Abstract

This paper considers generalized Bernoulli and exponential functions in the context of factorials formed from the elements of divisibility sequences as in the calculus of sequences of Jackson and Ward. The results for the ordinary integers readily follow. Suggestions for further relevant research with commutative diagrams are included.
