In the present paper, we have obtained hypergeometric generating relations associated with two hypergeometric polynomials of one variable
and
with their independent demonstrations via Gould's identity. As applications, some well known and new generating relations are deduced. Using bounded sequences, further generalizations of two main hypergeometric generating relations have also been given for two generalized polynomials
and
.
Throughout in the present paper, we use the following standard notations:
![]() |
Here, as usual,
denotes the set of integers,

Some useful consequences of Lagrange’s expansion [ 1, p.133; see also 2, p.146, problem 207] include the following generalization [ 2, p. 349, problem 216] of the familiar binomial expansion:

where

are complex numbers independent of n and
is a function of 't' defined implicitly by
![]() | (1.3) |
subject to the condition
![]() | (1.4) |
Another generalization [ 2, p. 348, problem 212] related with the equation (1.2), is given as:
![]() | (1.5) |
where
is defined by the equations (1.3) and (1.4).
When
both results (1.2) and (1.5) reduce immediately to the binomial expansion.
