Abstract: Degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers applied to social problems, physics, and applied mathematics have been studied variously in recent years. Moreover, the (s-)Lah numbers have many other interesting applications in analysis and combinatorics. In this paper, we divide two parts. We first introduce new types of both degenerate incomplete and complete s-Bell polynomials respectively and investigate some properties of them respectively. Second, we introduce the degenerate versions of complete and incomplete Lah-Bell polynomials as multivariate forms for a new type of degenerate s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials and numbers respectively. We investigate relations between these polynomials and degenerate incomplete and complete s-Bell polynomials, and derive explicit formulas for these polynomials.

1  Introduction

For nonnegative integers n, k, s such that n≥k, the s-Lah number Ls(n, k) counts the number of partitions of a set with n + s elements into k + s ordered blocks such that s distinguished elements have to be in distinct ordered blocks [1–5]. When s = 0, the Lah numbers appears non-crossing partitions, Dyck paths as well as falling and rising factorials [6]. As multivariate forms for ordinary Bell polynomials and Stirling numbers of the second kind, respectively, both the complete and incomplete Bell polynomials play important role in combinatorics and number theory. Recently, many mathematicians have been studying various degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers as well as enumerative combinatorics, probability theory, number theory, etc. [7–17]. In [7], as an example considering the psychological burden of baseball hitters, it well expresses the starting point of degenerate special polynomials and numbers being studied by many scholars. Also, both the complete and incomplete Bell polynomials are multivariate forms for Bell polynomials and Stirling numbers of the second kind, respectively. Beginning with Bell [18], these polynomials have been studied by many mathematicians [1,16,19,20]. Recently, Kwon et al. [16] introduced the degenerate incomplete and complete s-Bell polynomials and Kim et al. [20] introduced the incomplete and complete s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials, respectively. With this in mind, we want to study the degenerate versions of complete and incomplete Lah-Bell polynomials as multivariate forms for a new type of degenerate s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials and numbers respectively. In Section 2, we consider new types of degenerate incomplete and complete s-Bell polynomials respectively different from those introduced in [16] for our goal. We study several properties and explicit formulas for them. In Section 3, we define both degenerate incomplete and complete s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials associated with a new type of degenerate s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials respectively, and derive relations between these polynomials and degenerate polynomials in the first part. We also investigate explicit formulas for degenerate complete and incomplete s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials, respectively.

First, we introduce some definitions and properties we needed in this paper.

For a nonnegative integer s, the s-Stirling numbers S(s)2(n, k) of the second kind are given by the generating function

1k!est(et−1)k=∑n=k∞Sn(s)(n+s,k+s)tnn!,(see [15,16]). (1)

When s = 0, S(0)2(n, k) = S2(n, k) are the Stirling numbers of the second kind which are the number of ways to partition a set with n elements into k non-empty subsets.

From (8), it is to see that [15,16] the generating function of the s-Bell polynomials is

∑n=0∞beln(s)(x)tnn!=ex(et−1)est. (2)

When x = 1, beln(s)(1)=beln(s)=∑k=0nS2(n+s,k+s) are called the s-bell numbers.

When s = 0, beln(0)(x)=beln(x) are the ordinary Bell polynomials.

Furthermore, the incomplete s-Bell polynomials.

Bn+s,k+s(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯) are given by the generating function

1k!(∑l=1∞βltll!)k(∑i=0∞νi+1tii!)s=∑n=k∞Bn+s,k+s(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!,(see [16]). (3)

When s = 0, Bn+0,k+0(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=Bn,k(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1) are the incomplete Bell polynomials. From (10), we obtain immediately that [16]

Bn+s,k+s(s)(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑Λ(n,k,s)[n!k1!,k2!⋯(β11!)k1(β22!)k2(β33!)k3⋯]×[s!s0!s1!s2!⋯(ν10!)s0(ν21!)s1(ν32!)s3⋯], (4)

where Λ(n,k,s) denotes the set of all nonnegative integers (ki)i≥1 and (si)i≥0 such that

∑i≥1ki=k,∑i≥0si=sand∑i≥1i(ki+si)=n.

