ABSTRACT

Recently, many authors have studied degenerate Bernoulli and degenerate Euler polynomials. Let Y be a random variable whose moment generating function exists in a neighbourhood of the origin. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the probabilistic extension of degenerate Bernoulli and degenerate Euler polynomials, namely the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate Euler polynomials associated with Y. Also, we intoduce the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials associated with Y. We obtain some properties, explicit expressions, recurrence relations and certain identities for those polynomials and numbers. As special cases of Y, we treat the gamma random variable with parameters α,β>0, the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0, and the Bernoulli random variable with probability of success p.

MATHEMATICS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION:

1. Introduction

In Citation[1], Carlitz initiated a study of degenerate versions of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, namely the degenerate Bernoulli and degenerate Euler polynomials. In recent years, a lot of work has been done for various degenerate versions of many special polynomials and numbers. For example, we found the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind and the second kind which turned out to be very important in studying degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers. It is also remarkable that degenerate umbral calculus and degenerate gamma function were developed along the way.

Let Y be a random variable satisfying the moment condition (see (13)). The aim of this paper is to study, as probabilistic extensions of degenerate Bernoulli and degenerate Euler polynomials, the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate Euler polynomials associated with Y, along with the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials associated with Y.

We derive some properties, explicit expressions, certain identities and recurrence relations for those polynomials and numbers. In addition, as special cases of Y, we consider the gamma random variable with parameters α,β>0, the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0, and the Bernoulli random variable with probability of success p.

The outline of this paper is as follows. In Section 1, we recall the degenerate exponentials, the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and the degenerate Euler polynomials. We remind the reader of the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and the second kinds, and the degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind. We recall the degenerate Fubini polynomials and the degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials. Assume that Y is a random variable such that the moment generating function of Y, E[etY]=n=0tnn!E[Yn],(|t|<r), exists for some r>0. Let (Yj)j1 be a sequence of mutually independent copies of the random variable Y, and let Sk=Y1+Y2++Yk,(k1), with S0=0. Then we recall the probabilistic degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y, nkY,λ and the probabilistic degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials associated with Y, Fn,λY(x|y). Section 2 includes the main results of this paper. Let (Yj)j1,Sk,(k=0,1,) be as in the above. We define the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with Y, βn,λY(x) (see (21)). Then we find explicit expressions for those polynomials in Theorems 1, 2 and 6. We get respectively in Theorems 3, 4 and 5 probabilistic degenerate analogues, involving βn,λY(x) and βn,λY=:βn,λY(0), of the well-known identities for Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, namely k=0nkm=1m+1Bm+1(n+1)Bm+1,(n,m0), l=0nnlBlBn=δn,1,(n0), and Bn=dn1k=0d1Bn(kd),(n0,d1). Here δn,1 is the Kronecker’s delta so that it is 1 if n=1 and 0 otherwise. We determine βn,λY when Y is the gamma random variable with parameters α=β=1 (see (19)) in Theorem 8 and the Bernoulli random variable with probability of success p in Theorem 9. In Theorem 7, we obtain an identity involving nkY,λ and βm,λY. Then we define the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y, n+rk+rr,λY and obtain an expression for them in Theorem 10. In Theorem 13, we derive a generalization of the identity in Theorem 7 which involves n+rk+rr,λY and βmY(r). We deduce an explicit expression for Fn,λY(x|y) in Theorem 11 and that for Fn,λY(x|r), (rZ with r0), in Theorem 12. We define the probabilistic degenerate Euler polynomials associated with Y, En,λY(x) (see (45)). We find an explicit expression for En,λY(x) in Theorem 14 and that for En,λY=En,λY(0) in Theorem 15. In Theorem 16, we obtain a probabilistic degenerate analogue, involving En,λY(x) and En,λY, of the well-known identity for Euler numbers and polynomials, namely k=0n(1)kkm=Em+Em(n+1)2, for any even positive integer n. We derive an explicit expression for En,λY when Y is the gamma random variable with parameters α=β=1 in Theorem 17 and that for En,λY(x) when Y is the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0 in Theorem 18. For the rest of this section, we recall the facts that are needed throughout this paper.

