$$\underset{{i}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}{i}^{{k}} ={H}_{{n}} ^{\left(−{k}\right)} \\ $$$$\underset{{i}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\left({i}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{{k}} =\zeta\left(−{k}\right)\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{Re}\left({k}\right)+\mathrm{1}<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\underset{{i}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}\left({i}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{{k}} =\zeta\left(−{k}\right)−\zeta\left(−{k},\:{n}+\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$
