In the following sections, we introduce a new extension of the two-variable Fubini polynomials by means of the polyexponential function, which we call two-variable type 2 poly-Fubini polynomials. Then, we derive some useful relations including the Stirling numbers of the first and the second kinds, the usual Fubini polynomials, and the Bernoulli polynomials of higher-order. Also, we investigate some summation formulas and an integral representation for type 2 poly-Fubini polynomials. Moreover, we introduce two-variable unipoly-Fubini polynomials via unipoly function and acquire diverse properties including derivative and integral properties. Furthermore, we provide some relationships covering the Stirling numbers of the first and the second kinds, the two-variable unipoly-Fubini polynomials, and the Daehee polynomials.
