Show that $(B_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is the unique sequence of polynomials satisfying $$\begin{cases} B_{0} = 1 \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{*},\, B_{n}' = n B_{n-1} \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{*},\, \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} B_{n}(t)\,\mathrm{d}t = 0 \end{cases}$$
Let $(H_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be the sequence of polynomials defined by: $\forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, H_{n}(X) = (-1)^{n} B_{n}(1-X)$, where $(B_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ are the Bernoulli polynomials satisfying $$\begin{cases} B_{0} = 1 \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{*},\, B_{n}' = n B_{n-1} \\ \forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{*},\, \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} B_{n}(t)\,\mathrm{d}t = 0 \end{cases}$$ Show that for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $H_{n} = B_{n}$.
We propose to show by contradiction the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right).$$ We suppose that $\mathcal{P}$ is false. Show the existence of a sequence of natural integers $(n_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ and a sequence of complex numbers $(z_{p})_{p \in \mathbb{N}}$ such that: $$\mathrm{e}^{z_{p}} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \forall p \in \mathbb{N},\, |z_{p}| = (2n_{p}+1)\pi.$$
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $a_{p} = \operatorname{Re}(z_{p})$ and $b_{p} = \operatorname{Im}(z_{p})$. Show that $a_{p} \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$ and $|z_{p}| - |b_{p}| \underset{p \rightarrow +\infty}{\rightarrow} 0$.
We suppose that the property $\mathcal{P}$: $$\exists c > 0,\, \forall n \in \mathbb{N},\, \forall z \in \mathbb{C},\, \left(|z| = (2n+1)\pi \Rightarrow |\mathrm{e}^{z} - 1| \geqslant c\right)$$ is false, and let $(n_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, $(z_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$ be sequences such that $\mathrm{e}^{z_p} \to 1$ and $|z_p| = (2n_p+1)\pi$ for all $p$, with $a_p = \operatorname{Re}(z_p)$, $b_p = \operatorname{Im}(z_p)$. For all $p \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote $$\varepsilon_{p} = \begin{cases} +1 & \text{if } b_{p} \geqslant 0 \\ -1 & \text{if } b_{p} < 0 \end{cases}$$ By studying $\exp(z_{p} - \mathrm{i}\varepsilon_{p}|z_{p}|)$, reach a contradiction and conclude that $\mathcal{P}$ is true.

Problem 3
In the following, $z$ is a complex number and $i$ is the imaginary unit. Answer the following questions on the complex function
$$f ( z ) = \frac { \cot z } { z ^ { 2 } }$$
Here, $\cot z = \frac { 1 } { \tan z }$. For a positive integer $m$, we define
$$D _ { m } = \lim _ { z \rightarrow 0 } \frac { \mathrm {~d} ^ { m } } { \mathrm {~d} z ^ { m } } ( z \cot z )$$
If necessary, you may use $D _ { 2 } = - \frac { 2 } { 3 }$ and
$$\lim _ { z \rightarrow n \pi } \frac { z - n \pi } { \sin z } = ( - 1 ) ^ { n }$$
for an integer $n$.
I. Find all poles of $f ( z )$. Also, find the order of each pole.
II. Find the residue of each pole found in I.
III. Let $M$ be a positive integer and set $R = \pi ( 2 M + 1 )$. As shown in Fig.1, for a parameter $t$ that ranges in the interval $- \frac { R } { 2 } \leq t \leq \frac { R } { 2 }$, consider the following four line segments $C _ { k } ( k = 1,2,3,4 )$:
$$\begin{aligned} & C _ { 1 } : z ( t ) = \frac { R } { 2 } + i t \\ & C _ { 2 } : z ( t ) = - t + i \frac { R } { 2 } \\ & C _ { 3 } : z ( t ) = - \frac { R } { 2 } - i t \\ & C _ { 4 } : z ( t ) = t - i \frac { R } { 2 } \end{aligned}$$
The initial point of each line segment corresponds to $t = - \frac { R } { 2 }$ and the terminal point corresponds to $t = \frac { R } { 2 }$. For each complex integral $I _ { k } = \int _ { C _ { k } } f ( z ) \mathrm { d } z$ along $C _ { k } ( k = 1,2,3,4 )$, find $\lim _ { M \rightarrow \infty } I _ { k }$.
IV. Let $C$ be the closed loop composed of the four line segments $C _ { 1 } , C _ { 2 } , C _ { 3 }$, and $C _ { 4 }$ in III. By applying the residue theorem to the complex integral $I = \oint _ { C } f ( z ) \mathrm { d } z$ along the closed loop $C$, find the value of the following infinite series:
$$\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { 1 } { n ^ { 2 } }$$
V. $f ( z )$ is now replaced with the complex function
$$g ( z ) = \frac { \cot z } { z ^ { 2 N } }$$
where $N$ is a positive integer. By following the steps in I-IV, express the following infinite series in terms of $D _ { m }$:
$$\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { 1 } { n ^ { 2 N } }$$
