Probabilistic heterogeneous Stirling numbers and Bell polynomials
Let Y be a random variable satisfying specific moment conditions. This paper introduces and investigates probabilistic heterogeneous Stirling numbers of the second kind HλY(n,k) and probabilistic heterogeneous Bell polynomials Hn,λY(x). These structures unify several classical and probabilistic families, including those of Stirling, Lah, Bell and Lah-Bell. By integrating the heterogeneous framework of Kim and Kim with probabilistic extensions, we derive explicit formulas, Dobiński-like identities, and recurrence relations. We further establish connections to partial Bell polynomials and provide applications for Poisson and Bernoulli distributions.
