Abstract
In this paper, we propose to investigate the truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials and derive their various properties. In particular, we establish the operational correspondence between this new family of polynomials and the familiar Apostol-type polynomials. We also obtain some implicit summation formulas and symmetric identities by using their generating functions. The results, which we have derived here, provide generalizations of the corresponding known formulas including identities involving generalized Hermite-Bernoulli polynomials.

1. Introduction
Operational techniques involving differential operators, which is a consequence of the monomiality principle, provide efficient tools in the theory of conventional polynomial systems and their various generalizations. Steffensen [1] suggested the concept of poweroid, which happens to be behind the idea of monomiality. The principle of monomiality was subsequently reformulated and developed by Dattoli [2]. The strategy underlining this viewpoint is apparently simple, but the outcomes are remarkably deep.
In the theory of the monomiality principle, a polynomial set is quasi-monomial if there exist two operators and which are named the multiplicative and the derivative operators, respectively, are defined as follows:
together with the initial condition given by
The operators and satisfy the following commutation relation:
Thus, clearly, these operators display a Weyl group structure.
The properties of the polynomials can be deduced from those of the operators and . If and possess a differential character, then the polynomials satisfy the following differential equation:
The polynomial family can be explicitly constructed through the action of on as follows:
Just as in (1), we shall always assume that . In view of the above identity (4), the exponential generating function of can be written in the form:
We now introduce the truncated-exponential polynomials (see [3]) defined by the following series:
that is, by the first terms of the Taylor-Maclaurin series for the exponential function . These truncated-exponential polynomials play an important rôle in many problems in optics and quantum mechanics. However, their properties are apparently as widespread as they should be. The truncated-exponential polynomials have been used to evaluate several overlapping integrals associated with the optical mode evolution or for characterizing the structure of the flattened beams. Their usefulness has led to the possibility of appropriately extending their definition. Actually, Dattoli et al. [4] systematically studied the properties of these polynomials.
The definition (6) does lead us to most (if not all) of the properties of the polynomials . We note the following representation:
which follows readily from the classical gamma-function representation (see, for details, [3]). Consequently, we have the following generating function for the truncated-exponential polynomials (see [4]):
The definition (6) of can thus be extended to a family of potentially useful truncated-exponential polynomials as follows (see [4]):
which obviously possesses a generating function in the form (see [4]):
We also recall the higher-order truncated-exponential polynomials , which are defined by the following series (see [4]):
and specified by the following generating function (see [4]):
The special two-variable case of the polynomials in (11) (that is, the case when ) are important for applications. Moreover, these polynomials help us derive several potentially useful identities in a simple way and in investigating other novel families of polynomial systems. Actually, Equation (12) enables us to give a new family of polynomials as has been given in Theorem 1.
A 2-variable extension of the truncated-exponential polynomials is given by (see [4])
and possesses the following generating function (see [4]):
With a view to introducing a mixed family of polynomials related to the familiar Sheffer sequence, we first consider the 2-variable truncated-exponential polynomials (2VTEP) of order r, which are expressed explicitly by (see [5])
and which are generated by
From (8), (10), (12), (14) and (16), we can deduce several special cases of the 2VTEP , For example, we have
As it is shown in [6,7], the 2VTEP are quasi-monomial (see also [1,2]) with respect to multiplicative and derivative operators given by
and
where
Thus, if we apply the monomiality principle as well as the Equations (18) and (19), we have
and
respectively.
The 2VTEP are quasi-monomial, so their properties can be derived from those of the multiplicative and derivative operators and , respectively. We thus find that
which satisfies a differential equation for as follows:
Again, since , the 2VTEP can be explicitly constructed as follows:
Equation (24) yields the following generating function of the 2VTEP :
We can easily verify the following relation between and :
Denoting the classical Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials by , and , respectively, we now recall their familiar generalizations , and of order , which are generated by (see, for details, [8,9,10,11,12,13,14]; see also [15] as well as the references cited therein):
and
Obviously, we have
It is also known that
for the Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi numbers , and , respectively.
The Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials of order was introduced by Luo and Srivastava (see [16,17]). Subsequently, the Apostol-Euler polynomials and the Apostol-Genocchi polynomials of order were analogously studied by Luo (see [18,19,20]; see also [21,22,23,24,25,26,27]).
Definition 1.
The Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials of order α are defined by
with
where denotes the Apostol-Bernoulli numbers of order α.
Definition 2.
The Apostol-Euler polynomials of order α are defined by
with
where denotes the Apostol-Euler numbers of order α.
Definition 3.
The Apostol-Genocchi polynomials of order α are defined by
with
where denotes the Apostol-Genocchi numbers of order α.
Remark 1.
Whenever in (32) and in (36), the order α of the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials and the order α of the Apostol-Genocchi polynomials should obviously be constrained to take on nonnegative integer values (see, for details, [14]). A similar remark would apply also to the order α in all other analogous situations considered in this paper.
Among other authors, Özden (see [28,29]), Özden et al. ([30]) and Özarslan (see [31,32]) introduced and studied the unification of the above-defined Apostol-type polynomials. In particular, Özden ([29]) defined the unified polynomials of higher order by
By putting in (39), we can readily obtain the corresponding unification of the Apostol-type polynomials, which is generated by
In fact, from Equations (32), (34), (36) and (39), we have

