Abstract

Generating functions play an important role in the investigation of various useful properties of the sequences which they generate. Exton \cite{Exto-93} presented a very general double generating relation involving products of two Laguerre polynomials. Motivated essentially by Exton's derivation \cite{Exto-93}, the authors aim to show how one can obtain nineteen new generating relations associated with products of two Laguerre polynomials in the form of a single result. We also consider some interesting and potentially useful special cases of our main findings.
