Introduction Let p be a fixed odd prime number. Throughout this paper, Zp, Qp, C, and Cp will, respectively, denote the ring of p-adic rational integers, the field of p-adic rational numbers, the complex number field and the p-adic completion of the algebraic closure of Qp.Letνp be the normalized ν p exponential valuation of Cp with |p|p p p 1/p. When one talks of q-extension, q is variously considered as an indeterminate, a complex number q ∈ C,orap-adic number q ∈ Cp. If q ∈ C, one normally assumes |q| < 1. If q ∈ Cp, then we assume that |1 − q|p < 1, see 1–6. In C, the ordinary Euler polynomials are defined as ∞ tn 2 ext E x , |t| <π. et n n 1.1 1 n0 ! x ,E E δ In the case 0 n 0 n are called Euler numbers, see 1–13 .Let 0,n be the Kronecker symbol. From 1.1 we derive the following relation: E , E n E δ ,n∈ N, 0 1 1 n 2 0,n 1.2 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis n cf. 7–13.

The first few Genocchi numbers for even integers are −1, 1, −3, 17, −155, 2073,....The first few prime Genocchi numbers are −3 and 17, which occur at n 6 and 8. There are no others with n<105. We now define the Genocchi polynomials as follows: t ∞ tn 2 ext G x , |t| <π. et n n 1.5 1 n0 ! Thus, we note that n n G x G xn−l. n l l 1.6 l0 x In this paper, we use the following notations: xq 1 − q /1 − q and x−q 1 x −q /1 q.LetUDZp be the space of uniformly differentiable functions on Zp.Forf ∈ UDZp,thep-adic q-deformed fermionic integral on Zp is defined as N p−1 1 x I−qf fxdμ−qx lim fx−q , 1.7 N→∞ pN Zp q x0 see 1–4. The fermionic p-adic invariant integral on Zp can be obtained as q → 1. That is, I− flim I−qf fxdμ− x. 1.8 1 q→ 1 1 Zp From 1.8, we easily derive the following integral equation related to fermionic invariant p- adic integral on Zp: I f I f f , −1 1 −1 2 0 1.9 f xfx where 1 1 , see 5 . The purpose of this paper is to present a systemic study of some families of multiple Genocchi numbers and polynomials by using the fermionic multivariate p-adic invariant integral on Zp. In addition, we will investigate some interesting identities related to Genocchi numbers and polynomials. L. Jang and T. Kim 3 2.
