Advances in Difference Equations volume 2020, Article number: 311 (2020)
Abstract
In this paper, we study a degenerate version of the Daehee polynomials and numbers, namely the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers, which were actually called the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers of the third kind and recently introduced by Jang et al. (J. Comput. Appl. Math. 364:112343, 2020). We derive their explicit expressions and some identities involving them. Further, we introduce the multiple degenerate Daehee numbers and higher-order degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers which can be represented in terms of integrals on the unitcube. Again, we deduce their explicit expressions and some identities related to them.
1 Introduction
The degenerate versions of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, namely the degenerate Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, were studied by Carlitz in [1]. In recent years, studying various degenerate versions of some special polynomials and numbers drew attention of some mathematicians and many arithmetic and combinatorial results were obtained [4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 15–17, 19, 20]. They can be explored by using various tools like combinatorial methods, generating functions, differential equations, umbral calculus techniques, p-adic analysis, and probability theory.
The aim of this paper is to study a degenerate version of the Daehee polynomials and numbers, namely the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers, in the spirit of [1]. They were actually called the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers of the third kind and recently introduced by Jang et al. in [4]. We derive their explicit expressions and some identities involving them. Further, we introduce the multiple degenerate Daehee numbers and higher-order degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers. Again, we deduce their explicit expressions and some identities related to them.
This paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 1, we state what we need in the rest of the paper. These include the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, the higher-order Bernoulli polynomials, the higher-order Daehee polynomials, the higher-order degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, the degenerate exponential functions, and the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. In Sect. 2, we recall the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers (of the third kind) from [4] whose generating functions can be expressed in terms of integrals on the unit interval. We find their explicit expressions and some identities involving them. We also introduce the multiple degenerate Daehee numbers, the generating function of which can be expressed in terms of a multiple integral on the unitcube or of the modified polyexponential function [7]. We deduce an explicit expression of them and some identities involving them. In Sect. 3, we introduce the higher-order degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers whose generating function can be represented as a multiple integral on the unitcube. We derive their explicit expressions and some identities relating to them. Finally, we conclude this paper in Sect. 4.
For \(n \ge 0\), the Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined by
where \((x)_{0} = 1\), \((x)_{n} = x(x-1)\cdots (x-n+1)\), \((n \geq 1)\).
As an inversion formula of (1.1), the Stirling numbers of the second kind are defined as
For \(\alpha \in \mathbb{N}\), the Bernoulli polynomials of order α are defined as
\(B_{n}(x) = B_{n}^{(1)}(x)\) are called the Bernoulli polynomials and \(B^{(\alpha )}_{n} = B^{(\alpha )}_{n}(0)\) the Bernoulli numbers of order α.
The Daehee polynomials are defined by
For \(x=0\), \(D_{n} = D_{n}(0)\) are called the Daehee numbers.
Recently, Jang–Kim–Kwon–Kim studied some new results on degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers of the third kind (see [4]).
That is, they derived a new integral representation for the degenerate Daehee number and polynomials, the higher-order λ-Daehee numbers and polynomials, and the higher-order twisted λ-Daehee numbers and polynomials (see [4]).
The Daehee polynomials of order k are defined by
In [9], we note that
where \(b_{n}^{(x)}\) are the higher-order Bernoulli numbers of the second kind given by
Recently, Daehee numbers and polynomials have been studied by many researchers in various areas (see [2, 3, 6, 9–11, 14, 15, 18, 21–34]).
In [1], Carlitz considered the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials given by
When \(x=0\), \(\beta _{n,\lambda } = \beta _{n,\lambda }(0)\) are called the degenerate Bernoulli numbers. For \(r \in \mathbb{N}\), he also defined the higher–order degenerate Bernoulli polynomials as
When \(x=0\), \(\beta _{n,\lambda }^{(r)} = \beta _{n,\lambda }^{(r)}(0)\) are called the degenerate Bernoulli numbers of order r.
The degenerate exponential functions are given by
We note that
where \((x)_{0,\lambda } = 1\), \((x)_{n,\lambda } = x(x-\lambda )\cdots (x-(n-1)\lambda )\)\((n \ge 1)\).
Note that \(\lim_{\lambda \to 0} e_{\lambda }^{x}(t) = e^{xt}\), \(\lim_{\lambda \to 0}\beta ^{(r)}_{n,\lambda }(x) = B_{n}^{(r)}(x)\).
Recently, Kim considered the degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind given by
Note that \(\lim_{\lambda \to 0}S_{2,\lambda }(n,l) = S_{2}(n,l)\).
From (1.12), we note that
As an inversion formula of (1.12), the Stirling numbers of the first kind are defined by
We see that \(\log _{\lambda }(t)=\frac{1}{\lambda }(t^{\lambda }-1)\) is the compositional inverse of \(e_{\lambda }(t)\) satisfying \(\log _{\lambda }(e_{\lambda }(t)) = e_{\lambda }(\log _{\lambda }(t)) = t\).
By (1.14), we get
Note that \(\lim_{\lambda \to 0}\log _{\lambda }(1+t) = \log (1+t)\).

