In this paper, we give relationship between Bernoulli-Euler polynomials and convolution sums of divisor functions. First, we establish two explicit formulas for certain combinatoric convolution sums of divisor functions derived from Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Second, as applications, we show five identities concerning the third and fourth-order convolution sums of divisor functions expressed by their divisor functions and linear combination of Bernoulli or Euler polynomials.

It is known that certain convolution sums can be expressed as a combination of divisor functions and Bernoulli formula. In this article, we consider relationship between fifth-order combinatoric convolution sums of divisor functions and Bernoulli polynomials. As applications of these identities, we give a concrete interpretation in terms of the procedural modeling method.

We study a generalization of the classical Pentagonal Number Theorem and its applications. We derive new identities for certain infinite series, recurrence relations and convolution sums for certain restricted partitions and divisor sums. We also derive new identities for Bell polynomials.

In this paper, we study combinatoric convolution sums of divisor functions and get values of this sum when $n=2^mp$. We find that the value of this convolution sum is represented by a sum of powers of 2 and Bernoulli or Euler number.

Using the theory of combinatoric convolution sums, we establish some arithmetic identities involving Liouville functions and restricted divisor functions. We also prove some relations involving restricted divisor functions and Stirling numbers of the first kind for divisor functions.

In order to model a variety of natural trees that are appropriate to outdoor terrains consisting of multiple trees, this study proposes a modeling method of new growth rules(based on the convolution sums of divisor functions). Basically, this method uses an existing growth-volume based algorithm for efficient management of the branches and leaves that constitute a tree, as well as natural propagation of branches. The main features of this paper is to introduce the theory of convolution sums of divisor functions that is naturally expressed the growth or fate of branches and leaves at each growth step. Based on this, a method of modeling various tree is proposed to minimize user control through a number of divisor functions having generalized generation functions and modification of the growth rule. This modeling method is characterized by its consideration of both branches and leaves as well as its advantage of having a greater effect on the construction of an outdoor terrain composed of multiple trees. Natural and varied tree model creation through the proposed method was conducted, and using this, the possibility of constructing a wide nature terrain and the efficiency of the process for configuring multiple trees were evaluated experimentally.

We consider Weierstrass functions and divisor functions arising from $q$-series. Using these we can obtain new identities for divisor functions. Farkas [3] provided a relation between the sums of divisors satisfying congruence conditions and the sums of numbers of divisors satisfying congruence conditions. In the proof he took logarithmic derivative to theta functions and used the heat equation. In this note, however, we obtain a similar result by differentiating further. For any $n{\geq}1$, we have $$k{\cdot}{\tau}_{2;k,l}(n)=2n{\cdot}E_{\frac{k-l}{2}}(n;k)+l{\cdot}{\tau}_{1;k,l}(n)+2k{\cdot}{\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}}E_{\frac{k-1}{2}(j;k){\tau}_{1;k,l}(n-j)$$. Finally, we shall give a table for $E_1(N;3)$, ${\sigma}(N)$, ${\tau}_{1;3,1}(N)$ and ${\tau}_{2;3,1}(N)$ ($1{\leq}N{\leq}50$) and state simulation results for them.
