An extended version of Faulhaber's formula
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 19 (2016) no. 4
This paper presents an extended version of the well-known Faulhaber formula, which is used to compute the sum of the $m$-th powers of the first $n$ natural numbers, where $m$ and $n$ are two natural numbers. Our expression is analogous to Faulhaber's formula, but sums the $m$-th powers of the natural numbers $x$ for any non-negative real number $x$.
