ABSTRACT
Degenerate Dowling and degenerate r-Dowling polynomials were introduced earlier as degenerate versions and further generalizations of Dowling and r-Dowling polynomials. The aim of this paper is to show their connections with Poisson degenerate central moments for a Poisson random variable with a certain parameter and with Charlier polynomials.
1. introduction and preliminaries
In recent years, studying various degenerate versions of many special polynomials and numbers, which began with the paper [Citation1] by Carlitz, received regained interests of some mathematicians and many interesting results were discovered (see [Citation2–8] and the references therein). They have been explored by employing several different tools such as combinatorial methods, generating functions, p-adic analysis, umbral calculus techniques, differential equations, probability theory and analytic number theory.
Degenerate Dowling and degenerate r-Dowling polynomials were introduced earlier as degenerate versions and further generalizations of Dowling and r-Dowling polynomials. The aim of this paper is to show their connections with Poisson degenerate central moments for a Poisson random variable with a certain parameter and with Charlier polynomials.
The outline of this paper is as follows. In Section 1, we recall the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, Bell polynomials, the degenerate exponential functions, the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, the degenerate Bell polynomials, the Poisson random variable with parameter α, and the Charlier polynomials. In addition, we remind the reader of the Whitney numbers of the first and second kinds, Dowling polynomials, the degenerate Whitney numbers of the second kind, the degenerate Dowling polynomials, the degenerate r-Whitney numbers of the second kind and the degenerate r-Dowling polynomials. Section 2 is the main result of this paper. In the following, assume that X is the Poisson random variable with mean . In Theorem 2.1, we show that the Poisson degenerate central moment
is equal to
, where
is the degenerate Dowling polynomial. In Theorem 2.2, we express the same Poisson degenerate central moment in terms of the degenerate Bell polynomials. In Theorem 2.4, we deduce that
is equal to
, where
is the degenerate r-Dowling polynomial. We express the same in terms of the degenerate Bell polynomials in Corollary 2.5, and of the degenerate r-Whitney numbers of the second kind and the Bell polynomials in Theorem 2.6. Furthermore, it is represented by the Charlier polynomials and the degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind in Theorems 2.10 and 2.11. In the rest of this section, we recall the facts that are needed throughout this paper.

A random variable X is a real valued function defined on a sample space. If X takes any value in a countable set, then X is called a discrete random variable. For a discrete random variable X, the probability mass function of X is defined by

A finite lattice L is geometric if it is a finite semimodular lattice which is also atomic. Dowling constructed an important finite geometric lattice out of a finite set of n elements and a finite group G of order m, called Dowling lattice of rank n over a finite group of order m. If L is the Dowling lattice
of rank n over a finite group G of order m, then the Whitney numbers of the first kind
and the Whitney numbers of the second kind
are respectively denoted by

3. Conclusion
In recent years, studying various degenerate versions of many special polynomials and numbers received regained interests of some mathematicians and many interesting results were discovered. Degenerate Dowling and degenerate r-Dowling polynomials were introduced earlier as degenerate versions and further generalizations of Dowling and r-Dowling polynomials.
Assume that X is the Poisson random variable with mean . We showed that the Poisson degenerate central moment
is equal to
and to an expression involving the degenerate Bell polynomials, respectively in Theorems 2.1 and 2.2. We deduced that
is equal to
in Theorem 2.4. We expressed the same in terms of the degenerate Bell polynomials in Corollary 2.5 and of the degenerate r-Whitney numbers of the second kind and the Bell polynomials in Theorem 2.6. Furthermore, it is represented by the Charlier polynomials and the degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind in Theorems 2.10 and 2.11.
As one of our future projects, we would like to continue to study degenerate versions of certain special polynomials and numbers and their applications to physics, science and engineering as well as mathematics.
