1 Introduction Recently, many mathematicians have worked in the are of the Bernoulli numbers, Euler numbers, Genocchi numbers, and tangent numbers (see [1–9]). The moments of the Poisson distribution are well-known to be connected to the combinatorics of the Bell and Stirling numbers. As is well known, the Bell numbers Bn are given by the generating function 1 X tn t e .e 1/ D Bn : (1) nŠ nD0

Recently, many mathematicians have studied the differential equations arising from the generating functions of special polynomials (see [11–13]). In this paper, we study differential equations arising from the generating functions of generalized Bell polynomials. We give explicit identities for the generalized Bell polynomials. In addition, we investigate the zeros of the generalized Bell polynomials with numerical methods. Finally, we observe an interesting phenomenon of ‘scattering’ of the zeros of generalized Bell polynomials.

2 Differential equations associated with generalized Bell polynomials Differential equations arising from the generating functions of special polynomials are studied by many authors in order to give explicit identities for special polynomials (see [11–13]).

In Figure 3 (top-left), we choose n D 5 and  D 4. In Figure 3 (top-right), we choose n D 10 and  D 4. In Figure 3 (bottom-left), we choose n D 15 and  D 4 . In Figure 3 (bottom-right), we choose n D 20 and  D 4. Prove that Bn .x; /; x 2 C, has I m.x/ D 0 reflection symmetry analytic complex functions (see Figure 3). Stacks of zeros of the generalized Bell polynomials Bn .x; / for 1  n  20;  D 4 from a 3-D structure are presented (Figure 4).
