    For κN0,uC, with u1, the Frobenius–Euler polynomials H(κ)r(x;u) of order κ, are defined by the generating function as follows (by (see e.g., [4,14] and the references therein):

    (1uezu)κexz=r=0H(κ)r(x;u)zrr!,|z|<|log(u)|.

    When κ=1, H(1)r(x;u):=Hr(x;u) is called the r-th Frobenius–Euler polynomials. In the special case where κ=1 and u=1, Hr(x;1):=Er(x) denotes Euler polynomials (see [17] and the references therein).

    A remarkable amount of research has been done on polynomial families and their various extensions (see, for example, [6,8,18,21,22]). The introduction of new generalizations has been accompanied by the establishment of several fundamental properties, recurrence formulas, differential equations, and relationships between these polynomials and other families of numbers and polynomials.

    The polynomials FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ) represent an intriguing blend of two classes of special functions: the hypergeometric Euler polynomials and the Frobenius–Euler polynomials. The notable presence of these polynomial families across diverse fields, including physical mathematics, information theory, combinatorics, approximation theory, number theory, numerical analysis, and partial differential equations, is well-documented and widely recognized. The significance of investigating the properties of the polynomials FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ) lies in their fundamental role in mathematical analysis, number theory, and applied sciences. These polynomials generalize various well-known polynomial families, providing deeper insights into their structural properties, recurrence relations, and differential equations. Here are some key aspects of their significance:

    Unification and generalization. The study connects the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials with well-established families, such as the Stirling numbers, Apostol–Bernoulli, Apostol–Euler, Apostol–Genocchi polynomials, and classical polynomials like Fubini, Bernstein, and Hermite polynomials. This broader framework allows for new interpretations and extensions of known results.

    Structural properties and recurrence relations. Establishing recurrence relations and differential equations associated with these polynomials is crucial for their computational efficiency and theoretical applications. These relations provide a foundation for deriving explicit formulas and generating functions, which are instrumental in various mathematical fields.

    Connection with other special functions and polynomials. The exploration of connection formulas highlights the interplay between different polynomial families. Such connections often lead to new combinatorial identities, algebraic properties, and functional equations, which can be applied in diverse mathematical and engineering problems.

    Zero distribution and graphical applications. The graphical representation and analysis of the zeros of these polynomials offer insights into their asymptotic behavior and structural patterns. Understanding the distribution of zeros is crucial in approximation theory, spectral analysis, and numerical methods.

    Applications in mathematical and applied fields. The study of these polynomials can have implications in combinatorial mathematics, quantum physics, and numerical analysis. Their recurrence relations and differential properties may lead to new results in solving differential equations, signal processing, and optimization problems.

    Thus, the investigation of these polynomials enriches the theory of special functions, providing new tools and results that contribute to both theoretical mathematics and practical applications.

    The objective of this study is to investigate a number of properties of the polynomials FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ), including their connection formulas and the distribution of their zeros. The organization of this paper is as follows: In Section 2, we provide definitions and review previous results concerning Stirling numbers of the second kind, as well as generalized Apostol–Bernoulli, Apostol–Euler, Apostol–Genocchi polynomials of level m, and the Fubini, Bernstein, and Hermite polynomials. Section 3 delves into several properties of the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials, their recurrence relations, and differential equations. Section 4 presents various formulas establishing connections with other families of numbers and polynomials. Finally, Section 5 presents the graphical application for the polynomials so that the zeros of the function and how the nets are formed for different n can be studied.

    Throughout this paper, adherence is observed to the following standard conventions: The set of natural numbers is denoted by N=1,2,3, The set of non-negative integers is denoted by N0=0,1,2, represents the set of non-negative integers; Z refers to the set of integers; R denotes the set of real numbers, and C stands for the set of complex numbers. When referring to the complex logarithm, we adopt the principal branch, and for expressions of the form w=zκ, we denote the single branch of the multi-valued function w=zκ such that 1κ=1.

    The Stirling numbers S(r,s) of the second kind are defined by (see [19, p. 78]):

    (ez1)ss!=r=sS(r,s)zrr!,zr=rs=0S(r,s)z(z1)(zs+1), (2.1)

    so that

    S(r,1)=S(r,r)=1,S(r,r1)=(r2).

