This paper is concerned with both kinds of the Cauchy numbers and their generalizations. Taking into account Mellin derivative, we relate p-Cauchy numbers of the second kind with shifted Cauchy numbers of the first kind, which yields new explicit formulas for the Cauchy numbers of the both kind. We introduce a generalization of the Cauchy numbers and investigate several properties, including recurrence relations, convolution identities and generating functions. In particular, these results give rise to new identities for Cauchy numbers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, using geometric polynomials, we obtain a generating function of p-Bernoulli numbers in terms of harmonic numbers. As consequences of this generating function, we derive closed formulas for the finite summation of Bernoulli and harmonic numbers involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. We also give a relationship between the p-Bernoulli numbers and the generalized Bernoulli polynomials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