The combinatorial meaning of the incomplete s-Bell polynomials is in the reference [18].

The complete s-Bell polynomials Bn(s)(x1,x2,⋯:y1,y2,⋯) are given by the generation function

exp(∑l=1∞βltll!)(∑i=0∞νi+1tii!)s=∑n=k∞Bn(s)(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!,(see [18]), (5)

where exp(t) = et.

When s = 0, Bn(0)(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=Bn(β1,β2,⋯,βn) are the complete Bell polynomials.

Let n, k, s be nonnegative integers with n≥k. It is well known that [2] an explicit formula and the generating function of s-Lah Bell Ls(n, k) are given by, respectively

Ls(n,k)=n!k!(n+2s−1k+2s−1),

and

1k!(t1−t)k(11−t)2s=∑n=k∞Ls(n,k)tnn!. (6)

When s = 0, L0(n, k) = L(n, k) are the unsigned Lah-numbers.

Kim et al. [2] introduced the s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials Lbn, s(x) given by the generating function

ext1−t(11−t)2s=∑n=0∞Lbn,s(x)tnn!. (7)

When x = 1, Lbn,s(1)=Lbn,s=∑k=0nLs(n,k)(n≥0) are called the s-extended Lah-Bell numbers. When s = 0, Lbn, 0(x) = Lbn(x) are the Lah-Bell polynomials.

For λ∈R, the degenerate exponential function is defined by

eλx(t)=(1+λt)xλandeλ(t)=∑n=0∞(1)n,λtnn!,(see [8−11]). (8)

where (x)0,λ=1 and (x)n,λ=x(x−λ)(x−2λ)⋯(x−(n−1)λ).

The degenerate fully Bell polynomials are given by

eλ(x(eλ(t)−1))=∑n=0∞Beln,λ(x)tnn!,(see [21]). (9)

When λ→0, Beln,λ(x)=beln(x).

In addition, the partially degenerate Bell polynomials are given by

ex(eλ(t)−1))=∑n=0∞Beln,λ(x)tnn!,(see [12]). (10)

When λ→0, Beln,λ(x)=beln(x).

2  A New Type of Degenerate Complete and Incomplete s-Bell Polynomials

In this section, we introduce new types of degenerate complete s-Bell polynomials and degenerate incomplete s-Bell polynomials different from (9) and (10), respectively. We also give some identities and explicit formulas for these polynomials.

For our goal, we introduce a new type of the degenerate extended s-Bell polynomials defined by

eλ(x(et−1))eλs(t)=∑n=0∞beln,s,λ(x)tnn!. (11)

When x = 1, beln,s,λ=beln,s,λ(1) are called the degenerate extended s-Bell numbers.

When limλ→0eλ(x(et−1))eλs(t)=exp⁡(x(et−1))exp⁡(t)=∑n=0∞beln,s(x)tnn!.

When s = 0, beln,0,λ(x)=beln,λ(x) are the degenerate Bell polynomials.

Theorem 2.1. For n, s∈N∪0, we have

beln,s,λ(x)=∑m=0n∑k=0m(nm)(1)k,λ(s)n−m,λS2(m,k)xk.

Proof. From (1), (8) and (11), we observe that

∑n=0∞beln,s,λ(x)tnn!=eλ(x(et−1))eλs(t)=∑k=0∞(1)k,λxk1k!(et−1)keλs(t)=∑k=0∞(1)k,λxk∑m=k∞S2(m,k)tmm!∑j=0∞(s)j,λtjj!=∑m=0∞∑k=0m(1)k,λxkS2(m,k)tmm!∑j=0∞(s)j,λtjj!=∑n=0∞(∑m=0n∑k=0m(nm)(1)k,λ(s)n−m,λS2(m,k)xk)tnn!. (12)

By comparing with the coefficients of both side of (12), we get the desired result.

