1. Introduction
The q-calculus, a generalization of ordinary calculus, was developed to study q-analogues of mathematical objects. It has a rich history dating back to the 19th century and has applications in fields like mechanics, physics, statistical mechanics, quantum groups and transcendental number theory. The q-series, a special case of the q-analogue, is significant in combinatorics, number theory, and particle physics.
The q-analogue of a complex number is given as (Andrews, Askey, & Roy, Citation1999): (1.1) (1.1)
The q-factorial is defined by and see Gasper and Rahman (Citation2004). Also, q-Pochhammer symbol is defined as : (1.2) (1.2)
The Gauss q-binomial coefficient is defined as (Andrews et al., Citation1999): (1.3) (1.3)
Jackson (Citation1903) introduced two q-analogs of the exponential function as: (1.4) (1.4) and (1.5) (1.5) respectively.
The relationship between the two q-exponential functions is given as: (1.6) (1.6)
Jackson (Citation1909) defined the q-difference operator as: (1.7) (1.7)
The q-product rule is defined as (1.8) (1.8)
It is important to notice that for these q-calculus conclusions reduce to their counterparts in ordinary calculus.
Modified Laguerre polynomials are a generalization of classical Laguerre polynomials, which are widely used in various fields of sciences, including physics, mathematics, and engineering. Louis Weisner’s group-theoretic method is a powerful tool for generating various single and multiple series of generating functions for particular modified Laguerre polynomials. This method has been employed by several authors to study the properties of modified Laguerre polynomials and their applications (see Chongdar & Majumdar, Citation1993; Singh & Bala, Citation1986; Sharma, Citation1990).
The modified Laguerre polynomials has received considerable attention in the literature, and it has been studied extensively by various authors (see Pathan & Khan, Citation2004; Pittaluga, Sacripante, & Srivastava, Citation2000; Srivastava & Manocha, Citation1984).
For, the q-modified Laguerre polynomials qMLP are defined by the subsequent generating function (Raza, Fadel, Umme Zainab, & Cao): (1.9) (1.9) and series definition (1.10) (1.10)
The q-Appell polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that generalize the Appell polynomials. These polynomials have been studied extensively by various mathematicians over the years. In 1954, Sharma and Chak (Citation1954) created a q-analogue of the Appell polynomials, which they called the q-harmonic sequence. Later in 1967, Al-Salam (Citation1967) established the q-Appell polynomials family and explored some of its properties. Al-Salam also studied the q-Bernoulli and q-Euler polynomials as specific members of the q-Appell family. In 1982, Srivastava (Citation1982) provided many characterizations of the prominent Appell polynomials and their fundamental analogues. Srivastava (Citation2011) also provided certain q-extensions of the Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials. In 1985, Roman (Citation1985) presented a method resembling the umbral technique under the non-classical category of umbral calculus, which is known as q-umbral calculus. This method has been used to study q-Appell, q-Bernoulli, and q-Euler polynomials extensively. Ernst (Citation2006, Citation2014) has also provided a comprehensive study of the q-Appell, q-Bernoulli, and q-Euler polynomials in the framework of q-umbral calculus. Overall, the study of q-Appell polynomials and related polynomials has led to many interesting results and applications in various areas of mathematics.
The following generating function is used to define the q-Appell polynomials sequence (Al-Salam, Citation1967): (1.11) (1.11)
The function may be called the determining function of the set of Appell polynomials, which is defined as (1.12) (1.12)
The q-Appell polynomials (of degree n) satisfy the following q-recurrence relation: (1.13) (1.13) where denotes the q-Appell numbers.
Depending on how the function is used, different members of the family of q-Appell polynomials like q-Bernoulli polynomials q-Euler polynomials and q-Genocchi polynomials are obtained. These representatives are listed in .
The generating function for the q-analogue of the 2D Appell polynomials is given as (Keleshteri & Mahmudov, Citation2015): (1.14) (1.14)
presents selection members of the 2D q-Appell polynomials.
Recently, various researcher have considered and investigated the generalized and hybrid type special polynomials, especially those are linked to q-Appell polynomials (see Bildirici, Acikgoz, & Araci, Citation2014; Cao, Huang, Fadel, & Arjika, Citation2023; Eweis & Mansour, Citation2022, Citation2023; Fadel, Raza, & Du, Citation2023; Ismail & Mansour, Citation2023; Khan & Nahid, Citation2018, Citation2019, Citation2022a, Citation2022b; Muhyi, Citation2022; Nahid & Choi, Citation2022; Nahid, Alam & Choi, Citation2023; Raza, Fadel, Nisar, & Zakarya, Citation2021; Riyasat & Khan, Citation2018; Riyasat, Khan, & Mahmudov, Citation2019; Riyasat, Khan, & Nahid, Citation2017; Riyasat, Nahid, & Khan, Citation2021; Srivastava, Khan, & Riyasat, Citation2019; Yasmin & Muhyi, Citation2019, Citation2020; Yasmin, Muhyi, & Araci, Citation2019).
This article is organized as: In Section 2, the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials are presented via a generating function and their features are investigated. In Section 3, some members of the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials are investigated and their generating functions and series definitions are also addressed. In Section 4, the class of 2D q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials is presented through the generating function and series definition. In Section 5, the graphical representations of certain members of the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell family are plotted for appropriate index values.
