Two new q-exponential operator identities and their applications

In this paper, we use the q-Chu–Vandermonde formula to prove two new operator identities, which are the extensions of Liu's results. These two q-exponential operator identities are used to derive some q-summation formulas and q-integrals.     

A q-summation formula,the continuous q-Hahn polynomials and the big q-Jacobi polynomials

Using a general q-summation formula, we derive a generating function for the q-Hahn polynomials, which is used to give a complete proof of the orthogonality relation for the continuous q-Hahn polynomials. A new proof of the orthogonality relation for the big q-Jacobi polynomials is also given. A simple evaluation of the Nassrallah–Rahman integral is derived by using this summation formula. A new q-beta integral formula is established, which includes the Nassrallah–Rahman integral as a special case. The q-summation formula also allows us to recover several strange q-series identities.     

Inversion formulas for q-Riemann-Liouville and q-Weyl transforms

We study fractional transforms associated with q-Bessel operator which is useful to inverse q-Riemann-Liouville and q-Weyl transforms.     

Sobolev type spaces in quantum calculus

In this paper q-Sobolev type spaces are defined on Rq by using the q-cosine Fourier transform and its inverse. In particular, embedding results for these spaces are established. Next we define the q-cosine potential and study some of its properties.     

On the rate of approximation by q modified Beta operators

In the present paper we propose the q analogue of the modified Beta operators. We apply q-derivatives to obtain the central moments of the discrete q-Beta operators. A direct result in terms of modulus of continuity for the q operators is also established. We have also used the properties of q integral to establish the recurrence formula for the moments of q analogue of the modified Beta operators. We also establish an asymptotic formula. In the end we have also present the modification of such q operators so as to have better estimate.     

Extensions of q-Chu-Vandermonde's identity

In this paper, we apply q-exponential operator to get some general q-Chu-Vandermonde's identities.     

On discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals

A special case of the big q-Jacobi polynomials Pn(x;a,b,c;q), which corresponds to a=b=−c, is shown to satisfy a discrete orthogonality relation for imaginary values of the parameter a (outside of its commonly known domain 0<a<q⁻¹). Since Pn(x;qα,qα,−qα;q) tend to Gegenbauer (or ultraspherical) polynomials in the limit as q→1, this family represents another q-extension of these classical polynomials, different from the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials of Rogers. For a dual family with respect to the polynomials Pn(x;a,a,−a;q) (i.e., for dual discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials) we also find new orthogonality relations with extremal measures.     

q-Dedekind type sums related to q-zeta function and basic L-series

The main purpose of this paper is to define new generating functions. By applying the Mellin transformation formula to these generating functions, we define q-analogue of Riemann zeta function, q-analogue Hurwitz zeta function, q-analogue Dirichlet L-function and two-variable q-L-function. In particular, by using these generating functions, we will construct new generating functions which produce q-Dedekind type sums and q-Dedekind type sums attached to Dirichlet character. We also give the relations between these sums and Dedekind sums. Furthermore, by using *-product which is given in this paper, we will give the relation between Dedekind sums and q-L function as well.     

Some results for the q-Bernoulli and q-Euler polynomials

We show some results for the q-Bernoulli and q-Euler polynomials. The formulas in series of the Carlitz's q-Stirling numbers of the second kind are also considered. The q-analogues of well-known formulas are derived from these results.     

Basic Fourier series on a q-linear grid: Convergence theorems

For 0<q<1 define the symmetric q-linear operator acting on a suitable function f(x) by δf(x)=f(q1/2x)−f(q−1/2x). The q-linear initial value problem , f(0)=1, has two entire functions Cq(z) and Sq(z) as linearly independent solutions, which are orthogonal on a discrete set. Sufficient conditions for pointwise convergence and for uniform convergence of the corresponding Fourier expansion are given.     