Theorem 2.2. For n, s∈N∪0, we have

beln,s,λ(x)=∑k=0∞∑h=0n∑m=0k(nh)(km)mn−h(s)h,λ(1)k,λ(−1)k−mk!xk.

Proof. From (8) and (11), we observe that

∑n=0∞beln,s,λ(x)tnn!=eλ(x(et−1))eλs(t)=∑k=0∞(1)k,λxk1k!(et−1)keλs(t)=∑k=0∞(1)k,λxk1k!∑m=0k(km)(−1)k−m∑j=0∞mjtjj!∑h=0∞(s)h,λthh!=∑n=0∞(∑k=0∞∑h=0n∑m=0k(nh)(km)mn−h(s)h,λ(1)k,λ(−1)k−mk!xk)tnn!. (13)

By comparing with the coefficients of both side of (13), we get the desired result.

First, we define a new type of the degenerate complete Bell polynomials Bnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn) associated with the degenerate Bell polynomials beln,λ(x) by

eλ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)=∑n=0∞Wnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!, (14)

and a new type of the degenerate incomplete Bell polynomials Wn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1) associated with some degenerate Stirling numbers defined by

1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)k=∑n=k∞Wn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!,(n≥k≥0). (15)

Theorem 2.3. For n≥k≥0, we have

W0λ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)=1Wnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)=∑k=1n(1)k,λBn,k(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)if n≥1.

In particular, we have Wnλ(x,x,⋯,x)=beln,λ(x).

Proof. From (3), (4) and (14), we have

∑n=0∞Wnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!=eλ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)=1+∑k=1∞(1)k,λ1k!(∑h=1∞βhthh!)k=1+∑k=1∞(1)k,λ∑n=k∞Bn,k(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!=1+∑n=1∞(∑k=1n(1)k,λBn,k(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1))tnn!. (16)

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both sides of (16), we have the desired result.

In particular, from (16), we have

∑n=0∞Wnλ(x,x,⋯,x)tnn!=eλ(x∑h=1∞thh!)=eλ(x(et−1))=∑n=0∞beln,λ(x)tnn!. (17)

Thus, by comparing with coefficients of both sides of (17), we have

Wnλ(x,x,…,x)=beln,λ(x).

In next theorem, we obtain a new type of degenerate Stirling numbers of second kind (1)k,λS2(n,k).

Theorem 2.4. For n≥k≥0, we have

W0λ(β1,β2,…,βn)=1Wnλ(β1,β2,…,βn)=∑k=1nWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)if n≥1.

In particular, we get Wn,kλ(1,1,…,1)=(1)k,λS2(n,k).

Proof. From (8), (14) and (15), we observe that

∑n=0∞Wnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!=eλ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)=∑k=0∞1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)k=1+∑k=1∞∑n=k∞Wn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!=1+∑n=1∞∑k=1nWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!. (18)

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both sides of (18), we have what we want.

In addition, from (18), we get

∑n=k∞Wn,kλ(1,1,⋯,1)=(1)k,λ1k!(et−1)k=(1)k,λ∑n=k∞S2(n,k).

Thus, we have Wn,kλ(1,1,⋯,1)=(1)k,λS2(n,k).