Theorem 2.2
For\(n \ge 0\), we have
Note that
To find the inversion formula of Theorem 2.2, we replace t by \(\log _{\lambda }(1+t)\) in (1.8) and get

For \(s \in \mathbb{C}\), the polyexponential function is defined by Hardy as
In [7], the modified polyexponential function is introduced as
Note that x\(e(x,1|k) = \mathrm{Ei}_{k}(x)\).
We observe that
Thus, by (2.11), we get
From (2.12), we can derive the following equation:
Now, we define the multiple degenerate Daehee numbers as the multiple integral on the unitcube given by
Then, by (2.13) and (2.14), we get
Note that \(\widehat{D}_{n,\lambda }^{(1)} = D_{n,\lambda }\)\(( n \ge 0)\).
We observe that

For\(n \ge 0\), we have
3 Higher-order degenerate Daehee numbers and polynomials
As an additive version of (2.14), we consider the degenerate Daehee polynomials of order r given by the following multiple integral on the unit cube:
When \(x=0\), \(D_{n,\lambda }^{(r)} = D_{n,\lambda }^{(r)}(0)\)\((n \ge 0)\), are called the degenerate Daehee numbers of order r.
From (3.1), we note that
Therefore, by comparing the coefficients on both sides of (3.2), we obtain the following theorem.
Theorem 3.1
For\(n \ge 0\), we have
By replacing t by \(e_{\lambda }(t)-1\) in (3.1), we get
On the other hand,

Theorem 3.2
For\(n \ge 0\), we have
By replacing t by \(\log _{\lambda }(1+t)\) in (1.9), we get

Theorem 3.3
For\(n \ge 0\), we have
From (3.1), we note that
By (3.7), we get
On the other hand, by (3.2), we get
Therefore, by comparing the coefficients on both sides of (3.9), we obtain the following theorem.

4 Conclusion
In the spirit of [1], we studied the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers which were actually called the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers of the third kind and recently introduced by Jang et al. in [4]. We derived their explicit expressions and some identities involving them. Further, we introduced the multiple degenerate Daehee numbers and higher-order degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers and deduced their explicit expressions and some identities related to them.
The possible applications of our results are as follows. The first one is their applications to identities of symmetry. For example, in [13] many symmetric identities in three variables, related to degenerate Euler polynomials and alternating generalized falling factorial sums, were obtained. The second one is their applications to differential equations from which we can derive some useful identities. For example, in [12] an infinite family of nonlinear differential equations, having the generating function of the degenerate Bernoulli numbers as a solution, were derived. As a result, an identity, involving the degenerate Bernoulli and higher-order degenerate Bernoulli numbers, were obtained. Similar things had been done for the degenerate Euler numbers. The third one is their applications to probability theory. Indeed, in [19] it was shown that both the degenerate λ-Stirling polynomials of the second and the r-truncated degenerate λ-Stirling polynomials of the second kind appear in certain expressions of the probability distributions of appropriate random variables.
Finally, it is one of our future projects to continue to study various degenerate versions of some special polynomials and their applications to mathematics, science and engineering.
We studied the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers which are different from the degenerate Daehee polynomials and numbers of the third kind introduced by Jang et al. [4].
