Abstract In this paper, we give some recurrence formula and new and interesting 732 Dae San Kim, Taekyun Kim and Sang-Hun Lee identities for the poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials which are derived from umbral calculus. 1 Introduction The classical polylogarithmic function Lis(x) are ∞ k x ∈ Lis(x)= s ,s Z, (see [3, 5]). (1) k=1 k In [5], poly-Bernoulli polynomials are defined by the generating function to be −t ∞ n Lik (1 − e ) (k) t ext = eB (x)t = B(k)(x) , (see [3, 5]), (2) − −t n 1 e n=0 n! (k) n (k) with the usual convention about replacing B (x) by Bn (x). As is well known, the Bernoulli polynomials of order r are defined by the generating function to be r ∞ t tn ext = B(r)(x) , (see [7, 9]).