    On the other hand, Açíkgöz et al. [2, Eq (2.12)] defined the generalized (p,q)–Stirling numbers S[m1]p,q(r;k;γ) of the second kind by means of the generating function

    (γezp,qm1h=0zh[h]p,q!)υ[υ]p,q!=r=0S[m1]p,q(r;υ;γ)zr[r]p,q!,

    when qp=1, we obtain

    (γezm1h=0zhh!)υυ!=r=0S[m1](r;υ;γ)zrr!. (2.2)

    Note that, when m=γ=1, the above expression reduces to Eq (2.1).

    The generating function of the two-variable Fubini polynomials is given by (see [13]):

    exz1y(ez1)=r=0Fr(x;y)zrr!.

    Note that Fr(0;y):=Fr(y) and Fr(0;1):=Fr.

    The Bernstein polynomials Bs,r(x), of degree r, are defined by employing the following generating function (see [1,3]):

    (zx)ss!e(1x)z=r=sBs,r(x)zrr!,sN0, (2.3)

    where

    Bs,r(x)=(rs)xs(1x)rs.

    For mathematical convention, we usually set Bs,r(x)=0 if s>r.

    The generating function of the ordinary Hermite polynomials is defined by (see [10]):

    e2xzz2=r=0Hr(x)zrr!,

    so that

    Hr(x)=r![r2]s=0(1)s(2x)r2s(r2s)!s!,

    where [r2] is the truncated part of r2.

    Let γC,κN0, a,cR+ the generalized Apostol–Euler E[m1,κ]r(x;c,a;γ) polynomials of order κ, are defined respectively (cf. [5,7,15]):

    r=0E[m1,κ]r(x;c,a;γ)zrr!=(2mγcz+m1h=0(zlna)hh!)κcxz. (2.4)

    When c=a=e, we arrive at the following:

    E[m1,κ]r(x;e,e;γ):=E[m1,κ]r(x;γ).

    Recently, Quintana et al. [9] introduced some properties and recurrence formula of generalized Euler polynomials E[m1]r(x) of level m. Also, they provided the following expression:

    ez+m1h=0zhh!=n=0(1+ar,m)zrr!,

    where

    ar,m={1,if 0r<m,0,if rm.

    Motivated by these papers, we define the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials of order κ and level m.

    Definition 3.1. For a fixed mN, κ,rN0, γC,uC{1}, the generalized Apostol-type Forbenius–Euler polynomials of order κ and level m are defined by the following generating function, in a suitable neighborhood of z=0:

    ((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κexz=r=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!. (3.1)

    Upon setting x=0 in (3.1), we have

    FEr[m1,κ](0;u;γ):=FEr[m1,κ](u;γ),

    called the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler numbers of order κ and level m.

    Taking u=1 in (3.1), we obtain the generalized Apostol–Euler polynomials E[m1,κ]r(x;c,a;γ); when c=a=e. Compare [15, p. 55],

    FEr[m1,κ](x;1;γ)=E[m1,κ]r(x;e,e;γ):=E[m1,κ]r(x;γ).

    According to Definition 3.1, we remark that

    FEr[m1,1](x;u;γ):=FEr[m1](x;u;γ),FEr[0,κ](x;u;γ):=FEr(κ)(x;u;γ):=H(κ)r(x;u;γ),FEr[0,1](x;u;γ):=FEr(x;u;γ):=Hr(x;u;γ).

    For example, the first four generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials of order κ and level m=3 are:

    FE0[2,κ](x;u;γ)=(1u)3κ(γu)κ,FE1[2,κ](x;u;γ)=(xκ)(1u)3κ(γu)κ,FE2[2,κ](x;u;γ)=(xκ)2(1u)3κ(γu)κ,FE3[2,κ](x;u;γ)=[(uκ3γκ3uκ)+(3κ2γ3κ2u)x+(3κu3κγ)x2+(γu)x3](1u)3κ(γu)κ+1.