Next, for λ∈R, we consider a new type of degenerate incomplete s-Bell polynomials defined by

Wn+s,k+sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=1k!(∑h=1∞(1)k,λβhthh!)k(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tmm!)s. (19)

From (4) and (19), we have the following explicit formula

For n≥k≥0, we have

Wn+s,k+sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑n=k∞Bn+s,k+s((1)k,λβ1,(1)k,λβ2,⋯:(1)0,λν1,(1)1,λν2,⋯)tnn!=∑Λ(n,k,λ)[n!k1!k2!⋯((1)k,λβ11!)k1((1)k,λβ12!)k2⋯]×[r!s0!s1!⋯((1)0,λν10!)s0((1)1,λν21!)s1⋯], (20)

where Λ(n,k,s) denote the set of all nonnegative integers (ki)i≥1 and (si)i≥1 such that

∑i≥1ki=k,∑i≥0si=sand∑i≥1i(ki+si)=n

Naturally, we define a new type of the degenerate complete s-Bell polynomials by

Wn(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=eλ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tmm!)s, (21)

where λ∈R and n, k∈N with n≥k.

We note that

limλ→∞Wn(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=Bn(s)(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯).

From (19) and (21), we note that Wn(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑k=0nWn+s,k+sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯).

Theorem 2.5. For n, k, s≥0 with n≥k, we have

Wn+s,k+sλ(1,1,⋯:1,1,⋯)=(1)k,λS2(n,k)eλs(t).

Proof. From (1), (8) and (19), we have

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both side of (22), we obtain the desired result.

In Theorem 2.5, we obtain a new type of degenerate s-extended Stirling number of second.

Theorem 2.6. For n≥k≥0, we have

Proof. By using (8), we observe that

and

From (23) and (24), we get

On the other hand, from (21), we have

eλ(∑h=1∞βhthh!)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tmm!)s=∑n=0∞Wn(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!. (26)

Thus, by comparing with coefficients of (25) and (26), we have what we want.

Next, we consider the extended degenerate complete s-Bell polynomials defined by the generating function

eλ(z∑h=1∞βhthh!)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tmm!)s=∑n=0∞Wn(s),λ(z|β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!. (27)

Theorem 2.7. For n≥k≥0, we have

Wn(s),λ(z |β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑k=0nzkWn+s,k+sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯).

When z = 1, we get

Wn(s),λ(1|β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑k=0nWn+s,k+s(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯).

Proof. From (19) and (27), we have

∑n=0∞Wn(s),λ(z |β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!=∑k=0∞zk(1)k,λ1k!(∑h=1∞βhthh!)k(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tmm!)s=∑k=0∞zk∑n=k∞Wn+s,k+sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!=∑n=0∞(∑k=0nzkWn+s,k+s(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯))tnn!. (28)

Thus, by comparing with coefficients of both sides of (28), we have what we want.

Theorem 2.8. For n, k, s≥0 with n≥k, we have

Wn(s),λ(z | 1,1,⋯:1,1,⋯)=beln,s,λ(z).

Proof. From (27), we observe that

eλ(z∑l=1∞thl!)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λtmm!)s =∑n=0∞∑k=0nzkWn+s,k+s(s)((1)k,λ,(1)k,λ,⋯:(1)0,λ,(1)1,λ,⋯)tnn!.  (29)

On the other hand, from (11), we get

eλ(z ∑l=1∞tll!)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λtmm!)s=eλ(z(et−1))eλs(t)=∑n=0∞beln,s,λ(z)tnn!. (30)

Thus, from (29) and (30), we get the desired result.

3  Degenerate s-Extended Complete and Incomplete Lah-Bell Polynomials

In this section, we introduce a new type of the degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials different from Kim-Kim’s in [8] and define both the s-extended complete and incomplete degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials associated with a new type of the degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials. We also demonstrate some interesting properties related to these polynomials and explicit formulas for them.

We consider a new type of the degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials Lbn,λ(x) given by the generating function

eλ(xt1−t)=∑n=0∞Lbn,λ(x)tnn!. (31)

When x = 1, Lbn,λ(1)=Lbn,λ  (n≥0) are called the degenerate Lah-Bell numbers (see Figs. 1 and 2).

When λ→0, Lbn,λ(x)=Lbn(x).

