1. Introduction
The Gould–Hopper polynomials, as a generalization of the Hermite polynomials, exhibit a rich set of mathematical properties that make them particularly useful in various analytical contexts. These polynomials possess orthogonality relations, recurrence formulas, and generating functions that facilitate their application in solving complex mathematical problems. Their connection to harmonic oscillators in quantum mechanics has led to significant advancements in the understanding of quantum systems, particularly in the study of energy levels and wave functions. Moreover, Gould–Hopper polynomials have proven invaluable in the development of numerical methods for approximating solutions to certain classes of differential equations [
1]. The versatility of the Gould–Hopper polynomials extends beyond theoretical physics and pure mathematics. In applied mathematics, these polynomials have found applications in signal processing, where they are used to analyze and filter complex waveforms. In addition, their properties make them suitable for use in computational algorithms, particularly in the field of numerical analysis. The study of Gould–Hopper polynomials continues to be an active area of research, with ongoing investigations into their higher-order generalizations and potential applications in emerging fields, such as quantum computing and information theory.
The generating function defines the bivariate truncated polynomials (or simply, 2VTP), represented by the notation
[

where
Very recently, in [
3], Özat et al. articulated the structure of truncated exponential-based general Appell polynomials by utilizing the framework of two-variable general Appell polynomials as follows:
Furthermore, the authors derived explicit and determinant representations, as well as lowering and raising operators, recurrence relations, differential equations, and several summation formulas for these polynomials.
Quantum calculus, alternatively termed
q-calculus, has emerged as a domain of significant scholarly interest. As
q approaches
, this field converges with classical calculus. In recent scientific discourse, the applications of quantum calculus have extended across numerous disciplines, including mathematical sciences, quantum physics and mechanics, quantum algebra, approximation theory, and operator theory. The foundations of
q-calculus were established by F.H. Jackson in the early 20th century, presenting a robust alternative to classical analysis through the introduction of
q-analogues of differentiation and integration. This formalism has been rigorously extended in the comprehensive work of Andrews, Askey, and Roy [
4], and further enriched by Askey’s exploration of
q-Laguerre polynomial limits [
5]. The algebraic and operational structures of
q-polynomials began to take shape with Cigler’s operator-based identities [
6], paving the way for the formulation of
q-Appell families. Subsequently, Ernst [
7] provided a modern comprehensive treatment that systematized
q-calculus, thereby establishing it as a coherent field in its own right. In recent decades,
q-polynomials have emerged as central tools in quantum algebra and theoretical physics, as demonstrated by Florenini and Vinet’s work on the interplay between quantum algebra and
q-specific functions [
8]. Additionally, the construction of multidimensional
q-Hermite polynomials by Wani et al. [
9] expanded the applicability of
q-polynomials to higher-dimensional and multi-variable domains. These developments have culminated in a growing interest in truncated polynomial families, particularly those based on
q-exponential functions, leading to the formulation of truncated exponential-based Appell polynomials and their generalizations. Building on this rich context, this study introduces a novel class of three-variable
q-truncated Gould–Hopper polynomials, establishing new recurrence relations, operational identities, and q-differential structures that contribute to the ongoing expansion of the
q-polynomial framework. Assume

In this article, we introduce the concept of trivariate q-truncated Gould–Hopper polynomials, employing a generating function methodology that integrates q-calculus functions. We obtain these within the quasi-monomiality framework, enabling the establishment of fundamental operational identities for these polynomials. The investigation proceeds to derive operational representations and formulate both q-differential and partial differential equations for these polynomials. To enhance understanding of their analytical characteristics, summation formulas are constructed. The article concludes by presenting graphical depictions that showcase the behavior of three-variable q-truncated Gould–Hopper-based polynomials.

4. Monomiality Characteristic
The concept of monomiality is a fundamental tool for the examination of exceptional polynomials and their characteristics. Initially introduced by J.F. Steffensen [
13], this idea was later expanded into the field of quasi-monomiality by Dattoli and his colleagues [
14,
15,
16]. In the realm of
q-polynomials, Zayed et al. [
17] further advanced the principle of monomiality. This advancement offers a comprehensive methodology for investigating the quasi-monomiality of specific
q-special polynomials. Researchers have widely applied monomiality frameworks to develop and assess hybrid families of special polynomials [
18]. The two
q-operators

q-multiplicative and
q-derivative operators, respectively, for a
q-polynomial set

17]

In the subsequent theorem, we elucidate the q-monomial attributes of the three-variable q-truncated Gould–Hopper polynomials, represented by the notation .
Theorem 9. The trivariate q-truncated Gould–Hopper polynomials are quasi-monomials under the following q-multiplicative and q-derivative operators:or, alternativelyandrespectively, where and denote the q-dilatation operators given by Equation (68). Proof. Taking the
q-derivatives on both sides of Equation (
39) with respect to
t by using Equations (
15) and (
16), we obtain

16), (
68), and (
74) in the left-hand side, results in

75), we get
which on using (
39) gives
Comparing the coefficients of
t on both sides of Equation (
77) and then from a view of Equation (
59), the resultant equation gives assertion (
71).
Using Equation (
16), again by taking

71)–(
73) in (
62), we get the assertions (
78) and (
79). □

5) on the r.h.s. of the preceding equation, we arrive at the statement (
80). Again, by a similar method (
80) and using (
5), we get the assertion (
81). Operating
on both sides of Equation (
80) and using Equation (
10), we obtain (
82). □
