Abstract
Basic (or q-) series and basic (or q-) polynomials, especially the basic (or q-) hypergeometric
functions and the basic (or q-) hypergeometric polynomials are studied extensively and widely due
mainly to their potential for applications in many areas of mathematical and physical sciences. Here,
in this paper, we introduce a general family of q-hypergeometric polynomials and investigate several
q-series identities such as an extended generating function and a Srivastava-Agarwal type bilinear
generating function for this family of q-hypergeometric polynomials. We give a transformational
identity involving generating functions for the generalized q-hypergeometric polynomials which
we have introduced here. We also point out relevant connections of the various q-results, which
we investigate here, with those in several related earlier works on this subject. We conclude this
paper by remarking that it will be a rather trivial and inconsequential exercise to give the so-called
(p, q)-variations of the q-results, which we have investigated here, because the additional parameter
p is obviously redundant.
