Lima fabio@fis.unb.br 1 Institute of Physics, University of Brasília, P.O. Box 04455, 70919-970, Brasília-DF, Brazil In this note, starting with a little-known result of Kuo, I derive a recurrence relation for the Bernoulli numbers B2n , n being a positive integer. This formula is shown to be advantageous in comparison to other known formulae for the exact symbolic computation of B2n. Interestingly, it is suitable for large values of n since it allows the computation of both B4n and B4n+2 from only B0, B2, ..., B2n. http://pubs.sciepub.com/tjant/6/2/3/tjant-6-2-3.pdf Bernoulli numbers recurrence relations Riemann zeta function
