Abstract
The main goal of this article is to explore a new type of polynomials, specifically the Gould-Hopper-Laguerre-Sheffer matrix polynomials, through operational techniques. The generating function and operational representations for this new family of polynomials will be established. In addition, these specific matrix polynomials are interpreted in terms of quasi-monomiality. The extended versions of the Gould-Hopper-Laguerre-Sheffer matrix polynomials are introduced, and their characteristics are explored using the integral transform. Further, examples of how these results apply to specific members of the matrix polynomial family are shown.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Significant discoveries in the theory of group representation, statistics, quadrature and interpolation, scattering theory, imaging of medicine, and splines have led to the development of matrix polynomials and special matrix functions. Numerous disciplines of mathematics and engineering make use of special matrix polynomials (see, for example, [,], and the citations included therein). For instance, many mathematicians investigate and explore special matrix polynomials.
The Sheffer sequences [] are used extensively in mathematics, theoretical physics, theory of approximation, and various different mathematical disciplines. Roman [] naturally discusses the Sheffer polynomials’ properties in the context of contemporary classical umbral calculus. The Sheffer polynomials are given as follows (see [], p. 17): Set and power series, which are formally given as follows:
and
which are referred to as delta series and invertible series, respectively. Here and elsewhere, let , , and be, respectively, the sets of complex numbers, real numbers, and integers. Let
be the sets of numbers in less than or equal to , less than , greater than or equal to , and greater than , respectively, for some , where is either or .
With each pairing of an invertible series and a delta series , there is a unique sequence of polynomials that satisfies the conditions of orthogonality (consult [], p. 17):
where is the Kronecker delta function defined by and . The operator is unchanged from [], Chapter 2.
Remark 1.
The sequence satisfying (2) is called the Sheffer sequence for , or is Sheffer for , which is usually denoted as . Remain aware that and should be an invertible series and a delta series, respectively.
There are two forms of Sheffer sequences worth noting:
- (i)
- If , the is said to be the associated sequence for , or is associated with ;
- (ii)
- If , the is said to be the Appell sequence for , or is Appell for (see [], p. 17; see also []).
If is Sheffer for , the Sheffer sequence is generated by depending solely on the series and . To emphasize this dependence, in [], the was represented by .
Amid various Sheffer sequences’ characterizations, the following generating function is recalled (consult, for instance, [], p. 18): The sequence is Sheffer for if and only if:
for every in , where is the inverse of composition of .
The particular polynomials of two variables are significant in view of an application. In addition, these polynomials facilitate the derivation of numerous valuable identities and aid in the introduction of new families of particular polynomials; see, for instance, [,,,]. The Laguerre-Sheffer polynomials are generated by the following function (consult []):
for all in , where denotes the 0th-order Bessel-Tricomi function, which possesses the subsequent operational law:
where
Generally,
where is the well-known Gamma function (consult, for example, [], Section 1.1), which is a left-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order (see, for example, [], Chapter 2). For some recent applications for geometric analysis, one may consult, for example, [,].
As in Remark 1, the case and the case of the Laguerre-Sheffer polynomials in (4) are called, respectively, the Laguerre-associated Sheffer sequence and the Laguerre-Appell sequence, and denoted, respectively, by and (consult []).
Remark 2.
For , let indicate the set of all κ by κ matrices whose entries are in . Let be the set of all eigenvalues of , which is said to be the spectrum of B. For , let and . If , that is, for all , the matrix B is referred to as positive stable.
For , its 2-norm is denoted by:
where for any vector , is the Euclidean norm of ρ. Here indicates the Hermitian matrix of ρ.
If and are holomorphic functions of the variable , which are defined in an open set Λ of the plane , and R is a matrix in such that , then from the matrix functional calculus’s characteristics ([], p. 558), one finds that . Therefore, if Q in is another matrix with , such that , then (consult, for instance, [,]).
As the reciprocal of the Gamma function indicated by is an entire function of the variable , for any R in , the functional calculus of Riesz-Dunford reveals that the image of acting on R, symbolized by , is a well-defined matrix (consult [], Chapter 7).
Recently, the matrix polynomials of Gould-Hopper (GHMaP) were introduced by virtue of the subsequent generating function (consult []):
Here are matrices in such that C is positive stable and an . Consider the principal branch of defined on the domain . Then, as in Remark 2, is well-defined if .
The polynomials are specified to be the series
As a result of the idea of monomiality, the majority of the features of generalized and conventional polynomials have been demonstrated to be readily derivable within a framework of operations. The monomiality principle is underpinned by Steffensen’s [] introduction of the idea of poweroid. Following that, Dattoli [] reconstructed and elaborated the idea of monomiality (consult, for instance, []).
As per the monomiality principle, there are two operators and that operate on a polynomial set , termed the multiplicative and derivative operators, respectively. Then the polynomial set is said to be quasi-monomial if it satisfies:
A Weyl group structure of the operators and is shown by the relation of commutation:
where is the identity operator.
As a result of acting on , we may deduce the :
The matrix polynomials of Gould-Hopper are quasi-monomial with regard to the subsequent derivative and multiplicative operators []:
and
respectively, where .
The generalization of the hypergeometric series is given by (consult, for instance, [], Section 1.5):

Here it is assumed that , an empty product as 1, and that the variable w, the parameters of numerators and the parameters of denominators are supposed to get complex values, provided that
Recall the well-known generalized binomial theorem (consult, for example, [], p. 34):
Recall the familiar beta function (consult, for instance, [], p. 8):

For these newly presented matrix polynomials, we investigate quasi-monomial features and related operational principles. We also explore the extended form of these novel hybrid special matrix polynomials and their properties using an integral transform. Finally, we provide many instances to demonstrate how the results presented here may be used.

5. Conclusions and Posing a Problem
The authors introduced a new class of polynomials, the Gould-Hopper-Laguerre-Sheffer matrix polynomials, using operational approaches. This new family’s generating function and operational representations were then constructed. They are also understood in terms of quasi-monomiality. The authors also extended Gould-Hopper-Laguerre-Sheffer matrix polynomials and explored their characteristics using the integral transform. There were other instances for individual members of the aforementioned matrix polynomial family.
It should be highlighted that the polynomials presented and studied in this article are regarded to be novel, primarily because they cannot be obtained by modifying previously published findings and identities, as far as we have researched. Also, the new polynomials and their identities are potentially useful, particularly in light of the tables’ demonstrations of some of their special instances.
Posing a problem: Provide some new instances (which are nonexistent from the literature) for those novel polynomials, such as Gould-Hopper matrix polynomials and Gould-Hopper-Laguerre-Sheffer matrix polynomials.
