The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we investigate a finite sum involving the generalized falling factorial polynomials, in some special cases of which we express it in terms of the degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind, the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and the degenerate Frobenius–Euler polynomials. Second, we consider the degenerate Eulerian polynomials and deduce the generating function and a recurrence relation for them.