For any nonzero λR, the degenerate exponentials are defined by

(1) eλx(t)=k=0(x)k,λk!tk,eλ(t)=eλ1(t),(see[\booklink="cit0001"1\booklink="cit0028"28]),(1)

where

(x)0,λ=1,(x)n,λ=x(xλ)(x2λ)(x(n1)λ),(n1).

Carlitz considered the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials defined by

(2) teλ(t)1eλx(t)=n=0βn,λ(x)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0001"1,\booklink="cit0008"8,\booklink="cit0018"18]).(2)

When x=0, βn,λ=βn,λ(0) are called the degenerate Bernoulli numbers. It is immediate to see from (2) that

(3) βn,λ(x)=k=0nnkβk,λ(x)nk,λ.(3)

Note that limλ0βn,λ(x)=Bn(x),(n0), where Bn(x) are the ordinary Bernoulli polynomials given by

tet1ext=n=0Bn(x)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0001"1\booklink="cit0032"32]).

The degenerate Euler polynomials are defined as

(4) 2eλ(t)+1eλx(t)=n=0En,λ(x)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0001"1,\booklink="cit0013"13,\booklink="cit0014"14,\booklink="cit0018"18]).(4)

When x=0, En,λ=En,λ(0) are called the degenerate Euler numbers. The values of En,λ can be determined from the recurrence relation (see (Kim et al. Citation23)):

(5) k=0n1nk(1)nk,λEk,λ+2En,λ=0,   (n1),   E0,λ=1.(5)

We readily see from (4) that

(6) En,λ(x)=k=0nnkEk,λ(x)nk,λ.(6)

Note that limλ0En,λ(x)=En(x), where En(x) are the ordinary Euler polynomials given by

2et+1ext=n=0En(x)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0003"3,\booklink="cit0024"24,\booklink="cit0025"25,\booklink="cit0029"29]).

It is well known that the Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined as

(7) (x)n=k=0nS1(n,k)xk,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0003"3,\booklink="cit0012"12,\booklink="cit0017"17,\booklink="cit0025"25]),(7)

where

(x)0=1,(x)n=x(x1)(x2)(xn+1),(n1).

As the inversion formula of (7), the Stirling numbers of the second kind are given by

(8) xn=k=0nnk(x)k,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0003"3,\booklink="cit0011"11,\booklink="cit0012"12,\booklink="cit0017"17,\booklink="cit0025"25]).(8)

The degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind are defined by

(9) (x)n,λ=k=0nnkλ(x)k,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0008"8]).(9)

Note that limλ0nkλ=nk,(nk0). The values of nkλ,(nk0) can be determined from the following recurrence relations (see (Kim and Kim Citation14)):

(10) n+1kλ=nk1λ+(k)nkλ,(1kn),(10)
nnλ=1,(n0),n0λ=0,(n1).

Also, the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined by

(11) (x)n=k=0nS1,λ(n,k)(x)k,λ,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0008"8]).(11)

From (9), we can easily see that

k=1nλk1(1)k,1/λnkλ=δ1,n,(nN),

where δn,k is Kronecker's symbol.

Let r be a nonnegative integer. Then the degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind are defined by

(12) (x+r)n,λ=k=0nn+rk+rr,λ(x)k,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0012"12,\booklink="cit0015"15,\booklink="cit0017"17]).(12)

From (12), we note that

(13) 1k!(eλ(t)1)keλr(t)=n=k{n+rk+r}r,λtnn!,(13)

where k is a nonnegative integer.

The degenerate Fubini polynomials are given by

(14) 11x(eλ(t)1)=n=0Fn,λ(x)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0018"18]).(14)

Thus, by (14), we get

(15) Fn,λ(x)=k=0nxknkλk!,(n0),(see[\booklink="cit0018"18]).(15)

The degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials are defined by

(16) 11x(eλ(t)1)eλy(t)=n=0Fn,λ(x|y)tnn!.(16)

Note that Fn,λ(x|0)=Fn,λ(x),(n0).

Assume that Y is a random variable such that the moment generating function of Y

(17) E[etY]=n=0E[Yn]tnn!,(|t|<r),exists for some r>0,(17)

where E stands for the mathematical expectation.

Let (Yk)k1 be a sequence of mutually independent copies the random variable Y, and let Sk=Y1++Yk,(k1) with S0=0.

The probabilistic degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y are defined by

1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k=n=knkY,λtnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0010"10]).

