An extension of bilateral generating functions of modified Laguerre polynomials (Q805828)

The authors establish the following bilateral generating function of the modified Laguerre polynomials and claims that it is the extension of their previous result (can be obtained by putting \(k=0).\) If \(G(x,w)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}a_ nL_{a,b,m,n+k}(x)w^ n\), then \[ (1-wb)^{-m-k} \exp (-wax/(1-wb))G(x/(1-wb),wz/(1- wb))=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\sigma_ n(z)L_{a,b,m,n+k}(x)w^ n, \] where, \(\sigma_ n(z)=\sum^{n}_{p=0}a_ p\left( \begin{matrix} n+k\\ p+k\end{matrix} \right)z^ p\). To prove it they take the help of the linear partial differential operator \[ bxy\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+by^ 2\frac{\partial}{\partial y}+y\{b(m+k)-ax\}. \]
