Abstract

We present a new generating function related to the 𝑞 -Bernoulli numbers and 𝑞 -Bernoulli polynomials. We give a new construction of these numbers and polynomials related to the second-kind Stirling numbers and 𝑞 -Bernstein polynomials. We also consider the generalized 𝑞 -Bernoulli polynomials attached to Dirichlet's character 𝜒 and have their generating function. We obtain distribution relations for the 𝑞 -Bernoulli polynomials and have some identities involving 𝑞 -Bernoulli numbers and polynomials related to the second kind Stirling numbers and 𝑞 -Bernstein polynomials. Finally, we derive the 𝑞 -extensions of zeta functions from the Mellin transformation of this generating function which interpolates the 𝑞 -Bernoulli polynomials at negative integers and is associated with 𝑞 -Bernstein polynomials.