Note that nkY,λ=nkλ if Y=1.

Recently, the probabilistic degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials associated with Y are given by

(18) 11x(E[eλY(t)]1)(E[eλY(t)])y=n=0Fn,λY(x|y)tnn!,(see[\booklink="cit0028"28,\booklink="cit0034"34]).(18)

When y=0, Fn,λY(x)=Fn,λY(x|0) are called the probabilistic degenerate Fubini polynomials associated with Y.

2. Probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli and degenerate Euler polynomials

A continuous random variable Y whose density function is given by

(19) f(y)=βeβy(βy)α1Γ(α),ify0,0,ify<0,(19)

for some α,β>0 is said to be the gamma random variable with parameters α,β, which is denoted by YΓ(α,β), (see (Leon-Garcia Citation26; Simsek Citation33)).

Let (Yk)k1 be a sequence of mutually independent copies of random variable Y, and let

(20) S0=0,Sk=Y1+Y2++Yk,(k1).(20)

We define the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with Y by

(21) tE[eλY(t)]1(E[eλY(t)])x=n=0βn,λY(x)tnn!.(21)

When Y=1, βn,λY(x)=βn,λ(x),(n0).

For x=0, βn,λY=βn,λY(0) are called the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli numbers associated with Y.

From (21), we note that

(22) n=0βn,λY(x)tnn!=tE[eλY(t)]1(E[eλY(t)]1+1)x(22)
=tE[eλY(t)]1+tk=1xk(E[eλY(t)]1)k1
=tE[eλY(t)]1+tk=0(x)k+1k+11k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k
=n=0βn,λYtnn!+tk=0(x)k+1k+1n=knkY,λtnn!
=n=0βn,λYtnn!+tn=0k=0n(x)k+1k+1nkY,λtnn!
=n=0βn,λYtnn!+n=1nk=0n1(x)k+1k+1n1kY,λtnn!.

Thus, by (22), we get

(23) n=1(βn,λY(x)βn,λY)tnn!=n=1nk=0n1(x)k+1k+1n1kY,λtnn!.(23)

Thus, by comparing the coefficients on both sides of (23), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 1

For nN, we have

βn,λY(x)βn,λYn=k=0n1(x)k+1k+1n1kY,λ.

By binomial expansion, we have

(24) (E[eλY(t)])x=(E[eλY(t)]1+1)x=k=0(x)k1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k(24)
=k=0(x)km=kmkY,λtmm!
=m=0(k=0mmkY,λ(x)k)tmm!.

Thus, by (21) and (24), we get

(25) n=0βn,λY(x)tnn!=tE[eλY(t)]1(E[eλY(t)])x(25)
=l=0βl,λYtll!m=0k=0mmkY,λ(x)ktmm!
=n=0m=0nnmβnm,λYk=0mmkY,λ(x)ktnn!.

Therefore, by comparing the coefficients on both sides of (25), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 2.

For n0, we have

βn,λY(x)=m=0nnmβnm,λYk=0mmkY,λ(x)k.

By (21), we get

(26) k=0n(E[eλY(t)])k=1ttE[eλY(t)]1((E[eλY(t)])n+11)(26)
=1t(m=0βm,λY(n+1)tmm!m=0βm,λYtmm!)
=1tm=1βm,λY(n+1)tmm!m=1βm,λYtmm!
=m=0βm+1,λY(n+1)βm+1,λYm+1tmm!.

On the other hand, by (20), we get

(27) k=0n(E[eλY(t)])k=k=0nE[eλY1+Y2++Yk(t)]=k=0nE[eλSk(t)](27)
=m=0(k=0nE[(Sk)m,λ])tmm!.

Therefore, by (26) and (27), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 3.

For n,m0, we have

k=0nE[(Sk)m,λ]=1m+1(βm+1,λY(n+1)βm+1,λY).

From (21), we have

(28) t=l=0βl,λYtll!(E[eλY(t)]1)=l=0βl,λYtll!(m=0E[(Y)m,λ]tmm!1)(28)
=n=0(l=0nnlβl,λYE[(Y)nl,λ]βn,λY)tnn!.

By comparing the coefficients on both sides of (28), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 4.

Let n be a nonnegative integer. Then we have

β0,λYE[Y]=1,l=0nnlE[(Y)nl,λ]βl,λYβn,λY=δn,1.

