Abstract
A q-deformed analog of the generalized Touchard polynomials is considered and the connection to generalized Stirling numbers and Bell polynomials is established. For low order m, the q-deformed generalized Touchard polynomials are shown to be related to q-deformed exponential polynomials (m = 1), q-deformed Laguerre polynomials (m = 2), and q-deformed Bessel polynomials (m = - 1). A recurrence relation for the q-deformed generalized Touchard polynomials is derived, representing a generalization of Spivey's relation.
