler E
From specialfunctionswiki
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: $$E_n'(x)=nE_{n-1}(x);n=1,2,\ldots.$$
