1. Introduction
In 1991,
-calculus including
-number with two independent variables
p and
q, was first independently considered [
1,
2]. Throughout this paper, the sets of natural numbers, integers, real numbers and complex numbers are denoted by
and
, respectively.
For any
, the
-number is defined by the following:
which is a natural generalization of the
q-number. From Equation (1), we note that
.
Many physical and mathematical problems have led to the necessity of studying
-calculus. Since 1991, many mathematicians and physicists have developed
-calculus in several different research areas. For example, in 1994, [
3] introduced
-hypergeometric functions. Three years later, [
3,
4] derived related preliminary results by considering a more general
-hypergeometric series and Burban’s
-hypergeometric series, respectively. In 2005, based on the
-numbers, [
5] studied about
-hypergeometric series and discovered results corresponding to the
-extensions of known
q-identities. Moreover, [
6] established properties similar to the ordinary and
q-binomial coefficients after developing the
-hypergeometric series in 2008. About seven years later, [
7] introduced
-gamma and
-beta functions, which are generalizations of the gamma and beta functions.
The different variations of Bernoulli polynomials,
q-Bernoulli polynomials and
-Bernoulli polynomials are illustrated in the diagram below. Kim, Ryoo and many mathematicians have studied the first and second rows of the polynomials in the diagram (see [
8,
9,
10,
11,
12]). These studies began producing valuable results in areas related to number theory and combinatorics.
The main idea is to use property of
-numbers and combine
-trigonometric functions. From this idea, we construct
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. Investigating the various explicit identities for
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials in the diagram’s third row is the main goal of this paper.
Due to their importance, the classical Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials have been studied extensively and are well-known. Mathematicians have studied these polynomials through various mathematical applications including finite difference calculus,
p-adic analytic number theory, combinatorial analysis and number theory. Many mathematicians are familiar with the theorems and definitions of classical Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials. Based on the theorems and definitions, it is significant to study these properties in various ways by the combining with Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials. Mathematicians are studying the extended versions of these polynomials and are researching new polynomials by combining mathematics with other fields, such as physics or engineering (see [
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14]). The definition of Bernoulli polynomials combined with
-numbers follows:
Definition 1. The -Bernoulli numbers, , and polynomials, , can be expressed as follows (see [8]) In [
11], we confirmed the properties of
q-cosine and
q-sine Bernoulli polynomials. Their definitions and representative properties are as follows.
Definition 2. The q-cosine Bernoulli polynomials and q-sine Bernoulli polynomials are defined by the following: Theorem 1. For , we have the following: The main goal of this paper is to identify the properties of
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. In
Section 2, we review some definitions and theorem of
-calculus. In
Section 3, we introduce
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. Using the properties of exponential functions and trigonometric functions associated with
-numbers, we determine the various properties and identities of the polynomials.
Section 4 presents the investigation of the symmetric properties of
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials in different forms and based on the symmetric polynomials, we check the symmetric structure of the approximate roots.
2. Preliminaries

-analogues of hyperbolic functions and find several formulae (see [
3,
5,
17]).

In this section, we point out several symmetric identities of the -cosine and -Bernoulli polynomials. Using various forms that are made by a and b, we obtain a few desired results regarding the -cosine and -sine Bernoulli polynomials. Moreover, we discover other relations of different Bernoulli polynomials by considering certain conditions in theorems. We also find the symmetric structure of the approximate roots based on the symmetric polynomials.

Let us consider form
D containing
a and
b in the
-exponential functions as
From the above form

Corollary 19. Let and in Theorem 11. Then one holdswhere is the cosine Bernoulli polynomials and is the sine Bernoulli polynomials. Next, we investigate the structure of approximate roots in
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. Based on the theorems above,
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials have symmetric properties. Thus, we assume that the approximate roots of
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials also have symmetric properties as well. We aim to identify the stacking structure of the roots from the specific
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials found in
Section 3.
First, the structure of approximate roots in the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials is illustrated in
Figure 1 when
,
, and the value of
p changes.
Figure 1 reveals the pattern of the roots in the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials when
. In addition, the approximate roots appear when
n changes from 1 to 30. The red points become closer together when
n is 30 and
n becomes smaller as illustrated by the blue points. Based on the graphs with real and imaginary axes, the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials are symmetric.
Here, we aim to confirm that changes in the value of the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials changes the structure of the approximate roots as the value changes. The structure of the approximate roots in polynomials when
and
q changes, can be found in the
q-cosine Bernoulli polynomials (see [
11]).
Figure 2 below illustrates the stacking structure of the approximate roots of the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials fixed at
and
when
. Compared with
Figure 1,
Figure 2 displays a wider distribution of the approximate roots. The range of the left picture in
Figure 1 is
and the range of the left picture in
Figure 2 is
. The structure of the approximate roots of
when
is wider on the real axis compared to when
. The right-hand graphs in
Figure 1 and
Figure 2 also reveal the same distribution. In addition, as
n increases, the structure of the approximate roots appears symmetric.
Next, we examine the stacking structure of the approximate roots in the
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. The conditions are confirmed by equating them to the conditions of the
-cosine Bernoulli polynomials. The stacking structure of the approximate roots of the
-sine Bernoulli polynomials when
, and
can be checked in
Figure 3. At
, the distribution range of the approximate roots appears wider in the values on the real axis than in the imaginary axis, as shown in the left picture in
Figure 3.
Figure 3 reveals that, as the value of
n becomes larger, the approximate roots become more symmetric, and the approximate form approaches a circular shape, including the origin.
When we change the value of
p, the structure of the approximate roots of the
-sine Bernoulli polynomials when
under the same conditions as in
Figure 3 is presented in
Figure 4. In comparison with
Figure 3, the area of the real and the imaginary axes in
Figure 4 is greater, and the approximate roots have a wider distribution than observed in
Figure 3. This property is common in the approximate roots of the
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials. This indicates that, as the value of
p decreases, the approximate roots of the
-cosine and
-sine Bernoulli polynomials spread wider. In addition, as displayed in
Figure 4, the structure of the approximate roots of the
-sine Bernoulli polynomials is symmetric as the value of
n increases.
5. Conclusions and Future Directions
In this paper, we explained about the -cosine and -sine Bernoulli polynomials, their basic properties, and various symmetric properties. Based on the above contents, we identified the structures of the approximate roots of the -cosine and -sine Bernoulli polynomials. As a result, we observed that the above polynomials obtain a structure of approximate roots, which has certain patterns and has a symmetric property under the given circumstances.
Further study is needed regarding whether the structure of approximate roots for the -cosine and -sine Bernoulli polynomials have symmetric properties under different circumstances. Furthermore, we think researching theories related to this topic is important to mathematicians.
