The Bernoulli–Barnes polynomials are defined as a natural multidimensional extension of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. Many of the properties of the Bernoulli polynomials admit extensions to this new family. A specific expression involving the Bernoulli–Barnes polynomials has recently appeared in the context of self-dual sequences. The work presented here provides a proof of this self-duality using the symbolic calculus attached to Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. Several properties of the Bernoulli–Barnes polynomials are established by this procedure.
