Spivey's type recurrence relation for degenerate Bell polynomials

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to derive a recurrence relation for the degenerate Bell polynomials by using the operators X and D satisfying the commutation relation DX-XD=1. Here X is the `multiplication by x' operator and D=d/dx. This recurrence relation is a generalization of Spivey's recurrence relation for the Bell numbers. We also obtain a recurrence relation for the degenerate r--Bell polynomials by using the same operators.
