1. Introduction and Preliminaries
In the last decade, several researchers, namely Kargin [1], Duran and Acikgoz [2], Kim et al. [3,4], Kilar and Simsek [5], and Su and He [6], have discussed certain worthy results related to Fubini polynomials and numbers and degenerate forms of these polynomials. The Bell polynomial family stands out as one of the most prominent special polynomials due to its wide-ranging applications across numerous mathematical frameworks (see [7,8,9]). Appell polynomials are widely utilized in both pure and applied mathematics. These versatile polynomials find applications in fields such as chemistry, theoretical physics, and various branches of mathematics, including the study of polynomial expansions of analytic functions, numerical analysis, and number theory. Throughout this study, the following notations and definitions are employed: refers to the set of complex numbers, refers to the set of real numbers, and .

The Appell polynomials are widely utilized across various mathematical and physical disciplines, such as algebraic geometry, differential equations, and quantum mechanics. They also exhibit strong associations with other families of special functions, including hypergeometric functions, Jacobi polynomials, and many other special polynomials. Recently, many researchers have discussed various special polynomials related to Appell polynomials, see for example [14,15,16,17]. The sequences of Appell polynomial (AP) surface in various applicable problems in applied and pure mathematics, such as the investigation and study of analytic problems and polynomial expansions in physics and chemistry [18].
The AP () [19] satisfy the following relation:

Over the last few years, there has been significant interest in a new approach related to special functions, that is, the determinant approach. Costabile et al. [24] have established a new definition to Bernoulli polynomials based on a determinant approach. Furthermore, Longo an Costabile have established determinant approaches to Sheffer and Appell polynomials (see [25,26]). This led the authors to shed light on the determinant approach of some new hybrid polynomials.
Recently, many researchers have utilize the monomiality principle [27] based on operational methods to introduce and investigate new hybrid classes of special polynomials [14,15,16,28,29,30,31,32].
The Hybrid special polynomials extend the utility of classical special polynomials by addressing complexity, dimensionality, and adaptability limitations. These polynomials play a critical role in advancing theoretical and applied sciences. The established results in this work are useful in various fields including physics, engineering, machine learning, and number theory, demonstrating their versatility in both theoretical and applied contexts.
In this work, by combining the Fubini–Bell polynomials and Appell polynomials, we construct a new hybrid class of special polynomials, namely the Fubini–Bell-based Appell polynomials, seen in Definition 1. Next, the Fubini–Bell-based Appell polynomials’ series representations and some remarkable properties are derived. In Section 3, we establish some symmetry identities that include these polynomials. In Section 4, we acquire the determinant representation for the Fubini–Bell-based Appell polynomials. Finally, certain special cases of the Fubini–Bell-based Appell polynomials are discussed, and the computational results and graphical representations of zero distributions of these members are investigated.

6. Conclusions
The hybrid form of special polynomials and numbers has garnered considerable interest among researchers. In this study, we introduced a novel hybrid class of special polynomials, referred to as the Fubini–Bell-based Appell polynomials (FBAP). We explored their generating function and investigated several related properties. Symmetry identities involving the FBAP were also examined, and a determinant representation was derived. Specific members of the Fubini–Bell-based Appell family—such as the Fubini–Bell-based Bernoulli polynomials and the Fubini–Bell-based Euler polynomials—were obtained, with analogous results presented for each. Additionally, we analyzed computational outcomes and graphical representations of the zero distributions for these members. The method used in [36,37] can be considered in further studies. Future research could delve into the differential and integral representations of these special polynomials, as well as their potential applications.
