Spivey's Bell Number Formula Revisited
Abstract
This paper introduces an alternative form of the derivation of Spivey's Bell number formula which involves the q-Boson operators a and a. Furthermore, a similar formula for the case of the (q,r)-Dowling polynomials is obtained, and is shown to produce a generalization of the latter.
