Overview

Euler numbers, which are also called secant numbers or 'zig' numbers are defined for $|z| <\pi/2$ by

$sech(x) - 1 \equiv -\frac{E_1^* z^2}{2!} +\frac{E_2^* z^4}{4!} -\frac{E_3^* z^6}{6!}$

(1)

The Euler number give the number of odd alternating permutations and are related to Genocchi numbers.

A slightly different convention, which is also used here, defines

$E_{2n} = (-1)^n E_n^*$

(2)

$E_{2n+1} = 0$

(3)

Thus, the Euler numbers $E_n$ and polynomials $E_n(x)$ are defined through equations

$sech(x) = \frac{2{E^z}}{{E^{2z}}+1} = \sum _{n=0}^{\infty}{E_n}\frac{{z^n}}{n!}, |z|< \frac{\pi }{2}$

(4)

$\frac{2 E^{xz} }{{E^z}+1} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty }{E_n}(x)\frac{{z^n}}{n!}, |z| \pi$

(5)

The relation between Euler polynomials and numbers:

${E_n} = {2^n}{E_n}\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)$

EulerA

voidEulerA(	int	`iMax`
	double*	`daEuler`	)

Calculates Euler numbers using the recurrent relation

${E_{2n}} = -\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}\big(\begin{array}{c} 2n \\ 2r \end{array}\big){E_{2r}}, {e_0}=1$

(7)

${E_{2n+1}}=0, n=0,1,2,...$

Example 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/maths/discrete/number_theory/euler.h>
 
#define MAX_INDEX 16
int main()
{
  double dEulerA[MAX_INDEX+1];
  double dEulerB[MAX_INDEX+1];
 
  // Table headings
  printf( "%10s %20s %20s\n", "2n", "E_A(2n) (recurrent)", "E_B(2n) (series)" );
  printf( "%8s", " " );
  for( int i = 0; i < 52; i++ )
    printf( "%c", '-' );
  printf( "\n" );
 
  // array calculation
  Maths::NumberTheory::EulerA( MAX_INDEX, dEulerA );
  Maths::NumberTheory::EulerB( MAX_INDEX, dEulerB );
 
  // results output
  for( int i = 0; i <= MAX_INDEX; i+=2 )
    printf( "%10d %20.6f %20.6f\n", i, dEulerA[i], dEulerB[i]);
  return 0;
}

Output:

2n  E_A(2n) (recurrent)     E_B(2n) (series)