Our main objective in this article is to first appropriately combine the 2-variable truncated-exponential polynomials and the Apostol-type polynomials by means of operational techniques. This leads us to the truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials. By framing these polynomials within the context of the monomiality principle, we then establish their potentially useful properties. We also derive some other properties and investigate several implicit summation formulas for this general family of polynomials by making use of several different analytical techniques on their generating functions. We choose to point out some relevant connections between the truncated-exponential polynomials and the Apostol-type polynomials and thereby derive extensions of several symmetric identities.
2. Two-Variable Truncated-Exponential-Based Apostol-Type Polynomials
We now start with the following theorem arising from the generating functions for the truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials (TEATP), which are denoted by .
Theorem 1.
The generating function for the 2-variable truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials is given by
Proof.
Replacing x in the left-hand side and the right-hand side of (39) by the multiplicative operator of the 2VTEATP , we have
Using Equation (25) in the left-hand side and Equation (18) in the right-hand side of Equation (46), we see that
Now, using Equation (16) in the left-hand side and denoting the resulting 2-variable truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials (2VTEATP) in the right-hand side by , we have
which yields the assertion (45) of Theorem 1. □
Remark 2.
Equation (48) gives the operational representation involving the unified Apostol-type polynomials and 2VTEATP .
To frame the 2VTEATP within the context of monomiality principle, we state the following result.
Theorem 2.
The 2VTEATP are quasi-monomial with respect to the following multiplicative and derivative operators:
and
Proof.
Let us consider the following expression:
Differentiating both sides of Equation (45) partially with respect to t, we see that
Since
is an invertible series of t, therefore,
possesses a power-series expansion in t. Thus, using (51), Equation (52) becomes
Again, by using the generating function (45) in left-hand side of Equation (53) and rearranging the resulting summation, we have
Comparing the coefficients of in the Equation (54), we get
which, in view of the monomiality principle exhibited in Equation (20) for , yields the assertion (49) of Theorem 2.
We now prove the assertion (50) of Theorem 2. For this purpose, we start with the following identity arising from Equations (45) and (51):
Rearranging the summation in the left-hand side of Equation (56), and then equating the coefficients of the same powers of t in both sides of the resulting equation, we find that
which, in view of the monomiality principle exhibited in Equation (21) for , yields the assertion (50) of Theorem 2. Our demonstration of Theorem 2 is thus completed. □
We note that the properties of quasi-monomials can be derived by means of the actions of the multiplicative and derivative operators. We derive the differential equation for the 2VTEATP in the following theorem.
Theorem 3.
The 2VTEATP satisfies the following differential equation:
Proof.
Remark 3.
When the 2VTEP of order r reduces to the 2VTEP . Therefore, if we set in Equation (45), we get the following generating function for the 2-variable truncated-exponential Apostol-type polynomials (2VTEATP)
The series definition and other results for the 2VTEATP can be obtained by taking in Theorems 1 and 2. Table 1 shown the special cases of the 2VTEATP .

Some special cases of the 2VTEATP .
Remark 4.
For the case , the polynomials reduce to the truncated-exponential polynomials . Therefore, by taking in Equation (59), we get the following generating function for the truncated-exponential Apostol-type polynomials (TEATP)
In the case when , the results obtained above for the 2VTEABP , 2VTEAEP and 2VTEAGP give the corresponding results for the 2-variable truncated-exponential Bernoulli polynomials (2VTEBP) (of order ) , 2-variable truncated-exponential Euler polynomials (2VTEBP) (of order ) and 2-variable truncated-exponential Genocchi polynomials (2VTGBP) (of order ) [6]. Again for , we get the corresponding results for the 2-variable truncated-exponential Bernoulli polynomials (2VTEBP) , 2-variable truncated-exponential Euler polynomials (2VTEEP) and 2-variable truncated-exponential Genocchi polynomials (2VTEGP) .

[33] and Pathan and Khan (see [34,35,36]). For the derivation of implicit formulas involving the 2-variable truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials , the same considerations as developed for the ordinary Hermite and related polynomials in the works by Khan et al. [33] and Pathan et al. (see [34,35,36]) apply as well. We first prove the following results involving the 2-variable truncated-exponential-based Apostol-type polynomials .

Upon expanding the exponential function (63), we get
which, by appealing to the following series manipulation formula:
in the left-hand side of (64), becomes
Now, replacing q by and l by , and using a lemma in [37] in the left-hand side of (66), we get