    Upon setting κ=γ=1 and u=1 above, we obtain the first four generalized Euler polynomials of level m=3 (see [9, p. 47]).

    Performing some manipulations on the generating function (3.1), we have

    ((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κexz=((1u)m2m(u))κ(2m(γu)ez+m1l=0zll!)κexz,

    and thus,

    FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=((1u)m2m(u))κE[m1,κ]r(x,γu).

    The proposition 3.1 provides some properties of the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ) without proofs since they can easily be proved through Definition 3.1.

    Proposition 3.1. For a fixed mN, let {FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)}r=0 be the sequence of the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials, of order κ and level m. Then the following identities hold true:

    (1) Special value. For every rN0

    FEr[m1,0](x;u;γ)=xr. (3.2)

    (2) Summation formula. For every rN0

    FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](u;γ)xk.

    (3) Differential relation. For a fixed mN, κ,γC and r,jN0 with 0jr, we have

    DxFEr+1[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=(r+1)FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ),
    D(j)xFEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=r!(rj)!FErj[m1,κ](x;u;γ). (3.3)

    (4) Integral formula. For a fixed mN, κ,γC, we have

    x1x0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)dx=FEr+1[m1,κ](x1;u;γ)FEr+1[m1,κ](x0;u;γ)(r+1).

    (5) Addition theorems.

    FEr[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ)ys, (3.4)
    FEr[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FEs[m1,κ](u;γ)(x+y)rs.

    Setting y=1 in (3.4), we have

    FEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ).

    (6) Addition theorems of the argument.

    FEr[m1,κ±β](x+y;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ)FEs[m1,±β](y;u;γ).

    (7) We have

    E[m1]r(x;γ)=2mγm1(γ+1)mFEr[m1](x;γ1;1).

    Proposition 3.2. The generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials satisfy the following inversion formula:

    xr=1(1u)mrs=0(rs)(γuas,m)FErs[m1](x;u;γ), (3.5)

    where

    as,m={1,if0s<m,0,ifsm.

    Proof. Setting κ=1 in (3.1), we have

    (1u)mexz=(γezum1l=0zll!)(r=0FEr[m1](x;u;γ)zrr!)=(r=0(γuar,m)zrr!)(r=0FEr[m1](x;u;γ)zrr!),

    therefore,

    (1u)mr=0xrzrr!=r=0rs=0(rs)(γuas,m)FErs[m1](x;u;γ)zrr!.

    By comparing the coefficients of zrr! on both sides, we obtain the result.

    Proposition 3.3. The generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials satisfy the following relations:

    γFEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)umin(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=(1u)mFEr[m1,κ1](x;u;γ), (3.6)
    γFEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)umin(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x1;u;γ)=(1u)mFEr[m1,κ1](x1;u;γ). (3.7)

    Upon setting κ=1, in (3.6), we give the following corollary.

    Corollary 3.1.

    xr=1(1u)m[γrs=0(rs)FEk[m1](x;u;γ)umin(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1](x;u;γ)].

    Proof. (3.6). We have

    r=0(γFEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)umin(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ))zrr!=γr=0FEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)zrr!ur=0min(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!=γr=0FEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)zrr!um1l=0zll!r=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!.

    Now, using (3.1), we obtain

    γr=0FEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)zrr!um1l=0zll!r=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!=γ((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κe(x+1)zum1l=0zll!((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κexz=((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κexz(γezum1l=0zll!)=(1u)m((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κ1exz,

    thus

    (1u)m((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κ1exz=(1u)mr=0FEr[m1,κ1](x;u;γ)zrr!.

    Comparing the coefficients of zrr!, we obtain (3.6).

    Proof. For the proof of (3.7), a similar scheme to the previous one is used.

    Theorem 3.1. The generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials satisfy the following relation, with u1:

    γFEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)uFEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)(1u)=rs=0(rs)FEk[m1,κ](x;u;γ)FErs(1)(u;γ).

    Proof.

    r=0(γFEr[m1,κ](x+1;u;γ)uFEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ))zrr!=γezr=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!ur=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!=r=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!(γezu)=(1u)r=0FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!r=0FEr[0,1](u;γ)zrr!.

