1. Introduction and Definitions
Focusing on the theory of special polynomials, several mathematicians have extensively studied the works and various generalizations of Bernoulli polynomials, Euler polynomials, Genocchi polynomials, and Cauchy polynomials (see [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6] for more information). The importance of generalization of the special polynomials encompass a range of specialized polynomial families, offering a unified methodology for addressing a wide array of mathematical questions. They prove valuable not only in theoretical realms, but also in practical applications, enhancing our grasp of fundamental mathematical concepts and furnishing sophisticated resolutions to complex problems in disciplines like calculus, number theory, and physics. Moreover, recent years have witnessed a surge in research on various degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers, reigniting the interest of mathematicians in diverse categories of special polynomials and numbers [
2,
7,
8,
9,
10]. Notably, Kim and Kim [
11] as well as Dolgy and Khan [
12] revisited the polyexponential functions in connection with polylogarithm functions, building upon the foundational work initiated by Hardy [
13].
The objective of this paper is to investigate the poly-Jindalrae and poly-Gaenari polynomials and numbers in relation to the Jindalrae–Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, and to derive arithmetic and combinatorial findings concerning these polynomials and numbers. Initially, we define the Jindalrae–Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds as extensions of the degenerate Stirling numbers, and establish several polynomial relationships involving these special numbers. Subsequently, we introduce the Jindalrae and poly-Gaenari numbers and polynomials, providing explicit expressions and identities associated with them.

Section 1 provides an overview of essential concepts that are fundamental, including the degenerate exponential functions, degenerate logarithm function, degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, and degenerate Bell numbers. It is important to note that the degenerate poly-Bell polynomials
(refer to [
15]) differ from the degenerate Bell polynomials
discussed in [
5], and the new type degenerate Bell polynomials
introduced in [
5].
In
Section 2, we introduce poly-Jindalrae and poly-Gaenari polynomials as extensions of the Jindalrae and Gaenari polynomials. We establish connections between these special numbers, degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, and degenerate Bell numbers and polynomials. Furthermore, we define poly-Jindalrae numbers and polynomials as extensions of the degenerate Bell numbers and polynomials. We derive explicit expressions and identities involving these numbers and polynomials, Jindalrae–Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, degenerate Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds, and degenerate Bell polynomials.