In view of the ordinary Bell polynomials, the degenerate 2s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials are defined by the generating function

∑n=k∞Lbn,2s,λ(x)=eλx(t1−t)eλ2s(t). (32)

When x = 1, Lbn,2s,λ=Lbn,2s,λ(1) are called the degenerate extended 2s-extended Lah-Bell numbers numbers. When s = 0, the degenerate complete s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials are the degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials.

Next, we introduce the degenerate complete Lah-Bell polynomials LWnλ(x1,x2,⋯,xn) defined by the generating function

eλ(∑h=1∞βhth)=∑n=0∞LWnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!. (33)

We note that

∑n=0∞LWnλ(x,x,⋯,x)tnn!=eλ(x∑h=1∞th)=eλ(xt1−t)=∑n=0∞Lbn,λ(x)tnn!. (34)

From (31), we have LWnλ(x,⋯,x)=Lbn,λ(x) and LWnλ(1,1,⋯,1)=Lbn,λ.

From (20) and (34), we get

∑n=0∞LWnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!=eλ(∑h=1∞h!βhthh!)=∑n=0∞Wnλ(1!β1,2!β2,⋯,n!βn)tnn!. (35)

By (14), (15), (35) and Theorem 2.3, we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 3.1. For n≥k≥0, we have

LW0λ(β1,β2,⋯,xn)=1 and LWnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)=Wnλ(1!β1,2!β2,⋯,n!βn)=∑k=1n(1)k,λBn,k(1!β1,2!β2,⋯,(n−k+1)!βn−k+1).

Naturally, we can define a new type of the degenerate incomplete Lah-Bell polynomials

LWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1) are defined by the generating function

1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞βhth)k=∑n=k∞LWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!,(n≥k≥0). (36)

Note that when λ→0, LWn,kλ(1,1,⋯,1)=Lbn are the Lah-bell numbers.

From (15) and (36), we observe that

LWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)=Wn,kλ(1!β1,2!β2,⋯,(n−k+1)!βn−k+1). (37)

Theorem 3.2. For n≥k≥0, we have

LW0λ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)=1,LWnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)=∑k=1nLWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)if  n≥1.

Proof.

From (8), (36) and (37), we observe that

1+∑n=1∞LWnλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn)tnn!=eλ(∑h=1∞βhth)=1+∑k=1∞1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞βhth)k=1+∑k=1∞∑n=k∞LWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!=1+∑n=1∞(∑k=1nLWn,kλ(β1,β2,⋯,βn−k+1)tnn!). (38)

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both side of (38), we get the desired identity.

We define the degenerate s-extended incomplete Lah-Bell polynomials

LWn+2s,k+2sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯) by the generating function

1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞βhth)k(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tm)2s=∑n=k∞LWn+2s,k+2sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!. (39)

When s = 0, the degenerate incomplete s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials are the degenerate incomplete Lah-Bell polynomials.

From (19) and Theorem 2.5, we get easily the following explicit formula.

Theorem 3.3. For n≥k≥0, we have

LWn+2s,k+2sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=Wn+2s,k+2sλ(1!β1,2!β2,⋯:0!ν1,1!ν2,⋯)=∑Λ(n,k,2r)[n!k1!,k2!⋯β1k1β2k2⋯][(2s)!s0!s1!⋯ν1s0ν2s1⋯],

where Λ(n,k,2s) denote the set of all nonnegative integers {ki}i≥1 and {si}i≥0 such that

∑i≥1ki=k,∑i≥0si=2sand∑i≥1i(ki+si)=n.

We also define the degenerate s-extended complete Lah-Bell polynomials

LWn(2s),λ(z|β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯) by the generating function

eλ(z∑h=1∞βhth)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tm)2s=∑n=0∞LWn(2s),λ(z|β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!. (40)

Theorem 3.4. For n≥k≥0, we have

LWn+2s,k+2sλ(x,x,x,⋯:10!11!12!⋯)=Lbn,2s,λ(x).

When x = 1, we have

LWn+2s,k+2sλ(1,1,1,⋯:10!11!12!⋯)=Lbn,2s,λ.

