“…In [1,2], Carlitz initiated the study of degenerate versions of some special polynomials and numbers, namely the degenerate Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and numbers. Here we would like to draw the attention of the reader to the fact that Kim et al have introduced various degenerate polynomials and numbers and investigating their properties, some identities related to them and their applications by means of generating functions, combinatorial methods, umbral calculus, p-adic analysis and differential equations (see [8,9] and the references therein). It is amusing that this line of study led them even to the introduction of degenerate gamma functions and degenerate Laplace transforms (see [7]).…”
