In the 18th century, the foundation of
q-calculus began, establishing a framework integral to the theory of special functions. Recently,
q-calculus has garnered significant attention due to its applicability across fields like applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and physics, bridging classical mathematics and quantum calculus. The development of
q-analogues, inspired by classical calculus, has led to foundational results in combinatorics, number theory, and other mathematical disciplines. Key
q-special polynomials, such as the
q-binomial coefficient
and the
q-Pochhammer symbol
, hold central roles in
q-analog structures across combinatorics, representation theory, and statistical mechanics. The algebraic and analytic richness of these polynomials offers essential tools for exploring
q-analogue phenomena. In this paper, we set

q-Hermite polynomials, notably by Zayed et al. [

q-calculus frameworks. Additionally,
q-special functions have been formulated and explored within the representations of quantum algebras [

The monomiality principle stands as a fundamental tool for investigating specific special polynomials and functions, as well as their properties. Originating from Steffensen’s work in the early 19th century, this concept underwent significant refinement and expansion through Dattoli’s contributions in 2000. Recent academic research has utilized the monomiality principle to explore innovative hybrid special polynomial sequences and families [
14,
15]. Notably, Cao et al. [
10] extended the application of the monomiality principle to
q-special polynomials, opening avenues for the creation of novel
q-special polynomial families and shedding light on the quasi monomiality of certain existing
q-special polynomials. Through the application of
q-operation specific techniques, researchers can derive additional classes of
q-generating functions and various generalizations of
q-special functions. Among these techniques, the
q-operational process demonstrates greater alignment with traditional mathematical approaches and implementations employed in the resolution of
q-differential equations. In the context of a
q-polynomial set

q-operators are defined as

q-multiplicative and
q-derivative operators, respectively, are implemented as described in [

Inspired by the above papers, in this paper, we examine the specific characteristics of two-variable q-general Appell polynomials through the implementation of the q-analog monomiality principle. Additionally, we present some applications of these newly established two-variable q-general Appell polynomials with graphical representations. Our findings suggest that these polynomials are promising for diverse applications across multiple disciplines.
