Euler Polynomials and Combinatoric Convolution Sums of Divisor Functions with Even Indices by Daeyeoul Kim, Abdelmejid Bayad, Joongsoo Park

“…We study combinatoric convolution sums of certain divisor functions involving even indices. We express them as a linear combination of divisor functions and Euler polynomials and obtain identities D2k(n)=(1/4)σ2k+1,0(n;2)-2·42kσ2k+1(n/4)  -(1/2)[∑d|n,d≡1  (4){E2k(d)+E2k(d-1)}+22k∑d|n,d≡1  (2)E2k((d+(-1)(d-1)/2)/2)], U2k(p,q)=22k-2[-((p+q)/2)E2k((p+q)/2+1)+((q-p)/2)E2k((q-p)/2)-E2k((p+1)/2)-E2k((q+1)/2)+E2k+1((p+q)/2 +1)-E2k+1((q-p)/2)], and F2k(n)=(1/2){σ2k+1†(n)-σ2k†(n)}. …”
