Abstract
In this paper, we define a new generalization of three-variable q-Laguerre polynomials and derive some properties. By using these polynomials, we introduce a new generalization of three-variable q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials (3VqLbAP) through a generating function approach involving zeroth-order q-Bessel–Tricomi functions. These polynomials are studied by means of generating function, series expansion, and determinant representation. Also, these polynomials are further examined within the framework of q-quasi-monomiality, leading to the establishment of essential operational identities. We then derive operational representations, as well as q-differential equations for the three-variable q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials. Some examples are constructed in terms of q-Laguerre–Hermite-based Bernoulli, Euler, and Genocchi polynomials in order to illustrate the main results.

1. Introduction
The Laguerre polynomials constitute an important class of orthogonal polynomials with diverse applications across various fields, including quantum group theory, harmonic oscillator theory, and coding theory [,,]. One notable application of these polynomials is their role in expressing covariant oscillator algebra, where they provide a powerful mathematical framework. Dattoli and Torre [] extensively studied the theory of two-variable Laguerre polynomials, demonstrating that classical Laguerre polynomials can be formulated within the framework of quasi-monomials. The significance of two-variable Laguerre polynomials stems from their profound mathematical properties, as they naturally emerge as solutions to certain partial differential equations, including the heat diffusion equation. Furthermore, they play a crucial role in radiation physics, particularly in problems involving electromagnetic wave propagation and quantum beam lifetime in storage rings []. Their broad applicability underscores their importance in both theoretical and applied mathematics.
In recent years, the study of q-calculus and fractional q-differential equations has gained significant momentum among mathematicians and engineers due to its profound applications in various scientific fields. Originally introduced by Jackson’s in 1908, q-calculus, often referred to as quantum calculus, provides a framework for defining and analyzing q-differential equations [,]. These equations play a crucial role in modeling discrete physical processes, including those found in quantum mechanics, dynamical systems, and stochastic analysis. Typically, q-differential equations are formulated on a discrete time scale , where q represents the scaling parameter [,,,]. As the theory of q-calculus has evolved, several fundamental extensions have emerged, such as the q-Laplace transform, q-Gamma and q-Beta functions, q-Mittag–Leffler functions, and q-integral transforms. Although q-calculus has seen remarkable theoretical advancements, the study of fractional q-calculus remains relatively underdeveloped compared to its classical counterpart, highlighting the need for further research and exploration [,,].

The monomiality concept is a valuable technique for understanding certain special polynomials and functions in conjunction with relations and properties. This concept has the potential to generate novel sets of the family of q-special polynomials and show the quasi-monomial nature of some previously established q-extension of special polynomials. For further information, one may look at the works of [,,,]. Implementing the monomiality principle to quantum calculus establishes a basis for comprehending q-special polynomials as specific solutions to expanded versions of q-integro differential equations and q-partial differential equations. Cao and colleagues [] have recently expanded the idea of the monomiality principle to the field of quantum calculus.

The q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials exhibit intriguing connections with symmetry identities, particularly in the realm of combinatorial mathematics and special functions. These polynomials often satisfy recurrence relations and q-difference equations that reveal symmetrical structures when parameters are interchanged. Additionally, their generating functions can display inherent symmetries, making them useful in deriving new transformation formulas. Orthogonality properties further reinforce symmetry by linking polynomial families through integral representations. Such identities play a crucial role in applications involving quantum calculus, q-series, and statistical mechanics, where symmetric structures naturally emerge in physical and mathematical models.
In this paper, we provide and examine the unique features of q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials with three variables by employing the q-operators. Moreover, we provide applications of these newly discovered q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials. Overall, our findings suggest that the new generalization of three-variable q-Laguerre-based Appell polynomials have promising applications in various fields.
