“…These generalizations, in particular, give some symmetries for Stirling number series, and lead to a unified investigation of arithmetic and algebraic properties for poly-Bernoulli and poly-Cauchy numbers. Moreover since the multiple zeta values and the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta functions are closely related to poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, inverse binomial series and Bernoulli polynomial series (see [3,10,11,32,33]), the generalizations in this paper may lead to further investigations related to various zeta functions. One of the generalizations is inspired from the polylogarithm function.…”