Let d be a positive integer. Then we have

(29) tE[eλY(t)]1=t(E[eλY(t)])d1k=0d1(E[eλY(t)])k(29)
=tE[eλY1++Yd(t)]1k=0d1((E[eλY(t)])d)kd
=tE[eλSd(t)]1k=0d1(E[eλSd(t)])kd
=n=0k=0d1βn,λSdkdtnn!.

Therefore, by (21) and (29), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 5

Let d be a positive integer. For n0, we have

βn,λY=k=0d1βn,λSd(kd).

Let Y be the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0. We denote this random variable by Pois(α). Then we have

(30) n=0βn,λY(x)tnn!=tE[eλY(t)]1(E[eλY(t)])x(30)
=teα(eλ(t)1)1eαx(eλ(t)1)
=tα(eλ(t)1)α(eλ(t)1)eα(eλ(t)1)1eαx(eλ(t)1)
=1αl=0βl,λtll!m=0βm,λ(x)αm1m!(eλ(t)1)m
=1αl=0βl,λtll!k=0m=0kαmβm,λ(x)kmλtkk!
=n=0k=0nm=0kαm1nkkmλβnk,λβm,λ(x)tnn!.

By comparing the coefficients on both sides of (30), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 6.

Let Y be the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0. Then we have

βn,λY(x)=m=0nk=mnαm1nkkmλβnk,λβm,λ(x),

where n is a nonnegative integer.

From (15), we note that

(31) Fn,λY(y)=k=0nnkY,λk!yk,(n0).(31)

Thus, by (31), we get

(32) n=001Fn,λY(y)dytnn!=0111+y(E[eλY(t)]1)dy(32)
=1E[eλY(t)]1k=1(1)k1kk!1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k
=tE[eλY(t)]11tk=1(1)k1(k1)!m=kmkY,λtmm!
=tE[eλY(t)]11tm=1k=1m(1)k1(k1)!mkY,λtmm!
=l=0βl,λYtll!m=01m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λtmm!
=n=0m=0nnmβnm,λY1m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λtnn!.

Therefore, by (31) and (32), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 7.

For n0, we have

k=0nnkY,λk!k+1(1)k
=m=0nnmβnm,λY1m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λ.

In particular, for Y=1, we have

k=0nnkλk!k+1(1)k=m=0nnmβnm,λ1m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kλ.

Let YΓ(1,1). Then we get

(33) E[eλY(t)]=0eyeλY(t)dy=0ey(11λlog(1+λt))dy(33)
=111λlog(1+λt),(t<1λ(eλ1)).

From (21) and (33), we note that

(34) n=0βn,λYtnn!=tE[eλY(t)]1=λtlog(1+λt)t(34)
=n=0Cnλntnn!t,

where Cn are the Cauchy numbers given by

(35) tlog(1+t)=n=0Cntnn!.(35)

Therefore, by (34), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 8.

For YΓ(1,1), we have

βn,λY=λnCnδ1,n,(n0).

Let Y be the Bernoulli random variable with probability success p. Then we have

(36) E[eλY(t)]=p(eλ(t)1)+1.(36)

From (21) and (36), we note that

(37) n=0βn,λYtnn!=tE[eλY(t)]1=tp(eλ(t)1)(37)
=1pn=0βn,λtnn!.

Therefore, by (37), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 9

Let Y be the Bernoulli random variable with probability success p. Then we have

βn,λY=1pβn,λ,(n0).

Now, we define the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Yas

(38) 1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k(E[eλY(t)])r=n=0n+rk+rr,λYtnn!,(k0),(38)

where r is a nonnegative integer.

When Y=1, we have n+rk+rr,λY=n+rk+rr,λ(nk0).

From (38), we note that

(39) n=0n+rk+rr,λYtnn!=1k!j=0kkj(1)kj(E[eλY(t)])j+r(39)
=1k!j=0kkj(1)kjE[eλY1+Y2++Yj+r(t)]
=n=01k!j=0kkj(1)kjE[(Sj+r)n,λ]tnn!.

Therefore, by (39), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 10.

For nk0, we have

n+rk+rr,λY=1k!j=0kkj(1)kjE[(Sj+r)n,λ].

