Abstract

This paper derives another form of explicit formula for $(r,\beta)$-Bell numbers using the Faa di Bruno's formula and certain identity of Bell polynomials of the second kind. This formula is expressed in terms  of the $r$-Whitney numbers of the second kind and the ordinary Lah numbers. As a consequence, a relation between $(r,\beta)$-Bell numbers and the sums of row entries of the product of two matrices containing the $r$-Whitney numbers of the second kind and the ordinary Lah numbers is established.  Moreover, a $q$-analogue of the explicit formula is obtained.