2. q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials
In this section, the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials are introduced by means of the generating function, series definition and determinant definition. Certain related identities are also used to develop some relations for these polynomials.
In order to create the generating function for the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell the following result must be proven:
Theorem 2.1.
The respective generating function and series definitions for the q-modified Laguerre-Appell polynomials are defined as: (2.1) (2.1) and (2.2) (2.2) where is defined in Equationequation (1.12)(1.12) (1.12) and is defined by Equationequation (1.9)(1.9) (1.9) .
Proof.
Expanding the exponential function on the left hand side of the Equationequation (1.11)(1.11) (1.11) , then substituting the powers of x i.e. with the appropriate polynomials in the right hand side of the resultant equation, we have (2.3) (2.3)
Furthermore, summing up the series in the left hand side and then using Equationequation (1.9)(1.9) (1.9) in the resultant equation, gives (2.4) (2.4)
Finally, denote the result of q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials on the right side of the preceding equation by then simplifying the resultant equation, we reach at assertion Equation(2.1)(2.1) (2.1) .
In view of Equationequations (1.9)(1.9) (1.9) and Equation(1.12)(1.12) (1.12) , and using the Cauchy product rule, Equationequation (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) can be written as
Upon comparing the coefficients of equal powers of t on both sides of the above equation, we reach at relation Equation(2.2)(2.2) (2.2) . □
Remark 2.1.
Since for the q-modified-Laguerre polynomials reduce to the modified Laguerre polynomials (Srivastava & Manocha, Citation1984). Therefore, for the q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials reduce to the modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials such that
Thus, taking in Equationequations (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) and Equation(2.2)(2.2) (2.2) , we get the following generating function and series definition for the modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials (2.5) (2.5) and respectively.
The determinant representations of many classical and hybrid special polynomials have been investigated by many researchers (see Eweis et al., 2023; Keleshteri & Mahmudov, Citation2015; Khan & Nahid, Citation2018; Riyasat et al., Citation2019). Here, the determinant definition for qMLAP is constructed.
Theorem 2.2.
The q-modified-Laguerre-Appell polynomials qMLAP of degree n are defined by (2.6) (2.6) (2.7) (2.7) where and are the q-modified-Laguerre polynomials of degree n.
Proof.
Consider to be the sequence of the qMLAP specified by Equationequation (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) and to be the sequences exist two numerical sequences in such a way that (2.8) (2.8) (2.9) (2.9) fulfilling (2.10) (2.10)
Therefore, applying the Cauchy product rule for the preceding equation, yields (2.11) (2.11) accordingly (2.12) (2.12)
Particularly (2.13) (2.13)
Next, multiplying both sides of Equationequation (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) by we get (2.14) (2.14)
Using Equationequations (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) , Equation(2.9)(2.9) (2.9) and Equation(2.12)(2.12) (2.12) , the preceding equation yields (2.15) (2.15)
When we apply the Cauchy product rule to the two series on the right-hand side of Equation(2.15)(2.15) (2.15) , we get the following infinite system for the unknowns (2.16) (2.16)
Clearly, the first equation of system Equation(2.16)(2.16) (2.16) , gives the first assertion Equation(2.6)(2.6) (2.6) .
The lower triangular coefficient matrix of system Equation(2.6)(2.6) (2.6) enables us to extract the unknowns by applying the Cramer rule to the first Equationequation (2.16)(2.16) (2.16) . Thus, we may conclude where which on expanding the determinant and taking the transpose of the determinant in the numerator, yields to (2.17) (2.17)
After n circular row exchanges, i.e. after changing the row to the location for the assertion Equation(2.7)(2.7) (2.7) is reached.
The determinant definition for the modified Laguerre-Appell polynomials can be found from Theorem 2.2 by taking
Corollary 2.1.
The modified Laguerre-Appell polynomials of degree n are defined by (2.18) (2.18) (2.19) (2.19)
Theorem 2.3.
The following identity for the qMLAP holds true: (2.20) (2.20)
Proof.
We obtain the needed findings by expanding the determinant in Equationequation (2.7)(2.7) (2.7) with respect to the row and using the same method as in Keleshteri and Mahmudov (Citation2015). □
Taking from Theorem 2.3, we get the following result for modified Laguerre-Appell polynomials
Corollary 2.2.
The following identity for MLAP holds true: (2.21) (2.21)

Proof.
Expanding the first exponential function in the left hand side of Equationequation (1.14)(1.14) (1.14) , then replacing the powers of x i.e. by the corresponding polynomials in the left hand side and x by in the right hand side of the resultant equation, we have (4.3) (4.3)
Now, summation up the series in the left hand side and then using Equationequation (2.1)(2.1) (2.1) in the resultant equation, gives: (4.4) (4.4)
If denoting the resultant of 2DqMLAP in the right hand side of the above equation by gives
Thus, the assertion Equation(4.1)(4.1) (4.1) is proved.
In view Equationequations (1.5)(1.5) (1.5) and Equation(2.1)(2.1) (2.1) then Equationequation (4.1)(4.1) (4.1) can be written as which on using the Cauchy product rule gives
Equating the coefficients of equal powers of t in the both sides of the above equation, gives assertion Equation(4.2)(4.2) (4.2) .□
Remark 4.1.