From (18), we have

(40) n=0Fn,λY(x|y)tnn!=11x(E[eλY(t)]1)(E[eλY(t)]1+1)y(40)
=j=0Fj,λY(x)tjj!k=0ykk!1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k
=j=0Fj,λY(x)tjj!m=0k=0mykk!mkY,λtmm!
=n=0m=0nk=0mk!ykmkY,λnmFnm,λY(x)tnn!.

Therefore, by (40), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 11.

For n0, we have

Fn,λY(x|y)=m=0nk=0mk!ykmkY,λnmFnm,λY(x).

Let r be a nonnegative integer. Then we have

(41) n=0Fn,λY(y|r)tnn!=11y(E[eλY(t)]1)(E[eλY(t)])r(41)
=k=0ykk!1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k(E[eλY(t)])r
=k=0ykk!n=kn+rk+rr,λYtnn!
=n=0k=0nk!ykn+rk+rr,λYtnn!.

Therefore, by (41), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 12.

Let r be a nonnegative integer. Then we have

(42) Fn,λY(y|r)=k=0nk!ykn+rk+rr,λY,(n0).(42)

From (42), we note that

(43) 01Fn,λY(y|r)dy=k=0nk!k+1(1)kn+rk+rr,λY.(43)

By (18), we get

(44) n=001Fn,λY(y|r)dytnn!=0111+y(E[eλY(t)]1)(E[eλY(t)])rdy(44)
=tE[eλY(t)]1(E[eλY(t)])r1tlog(1+E[eλY(t)]1)
=l=0βl,λY(r)tll!1tk=1(1)k1kk!1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k
=l=0βl,λY(r)tll!1tk=1(1)k1(k1)!m=kmkY,λtmm!
=l=0βl,λY(r)tll!m=01m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λtmm!
=n=0m=0nnmβnmY(r)1m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λtnn!.

Therefore, by (43) and (44), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 13.

For n,r0, we have

k=0nk!k+1(1)kn+rk+rr,λY
=m=0nnmβnmY(r)1m+1k=1m+1(1)k1(k1)!m+1kY,λ.

We define the probabilistic degenerate Euler polynomials associated with Y by

(45) 2E[eλY(t)]+1(E[eλY(t)])x=n=0En,λY(x)tnn!.(45)

When Y=1, En,λY(x)=En,λ(x),(n0). For x=0, En,λY=En,λY(0) are called the probabilistic Euler numbers associated with Y.

From (45), we note that

(46) n=0En,λY(x)tnn!=2E[eλY(t)]+1(E[eλY(t)]1+1)x(46)
=2E[eλY(t)]+1k=0(x)k1k!(E[eλY(t)]1)k
=l=0El,λYtll!m=0k=0m(x)kmkY,λtmm!
=n=0m=0nnmEnm,λYk=0mmkY,λ(x)ktnn!.

Therefore, by (46), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 14.

For n0, we have

En,λY(x)=m=0nnmEnm,λYk=0mmkY,λ(x)k.

From (45), we note that

(47) n=0En,λYtnn!=2E[eλY(t)]+1=2k=0(1)k(E[eλY(t)])k(47)
=2k=0(1)kEeλY1++Yk(t)=k=02k=0(1)kE(Sk)n,λtnn!.

Thus, by (47), we get the next result.

Theorem 15.

For n0, we have

En,λY=2k=0(1)kE[(Sk)n,λ].

For nN with n0(mod2), we have

(48) 2k=0n(1)k(E[eλY(t)])k=2E[eλY(t)]+1(1+(E[eλY(t)])n+1)(48)
=m=0(Em,λY+Em,λY(n+1))tnn!.

On the other hand, by (20), we get

(49) 2k=0n(1)k(E[eλY(t)])k=2k=0n(1)kE[eλY1++Yk(t)](49)
=2k=0n(1)km=0E[(Sk)m,λ]tmm!
=m=0(2k=0n(1)kE[(Sk)m,λ])tmm!.

Therefore, by (48) and (49), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 16.

For nN with n0(mod2), we have

k=0n(1)kE[(Sk)m,λ]=Em,λY+Em,λY(n+1)2.

