2 unusual facts about Faulhaber's formula


Savitzky–Golay filter

The summations in the matrix JTJ can be evaluated in closed form,

Sums of powers

Faulhaber's formula expresses 1^k + 2^k + 3^k + \cdots + n^k as a polynomial in n.


Dobinski's formula

The number on both sides of the formula has come to be called the nth Bell number Bn, after the later work of Eric Temple Bell.

Giambelli's formula

In mathematics, Giambelli's formula, named after Giovanni Giambelli, expresses Schubert classes in terms of special Schubert classes, or Schur functions in terms of complete symmetric functions.

Jensen's formula

which is the Poisson formula for the harmonic function f(z)|.

Johann Faulhaber

Donald Knuth suggests he is the first to crack the code: (the task of cracking the code is relatively easy with modern computers) and shows that Faulhaber had the correct formulae up to k = 23, but his formulae for k = 24 and k = 25 appear to be wrong.

Jose Luis Ramos Escobar

A new English language production premiered in New York on September 9, 2010, produced by IATI Theatre and World Player's Inc., directed by Jorge Merced, featuring Luciana Faulhaber and Javier E. Gómez.

Kirchhoff's theorem

Cayley's formula follows from Kirchhoff's theorem as a special case, since every vector with 1 in one place, −1 in another place, and 0 elsewhere is an eigenvector of the Laplacian matrix of the complete graph, with the corresponding eigenvalue being n.

It is a generalization of Cayley's formula which provides the number of spanning trees in a complete graph.

Markus Faulhaber

Markus Faulhaber was born on 22 July 1914 in Zepfenhan (Rottweil), near Schömberg, Zollernalbkreis, Württemberg.

Pseudoforest

André Joyal used this fact to provide a bijective proof of Cayley's formula, that the number of undirected trees on n nodes is nn − 2, by finding a bijection between maximal directed pseudoforests and undirected trees with two distinguished nodes.

Serial offender hunting patterns

Criminologist D. Kim Rossmo created the “Rossmo Formula” to explain his ideas on serial offenders and geographic profiling to determine where criminals lived and why specific locations were chosen as places to commit crimes.
