The main object of this paper is to give analogous definitions of Apostol type (see [T.M. Apostol, On the Lerch Zeta function, Pacific J. Math. 1 (1951) 161-167] and [H.M. Srivastava, Some formulas for the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials at rational arguments, Math. Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 129 (2000) 77-84]) for the so-called Apostol-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of higher order.We establish their elementary properties, derive several explicit representations for them in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function and the Hurwitz (or generalized) Zeta function, and deduce their special cases and applications which are shown here to lead to the corresponding results for the classical Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of higher order.  2005 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract. We investigate Fourier expansions for the Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials using the Lipschitz summation formula and obtain their integral representations. We give some explicit formulas at rational arguments for these polynomials in terms of the Hurwitz zeta function. We also derive the integral representations for the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and related known results.