    Applying the Cauchy product in the above equation and comparing the coefficients of zrr! on both sides, we obtain the proof.

    Theorem 3.2. The generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials satisfy the following identity:

    γFEr[m1](x+1;u;γ)umin(r,m1)s=0(rs)FErs[m1](x;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)(γuas,m)×FErs[m1](x;u;γ),

    where

    as,m={1,if 0s<m,0,if sm.

    Proof. To prove Theorem 3.2, it is enough to use Definition 3.1 and perform the necessary mathematical calculations, which lead directly to the desired result.

    Theorem 3.3. The following implicit summation formula for the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials holds true:

    FEs+l[m1,κ](w+y;u;γ)=s,lr,n=0(sr)(ln)(wx)r+nFEs+lrn[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ). (3.8)

    Proof. From (3.1), we have

    ((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)κe(x+y)z=r=0FEr[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zrr!,

    substituting z by z+a in the above equation, we obtain

    ((1u)mγe(z+a)um1l=0(z+a)ll!)κex(z+a)ey(z+a)=r=0FEr[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)(z+a)rr!.

    Now, using the following formula [20, p. 52]:

    N=0f(N)(x+y)NN!=s,lf(s+l)xsyls!l!, (3.9)

    we obtain

    ((1u)mγe(z+a)um1l=0(z+a)ll!)κey(z+a)=ex(z+a)s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!.

    Replacing x by w in the above equation and equating the resultant equation to the above equation, we obtain

    e(wx)(z+a)s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!=s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](w+y;u;γ)zsals!l!,N=0(wx)N(z+a)NN!s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!=s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](w+y;u;γ)zsals!l!. (3.10)

    Recalling (3.9), the left-hand side of (3.10) becomes

    N=0(wx)N(z+a)NN!s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!=r,n=0(wx)r+nzranr!n!s,l=0FEs+l[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!=s,l=0s,lr,n=0(wx)r+nr!n!FEsr+ln[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsal(sr)!(ln)!=s,l=0s,lr,n=0(sr)(ln)(wx)r+nFEs+lrn[m1,κ](x+y;u;γ)zsals!l!.

    Comparing coefficients, we get the assertion (3.8).

    Theorem 3.4. The following relation for the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials holds true:

    (2u1)rj=0min(j,m1)s=0(rj)(js)FErj[m1](u;γ)FEjs[m1](x;1u;γ)=umFEr[m1](x;u;γ)(1u)mFEr[m1](x,1u;γ). (3.11)

    Proof. We set

    (2u1)(1u)mumexzm1l=0zll!(γezum1l=0zll!)(γez(1u)m1l=0zll!)=(1u)mumexz(γezum1l=0zll!)(1u)mumexz(γez(1u)m1l=0zll!). (3.12)

    On the left-hand side of (3.12), we deduce

    (2u1)(1u)mumexzm1l=0zll!(γezum1l=0zll!)(γez(1u)m1l=0zll!)=(2u1)(1u)mm1l=0zll!(γezum1l=0zll!)(1(1u))mexz(γez(1u)m1l=0zll!)=(2u1)r=0rj=0(rj)FErj[m1](u;γ)min(j,m1)s=0(js)FEjs[m1](x;1u;γ)zrr!.

    On the right-hand side of (3.12), we obtain

    (1u)mumexz(γezum1l=0zll!)(1u)mumexz(γez(1u)m1l=0zll!)=umr=0FEr[m1](x;u;γ)zrr!(1u)mr=0FEr[m1](x;1u;γ)zrr!=r=0(umFEr[m1](x;u;γ)(1u)mFEr[m1](x;1u;γ))zrr!.

    Comparing coefficients yields (3.11).

    Theorem 3.5. For the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials, we have the following recurrence relation:

    FEr+1[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=(xκ)FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)uκr!(1u)m(m1)!(r+1m)!×FEr+1m[m1,κ+1](x;u;γ). (3.13)

    Upon setting m=γ=1 and u=1 in (3.13), we obtain:

    E(κ)r+1(x)=(xκ)E(κ)r(x)+κ2E(κ+1)r(x),

    where E(κ)r+1(x), is the Euler polynomial of order κ and degree r+1 (see [11, p. 3258]).