Proof. From (32) and (39), we have

∑n=k∞LWn+2s,k+2sλ(x,x,x,⋯:10!11!12!⋯)tnn!=1k!(1)k,λ(∑h=1∞th)k(xk∑m=0∞(1)m,λtmm!)2s=eλx(t1−t)eλ2s(t)=∑n=k∞Lbn,2s,λ(x). (41)

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both side of (41), we get the desired result.

From (19), (39) and (40), we note that

LWn(2s),λ(z|β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑k=0nzkLWn+2s,k+2sλ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=∑k=0nzkWn+2s,k+2sλ(1!β1,2!β2,⋯:0!ν1,1!ν2,⋯),

for n≥k≥0.

Theorem 3.5. For n≥k≥0 and s≥0, we have

LWn(s),λ(β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)=n!(∑k=0n ∑b1+2b2+⋯+kbk=k∑c1+c2+⋯+c2s=n−k(1)b1+b2+⋯+bk,λ(β1)b1(β2)b2⋯(βk)bkb1!b2!⋯bk!∏i=12s(1)ci,λνci+1).

Proof. From (17), we have

eλ(∑h=1∞βhth)=∑k=0∞(1)k,λ1k!(∑h=1∞βhth)k=1+(1)1,λ11!(∑h=1∞βhth)+(1)2,λ12!(∑h=1∞βhth)2+(1)3,λ13!(∑h=1∞βhth)3+⋯=1+((1)1,λ11!β1)t+((1)1,λ11!β2+(1)2,λ12!β12)t2+((1)1,λ11!β3+(1)2,λ12!2β1β2+(1)3,λ13!β13)t3+⋯=∑k=0∞ ∑b1+2b2+⋯+kbk=k(1)b1+b2+⋯+bk,λb1!b2!⋯bk!(β1)b1(β2)b2⋯(βk)bktk, (42)

and

(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tm)2s=∑j=0∞∑c1+c2+⋯+c2s=j(∏i=12s(1)ci,λνci+1)tj. (43)

By (42) and (43), we have

∑n=0∞LWn(2s),λ(1 |β1,β2,⋯:ν1,ν2,⋯)tnn!=eλ(∑h=1∞βhth)(∑m=0∞(1)m,λνm+1tm)2s=n!∑n=0∞(∑k=0n ∑b1+2b2+⋯+kbk=k∑c1+c2+⋯+c2s=n−k(1)b1+b2+⋯+bk,λ(β1)b1(β2)b2⋯(βk)bkb1!b2!⋯bk!∏i=12s(1)ci,λνci+1)tnn!. (44)

Therefore, by comparing with coefficients of both side of (44), we get the desired result.

Remark. We recall the degenerate Lah-Bell numbers Lbn,λ as follows (31):

eλ(t1−t)=∑n=0∞Lbn,λtnn!.

In the following figures (x-axis = t, y-axis=eλ(t1−t)) in which the simulation program uses Fortran language, We can see the change Lbn,λ depending on λ.

4  Conclusion

In this paper, we introduced both the degenerate s-extended incomplete and complete Lah-Bell polynomials associated with a new type of degenerate s-extended Lah-Bell polynomials. We demonstrated some combinatorial identities between these polynomials and polynomials introduced in Section 2, and explicit formulas for them respectively. In addition, we obtained new types of the degenerate Stirling numbers and s-extended Stirling numbers of the second kind in Theorem 2.4 and 2.5, respectively.

Special polynomials have been applied not only in mathematics and physics, but also in various fields of application [1,3,6,9,17,18,22–27]. In recent years, one of our research areas has been to explore some special numbers and polynomials and their degenerate versions, and to discover their arithmetical and combinatorial properties and some of their applications. We intend to study various degenerate polynomial and numbers using several means such as function generation, combinatorial methods, umbral calculus, differential equations, and probability theory.
