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.enbasic (or q-) hypergeometric serieshomogeneous q-difference operatorq-binomial theoremcauchy polynomialsAl-Salam-Carlitz q-polynomialsrogers type formulasSrivastava-Agarwal type generating functionsArticleDepartment of Mathematics and Statistics
