Some Finite Summation Identities Comprising Binomial Coefficients for Integrals of the Bernstein Polynomials and Their Applications

Abstract

Certain finite sums, including the Catalan numbers, factorial functions, binomial coefficients, and their computational formulas are of indispensable importance both in probability and statistics applications and in other branches of science. The primary aim of this article is to give the integral representation of the finite sum containing the products of the Bernstein polynomials, given in our article, by applying the Beta function and the Euler gamma functions. Other aims of this paper are to bring to light novel finite sum formulae containing binomial coefficients by analyzing and unifying this integral representation. Finally, some relations among these sums, binomial coefficients, and the Catalan numbers are given. We also give the Wolfram language codes. By applying these codes to the finite sums, we give some numerical values.
