Abstract
In this paper, we introduce new class of Bell-based Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials and investigate some properties of these polynomials. We derive some explicit and implicit summation formulas and their symmetric identities by using different analytical means and applying generating functions of generalized Apostol-type Frobenius-Euler polynomials and Bell-based Apostol-type Frobenius-Euler polynomials. In particular, parametric kinds of the Bell-based Apostol-type Frobenius-Euler polynomials are introduced and some of their algebraic and analytical properties are established. In addition, illustrative examples of these families of polynomials are shown, focusing on their numerical values and piloting some beautiful computer-aided graphs of them.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, an increasing number of authors [1,2,3,4] have considered the use of generating functions method in order to introduce new families of special polynomials, including two parametric kinds of polynomials, such as Bernoulli, Euler, Genocchi, etc.
With a such work methodology, it is possible to establish novel properties for these families of polynomials, which include relations between trigonometric functions, as well as parametric kinds of special polynomials. By applying the partial derivative operator to the generating functions involved, it is possible to deduce some derivative formulae, and finite combinatorial sums related with aforementioned polynomials and their associated numbers. Moreover, these special polynomials allow for the derivation of different useful identities in a fairly straightforward way. The so-called Apostol-type Frobenius-Euler polynomials appear in combinatorial mathematics and play an important role in the theory and applications of mathematics, leading to a great number of theories; combinatorics experts have extensively studied their properties, obtaining a series of interesting results (cf., e.g., [5,6,7,8,9,10] and the references therein).