Let YΓ(1,1). Then we have

(50) E[eλY(t)]=111λlog(1+λt),(t<1λ(eλ1)).(50)

Thus, by (45) and (50), we get

(51) n=0En,λYtnn!=2E[eλY(t)]+1=2(11λlog(1+λt))21λlog(1+λt)(51)
=1112λlog(1+λt)212λlog(1+λt)112λlog(1+λt)
=2k=0(12λ)kk!1k!(log(1+λt))k
=2k=0(12λ)kk!n=kS1(n,k)λntnn!
=2n=0(k=0n(12)kλnkk!S1(n,k))tnn!.

Therefore, by (51), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 17.

For YΓ(1,1), we have

En,λY=2δn,0k=0n(12)kk!λnkS1(n,k),(n0).

Let Y be the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0. Then we have

(52) n=0En,λY(x)tnn!=2E[eλY(t)]+1(E[eλY(t)])x=2eα(eλ(t)1)+1eαx(eλ(t)1)(52)
=k=0Ek,λ(x)αkk!(eλ(t)1)k
=k=0Ek,λ(x)αkn=knkλtnn!
=n=0(k=0nαkEn,λ(x)nkλ)tnn!.

Therefore, by (52), we obtain the following theorem.

Theorem 18.

Let Y be the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0. Then we have

En,λY(x)=k=0nαkEk,λ(x)nkλ.

3. Illustrations of En,λY(x) for Y=Pois(α)

We illustrate our results in Theorem 18 for 0n6. By using (5), we get the following values of En,λ, for 0n6:

(53) E0,λ=1,E1,λ=12,E2,λ=12λ,E3,λ=14λ2,(53)
E4,λ=32λ+3λ3,E5,λ=12+35λ2412λ4,E6,λ=15λ2225λ34+60λ5

Then, by using (5), we compute En,λ(x), for 0n6, as in the following:

(54) E0,λ(x)=1,E1,λ(x)=12+x,E2,λ(x)=12λ(1+λ)x+x2,(54)
E3,λ(x)=14λ2+λ(3+2λ)x(32+3λ)x2+x3,
E4,λ(x)=3λ2+3λ2+(1λ2(11+6λ)x+λ(9+11λ)x2(2+6λ)x3+x4,
E5,λ(x)=14(2+35λ248λ4)+2λ(5+λ2(25+12λ))x
52(1+λ)(1+4λ)(1+5λ)x2+5λ(4+7λ)x352(1+4λ)x4+x5,
E6,λ(x)=(154λ(215λ2+16λ4))+(3+85λ2274λ4120λ5)x

+52λ(15+34λ)x43(1+5λ)x5+x6.

Finally, from Theorem 18, (54) and , we obtain En,λY(x), for 0n6, when Y is the Poisson random variable with parameter α (see ):

(55) E0,λY(x)=1,E1,λY(x)=(12+x)α(55)
E2,λY(x)=(12+x)(1λ)α+(x2+12λx(1+λ))α2

4. Conclusion

Let Y be a random variable such that the moment generating function of Y exists in a neighbourhood of the origin. In this paper, we studied by using generating functions probabilistic extensions of several special polynomials, namely the probabilistic degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate Euler polynomials associated with Y, together with the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate two variable Fubini polynomials associated with Y. In more detail, we obtained several explicit expressions for βn,λY(x) (see Theorems 1, 2, 6) and an explicit expression for each of Fn,λY(x|y),Fn,λY(y|r), and En,λY(x) (see Theorems 11, 12, 14). We derived three identities about probabilistic degenerate extensions of well-known identities on Bernoulli numbers and polynomials (see Theorems 3-5). Further, we obtained one identity about probabilistic degenerate extensions of well-known identity on Euler numbers and polynomials (see Theorem 16). We obtained an identity involving nkY,λ and βm,λY in Theorem 7 and a generalization of that identity involving n+rk+rr,λY and βm,λY(r) in Theorem 13. We determined explicit expressions for βn,λY when YΓ(1,1) in Theorem 8 and Y is the Bernoulli random variable with probability of success p in Theorem 9. We found explicit expressions for En,λY when YΓ(1,1) in Theorem 17 and Y is the Poisson random variable with parameter α>0 in Theorem 18. We deduced an explicit expression for n+rk+rr,λY in Theorem 10.

As one of our future projects, we would like to continue to study probabilistic versions of many special polynomials and numbers and to find their applications to physics, science and engineering as well as to mathematics