    Proof. Let us consider the following generating function

    G[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)=((1u)mγezum1h=0zhh!)κexz.

    Then, the differentiation of both sides of the above equation

    zG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)=κ((1u)mγezum1k=0zhh!)κ1[(1u)m(γezum2k=0zhh!)(γezum1h=0zhh!)2]exz+x((1u)mγezum1h=0zhh!)κexz=(xκ)G[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)uκzmG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)G[m1](0;z;u;γ)(1u)m(m1)!z,

    and consequently

    (1u)m(m1)!zzG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)=(1u)m(m1)!z(xκ)G[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)uκzmG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)G[m1](0;z;u;γ). (3.14)

    Now, differentiating with respect to z on the right-hand side of (3.1) and using (3.14), we obtain

    (1u)m(m1)!zzG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)=(1u)m(m1)!r=0rFEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!. (3.15)

    On the other hand, we have

    (1u)m(m1)!z(xκ)G[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)=(1u)m(m1)!(xκ)×r=0rFEr1[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr! (3.16)

    and

    uκzmG[m1,κ](x;z;u;γ)G[m1](0;z;u;γ)=uκr=mr!(rm)!rms=0(rms)FErms[m1](u;γ)FEs[m1,κ](x;u;γ)zrr!. (3.17)

    Substitution of (3.15)–(3.17) into (3.14) and equating coefficients of power series on both sides, the proof is complete.

    Theorem 3.6. For the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials, we have the following differential equation:

    [(xκ)Dxuκ(1u)m(m1)!r+1ms=0FEr+1ms[m1](u;γ)(r+1ms)!Drs+1xr]×FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=0. (3.18)

    Proof. Applying the factorization method (see [12,16]) and using (3.3), we can rewrite (3.13) as follows:

    FEr+1[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=[(xκ)uκ(1u)m(m1)!r+1ms=0FEr+1ms[m1](u;γ)(r+1ms)!Dnkx]×FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ). (3.19)

    Therefore, the operator

    L+r,m=[(xκ)uκ(1u)m(m1)!r+1ms=0FEr+1ms[m1](u;γ)(r+1ms)!Drsx],

    where

    Drsx:=drsdxrs.

    Now, applying the operator Lr+1:=1r+1Dx on both sides of (3.19), we have

    (Lr+1L+r,m)FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ).

    Finally, after some rearrangements of terms, we achieve the desired result.

    In this section, we present some formulas connecting the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials with generalized Stirling numbers of the second kind, the two-variable Fubini polynomials, Bernstein polynomials, and Hermite polynomials.

    Theorem 4.1. Let mN, υ,jN0. The following relations are demonstrated between the generalized Frobenius with Euler polynomials of the Apostol type and the generalized Stirling numbers of the second kind:

    xn=υ!(u(1u)m)υrj=0(rj)FEj[m1,υ](x;u;γ)S[m1](rj,υ,γu), (4.1)
    FEr[m1,κυ](x;u;γ)=υ!(u(1u)m)υrj=0(rj)FEj[m1,κ](x;u;γ)S[m1](rj,υ,γu). (4.2)

    Proof. (4.1). Indeed,

    ((1u)mγezum1l=0zll!)υexz=r=0FEr[m1,υ](x;u;γ)zrr!,
    exz=r=0FEr[m1,υ](x;u;γ)zrr!(γezum1l=0zll!)υ(υ!υ!(1u)mυ)=υ!r=0FEr[m1,υ](x;u;γ)zrr!(γuezm1l=0zll!)υυ!(u(1u)m)υ.

    Now, using (2.2), we have

    r=0xrzrr!=υ!(u(1u)m)υr=0FEr[m1,υ](x;u;γ)zrr!r=0S[m1](r;υ;γu)zrr!=υ!(u(1u)m)υr=0rj=0(rj)FEj[m1,υ](x;u;γ)S[m1](rj;υ;γu)zrr!.

