Some new families of generalized Euler and Genocchi polynomials (Q636078)

The paper is devoted to study the generalized Euler polynomial \(\mathfrak{E}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\) of order \(\alpha\) defined by the generating function \[ \left(\frac{2}{\lambda b^t+a^t}\right)^{\alpha}\cdot c^{xt} =\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\mathfrak{E}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c){\frac{t^n}{n!}}, \] which yields the usual Euler polynomial \(E_n(x)\) by letting \(\alpha=\lambda=1\), \(a=1\) and \(b=c=e\). This is an analogue of the generalized Bernoulli polynomial \(\mathfrak{B}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\) introduced by the authors in the previous work. In this paper, several fundamental properties of \(\mathfrak{E}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\) are established. In particular, the authors obtain expressions of \(\mathfrak{E}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\) in terms of the generalized Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function \(\Phi^{*}_{\mu}(z,s,a)\) at \(s=-n\) and a series involving the Gaussian hypergeometric functions. Finally, similar discussions on the generalized Genocchi polynomial \(\mathfrak{G}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\), which is defined in the same manner as \(\mathfrak{E}^{(\alpha)}_n(x;\lambda;a,b,c)\), are performed.
