1 Introduction
A polynomial set is quasi-monomial if and only if there exist two operators and , independent of n, such that
Here, and play the role of multiplicative and derivative operators, respectively. Owing to the fact that every polynomial set is quasi-monomial [1], by using the monomiality principle, new results were obtained for Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre and Appell polynomials in [2–6].
In this paper, we consider Appell polynomials. Before proceeding, we recall some basic definitions and properties of the polynomial families that we discuss throughout the paper. The celebrated Appell polynomials can be defined by the following generating relation:

Since and are differential realizations, equation (2) gives the differential equation that is satisfied by Appell polynomials [2]. In [2], M.X. He and Paolo E. Ricci obtained the differential equations of the Appell polynomials via the factorization method. Moreover, they found differential equations satisfied by Bernoulli and Euler polynomials as a special case. Afterward, Da-Qian Lu found differential equations for generalized Bernoulli polynomials in [7].
Bernoulli polynomials are defined by the following generating relation:

MacLaurin expansion of the trigonometric and hyperbolic tangent and cotangent functions,
-
the sums of powers of natural numbers,
-
the residual term of the Euler-Maclaurin quadrature formula [8].
Bernoulli polynomials, first studied by Euler [9], are employed in the integral representation of differentiable periodic functions, and play an important role in the approximation of such functions by means of polynomials [10].
First, the three Bernoulli polynomials are
The following properties are straightforward:
Taking in (1), we meet with the well-known Euler polynomials. More precisely, the Euler polynomials are defined via the generating relation
On the other hand, the Euler numbers are defined by the following relation:

Recently, Gabriella Bretti and Paolo E. Ricci defined the two-dimensional Bernoulli polynomials () via the generating relation
The two-dimensional Euler polynomials are defined as
They obtained explicit forms of the polynomials by means of Hermite-Kampé de Fériet (or Gould-Hopper) polynomials , where these polynomials are defined by
Furthermore, Gabriella Bretti and Paolo E. Ricci gave a recurrence relation, shift operators, differential, integro-differential and partial differential equations for two-dimensional Bernoulli polynomials in [10]. We gather these results in the following theorem:

In this paper, we consider the 2D extension of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. To obtain the explicit forms of them, we take into consideration of the extended Hermite-Kampé de Fériet (or Gould-Hopper) polynomials. Let us define the extended Hermite-Kampé de Fériet (or Gould-Hopper) polynomials by the following generating relation:
It is clear that is explicitly given by

Moreover, we obtain differential, integro-differential, partial differential equations and shift operators for the extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials by using the factorization method, introduced in [18]. We list the results for the extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials. In Section 3, we deal with finding the recurrence relation, differential, integro-differential and partial differential equations for the extended 2D Euler polynomials. Finally, in Section 4, we present some open problems that will be investigated in the future.
2 2D extension of generalized Bernoulli polynomials and their differential equations
We begin by the following theorem that gives the explicit form of extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials via Hermite-Kampé de Fériet (or Gould Hopper) polynomials:
Theorem 4 The relationship between and is given by
where denotes the Bernoulli numbers.
Proof Since
the result is obtained by using (11) and (18) and then applying the Cauchy product of the series. □
Corollary 5 For , , we obtain Theorem 4.1 of [10].
In the following theorem, the recurrence relation, shift operators and differential, integro-differential, partial differential equations are obtained for extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials.
Theorem 6 The extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:

The differential, integro-differential and partial differential equations for the extended 2D Bernoulli polynomials are given by
respectively.
Note that the partial differential equation (24) does not contain anti-derivatives for .
Proof Taking derivative on both sides of the generating relation
with respect to t, then using some series manipulations and (3), we get the recurrence relation
Differentiating generating equation (17) with respect to x and equating coefficients of , we obtain
Hence, the operator satisfies the following relation:
Since, we have the relations
writing (25) and (26) in the recurrence relation, we get
By applying the factorization method (see [18, 19]),
we get differential equation
To obtain the integro-differential equation
we take derivative with respect to y in the generating relation (17) to obtain
From this fact, we write as follows:
By using this lowering operator in (21), we get
Using the factorization relation
we get the integro-differential equation (23).
Differentiating both sides of (23) with respect to x, times, we obtain the partial differential equation
□
Since the case reduces to the generalized 2D Bernoulli polynomials, it is important to state this result for this case.

The differential equation of one variable Bernoulli polynomials was obtained in [2]. On the other hand, the differential equation of the generalized Bernoulli polynomials was given in [7]. For this reason, and for the sake of completeness, we list the recurrence relation, shift operators, differential equations for the two dimensional generalized Bernoulli polynomials in the case , , in the following corollary. (Note that the following corollary was recorded in [10].)

In this section, we study the Euler polynomials and the equations satisfied by extended 2D Euler polynomials. Since the extended 2D Euler differential equations have not been studied before, the results are new even in the cases , . The proof is very similar as in the previous section, therefore, we only exhibit the results.

Shift operators:
Differential, integro-differential and partial differential equations:
Note that as it is noticed before, even the case has not been studied before. The interested reader can obtain this case as a consequence of the above corollary.