    Finally, comparing the coefficients, we obtain the assertion (4.1).

    Corollary 4.1. We have

    FEr[m1,υ](x;u;γ)=υ!(u(1u)m)υrj=0(rj)S[m1](rj,υ,γu)xj.

    Proof. If we set κ=0 in (4.2) and use Eq (3.2), we complete the proof of the corollary.

    Proposition 4.1. Let mN and rN0. The following relationships have been established between the generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials and the two-variable Fubini polynomials, the Bernstein polynomials, the Stirling polynomials of the second kind of level m, and the Hermite polynomials:

    FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=rs=0(rs)FErs[m1,κ](u;γ)[(1+w)Fs(x,w)wFs(x+1,w)],Bs,r(x)=xsrsn=0(rsn)(rs)FErsn[m1,υ](u;γ)FEn[m1,υ](1x;u;γ),Br,s(x)=xsυ!(u(1u)m)υrsj=0(rsj)(rs)FErsj[m1,κ](1x;u;γ)S[m1](j;υ,γu),FEr[m1,κ](x;u;γ)=[r2]s=0r2sj=0(r2sj)(r2s)(2s)!s!FEj[m1,κ](u;γ)Hr2sj(x2).

    This section presents an application due to the zero distributions of this new class of generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials.

    To study the zero distributions using (3.1) and Mathematica Wolfram, we show the zero patterns. We show plots of zero distributions; to plot these, we give values to the coefficients of the Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials {m3,u2,κ2,γ4}, and the equation used is:

    exz(4ez2(1+z+z22))2. (5.1)

    We give values for n (10, 20, 30, 50), and we have the plots.

    In Figure 1 the plots are organized as 1(a) black dots for 10 points, in 1(b) blue dots for 20 points, in 1(c) red dots for 30 points, and 1(d) green dots for 50 points, the shape of these plots seems like a fish. At the same time, as we increase the dots, we can see a more defined shape, and in the plot 1(d), here we see two dots around (-10, -20) and (-10, 20).

    Figure 1.  Roots of Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler generalized polynomials, plotted considering 10, 20, 30, and 50 points.

    Another interesting application is the induced mesh of generalized Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials for different numbers of n (3.1) FEr[m1,κ]=0.

    In Figure 2, we show four graphs representing the mesh distribution by z-coefficient equal to 10, 20, 30 and 50, respectively. As we increase the z-value, we notice that it forms a cone shaped. In Figure 2(a), there are black dots for 10 points, and in Figure 2(d) green dots for 50 points, we see a more defined mesh shape.

    Figure 2.  Mesh distribution of Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler generalized polynomials, plotted considering 10, 20, 30 and 50 points.

    Then, based on the Apostol-type Frobenius–Euler polynomials. We computed an approximate solution that satisfies them, FEr[m1,κ] for n=2,3,...,10. The results are presented in Table 1.

    This paper introduces a novel category of generalized Apostol-type Frobenius with Euler polynomials and investigates their intricate mathematical properties in detail using generating function techniques. A significant contribution of this study is the establishment of their associated differential equation through the factorization method, complemented by the formulation of a recurrence relation for these polynomials. Furthermore, the study derives several correlation formulas that establish a connection between these generalized polynomials and classical special functions, including the Bernstein, Fubini, and Hermite polynomials.

    Moreover, graphical representations are provided by analysing the behavior of polynomial zeros and visualising their networks for specific values of n. These graphs offer insights into the structure and behavior of the polynomials and demonstrate their practical utility in modeling and numerical computations.

    The results presented in this paper establish a solid foundation for future explorations. In the field of approximation theory, these generalized polynomials have the potential to enhance the efficacy of techniques such as spectral methods, orthogonal expansions, and the approximation of complex functions. Similarly, their associations with special polynomials demonstrate fascinating avenues for the advancement of number theory, particularly concerning modular forms, integer sequences, and combinatorial identities. Finally, the factorization and recurrence approaches adopted here could inspire new developments in classical analysis and symbolic computation, rendering these polynomials a promising tool for further interdisciplinary research.
