Abstract
Recently, Srivastava et al. introduced and studied some fundamental properties and characteristics of a family of potentially useful incomplete hypergeometric functions. Our principal objective in this paper is to investigate several further properties of these incomplete hypergeometric functions and some general classes of incomplete hypergeometric polynomials associated with them. Various (known or new) special cases and consequences of the results presented in this paper are also considered.