Applications of the Mellin transform in quantum calculus

In this paper, we study in quantum calculus the correspondence between poles of the q-Mellin transform (see [A. Fitouhi, N. Bettaibi, K. Brahim, The Mellin transform in Quantum Calculus, Constr. Approx. 23 (3) (2006) 305-323]) and the asymptotic behaviour of the original function at 0 and ∞. As applications, we give a new technique (in q-analysis) to derive the asymptotic expansion of some functions defined by q-integrals or by q-harmonic sums. Finally, a q-analogue of the Mellin-Perron formula is given.     

q-Taylor and interpolation series for Jackson q-difference operators

We prove q-Taylor series for Jackson q-difference operators. Absolute and uniform convergence to the original function are proved for analytic functions. We derive interpolation results for entire functions of q-exponential growth which is less than lnq⁻¹, 0<q<1, from its values at the nodes , a is a non-zero complex number with absolute and uniform convergence criteria.     

On the Gaussian q-distribution

We present a study of the Gaussian q-measure introduced by Díaz and Teruel from a probabilistic and from a combinatorial viewpoint. A main motivation for the introduction of the Gaussian q-measure is that its moments are exactly the q-analogues of the double factorial numbers. We show that the Gaussian q-measure interpolates between the uniform measure on the interval [−1,1] and the Gaussian measure on the real line.     

Elements of harmonic analysis related to the third basic zero order Bessel function

This paper is devoted to the study of some q-harmonic analysis related to the third q-Bessel function of order zero. We establish a product formula leading to a q-translation with some positive kernel. As an application, we provide a q-analogue of the continuous wavelet transform related to this harmonic analysis.     

Approximation properties for generalized q-Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we introduce the generalized q-Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers and we study approximation properties of these operators. In special case, we obtain Stancu operators or Phillips polynomials.     

Arithmetic properties of q-Fibonacci numbers and q-pell numbers

We investigate some arithmetic properties of the q-Fibonacci numbers and the q-Pell numbers.     

Second structure relation for q-semiclassical polynomials of the Hahn Tableau

The q-classical orthogonal polynomials of the q-Hahn Tableau are characterized from their orthogonality condition and by a first and a second structure relation. Unfortunately, for the q-semiclassical orthogonal polynomials (a generalization of the classical ones) we find only in the literature the first structure relation. In this paper, a second structure relation is deduced. In particular, by means of a general finite-type relation between a q-semiclassical polynomial sequence and the sequence of its q-differences such a structure relation is obtained.     

Some approximation properties of q-Baskakov-Durrmeyer operators

Very recently Aral and Gupta [1] introduced q analogue of Baskakov-Durrmeyer operators. In the present paper we extend the studies, we establish the recurrence relations for the central moments and obtain an asymptotic formula. Also in the end we propose modified q-Baskakov-Durrmeyer operators, from which one can obtain better approximation results over compact interval.     

New orthogonality relations for the continuous and the discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials

In a recent contribution [N.M. Atakishiyev, A.U. Klimyk, On discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 306 (2005) 637-645], the so-named discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials were introduced as a specialization of the big q-Jacobi polynomials, and their orthogonality established for values of the parameter outside its commonly known domain but inside the range of validity of the conditions of Favard's theorem. In this paper we consider both the continuous and the discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and we prove that their orthogonality is guaranteed for the whole range of the allowed parameters, even in those intriguing cases in which the three term recurrence relation breaks down. The presence of either the Askey-Wilson divided difference operator (in the continuous case), or the q-derivative operator (in the discrete one), provides the q-Sobolev character of the non-standard inner products introduced in our approach.     

Factors of the Gaussian coefficients

We present some simple observations on factors of the q-binomial coefficients, the q-Catalan numbers, and the q-multinomial coefficients. Writing the Gaussian coefficient with numerator n and denominator k in a form such that 2k?n by the symmetry in k, we show that this coefficient has at least k factors. Some divisibility results of Andrews, Brunetti and Del Lungo are also discussed.
