Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to construct a unified generating function involving the families of the higher-order hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and Lagrange–Hermite polynomials. Using the generating function and their functional equations, we investigate some properties of these polynomials. Moreover, we derive several connected formulas and relations including the Miller–Lee polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials, and the Lagrange Hermite–Miller–Lee polynomials.
1. Introduction
Special polynomials (like Bernoulli, Euler, Hermite, Laguerre, etc.) have great importance in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, engineering, and other fields of mathematics. Particularly the family of special polynomials is one of the most useful, widespread, and applicable families of special functions. Recently, the aforementioned polynomials and their diverse extensions have been studied and introduced in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14].
In this paper, the usual notations refer to the set of all complex numbers , the set of real numbers , the set of all integers , the set of all natural numbers , and the set of all non-negative integers , respectively. The classical Bernoulli polynomials are defined by
Upon setting in (1), the Bernoulli polynomials reduce to the Bernoulli numbers, namely, . The Bernoulli numbers and polynomials have a long history, which arise from Bernoulli calculations of power sums in 1713 (see [9]), that is
The Bernoulli polynomials have many applications in modern number theory, such as modular forms and Iwasawa theory [11].
In 1924, Nörlund [13] introduced the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers of order

In the special case when in (7), the polynomials reduce to the familiar (two-variable) Lagrange–Hermite polynomials considered by Dattoli et al. [3]:
The multivariable (Erkus–Srivastava) polynomials are defined by the following generating function [6]:
which are a unification (and generalization) of several known families of multivariable polynomials including the Chan–Chyan–Srivastava polynomials in (5) and multivariable Lagrange–Hermite polynomials (7).
By (9), the Erkus–Srivastava polynomials satisfy the following explicit representation (cf. [6]):
which is the generalization of Relation (6).
In this paper, we introduce the multivariable unified Lagrange–Hermite-based hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and investigate some of their properties. Then, we derive multifarious connected formulas involving the Miller–Lee polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials polynomials, the Lagrange Hermite–Miller–Lee polynomials.
2. Lagrange–Hermite-Based Hypergeometric Bernoulli Polynomials
By means of (3) and (9), we consider a unification of the hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials of order and the multivariable (Erkus–Srivastava) polynomials . Thus, we define the multivariable unified Lagrange–Hermite-based hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials of order by means of the following generating function:

4. Conclusions
In this paper, we define the multivariable unified Lagrange–Hermite-based hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and investigate some of their properties. Then, we derive multifarious connected formulas involving the Miller–Lee polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials, and the Lagrange Hermite–Miller–Lee polynomials. It is demonstrated that the proposed the method allows the derivation of sum rules involving products of generalized polynomials and addition theorems. We developed a point of view based on generating relations, exploited in the past, to study some aspects of the theory of special functions. The possibility of extending the results to include generating functions involving products of Lagrange–Hermite-based hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and other polynomials is finally analyzed.
