The orthogonality of Hermite polynomials is crucial in various fields, such as quantum mechanics, probability theory, and numerical analysis. In quantum mechanics, they form the basis for the wave functions of the quantum harmonic oscillator, ensuring the orthogonality and completeness needed for accurate probability calculations. In probability theory, they are key in studying Gaussian distributions and polynomial chaos expansions. Additionally, they play a significant role in signal processing and are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform, making them indispensable in theoretical and applied mathematics. In their 3-variable formulation, these polynomials find widespread application across numerous fields in both pure and applied mathematics and physics. They serve as fundamental tools in addressing problems ranging from Laplace’s equation in parabolic coordinates to various quantum mechanics and probability theory scenarios. Notably, for any integral value of n, these polynomials represent specific solutions to the heat or generalized heat problem facilitated by the corresponding existence of Gauss–Weierstrass transforms.

When the factorization approach is applied to the domain of multivariable special functions, new analytical techniques are presented to solve a wide variety of partial differential equations frequently encountered in practical situations.
Differential equations cover a wide range of topics in “physics, engineering, and pure and applied mathematics”. Problems from various scientific and technical fields typically take the form of differential equations, solved using specialised functions. Differential equation theory has attracted renewed attention in the last thirty years due to developments in nonlinear analysis, dynamical systems, and their useful applications in science and engineering.
Several studies employing different generating function approaches and analytical procedures have been carried out to present and analyse hybrid families of special polynomials methodically [
16,
17]. The recurrence relations, explicit relations, functional and differential equations, summation formulae, and symmetric and convolution identities are just a few of the fundamental characteristics of multi-variable hybrid special polynomials that make them important. “Number theory, combinatorics, classical and numerical analysis, theoretical physics, approximation theory, and other fields of pure and practical mathematics” are just a few of the fields in which these polynomials can be useful to researchers. Various scientific areas can use the qualities of hybrid special polynomials to address new problems.
