Q-difference Polynomial - Generating Function

Generating Function

The generating function for these polynomials is of the type of generating function for Brenke polynomials, namely

where is the q-exponential:

e_q(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{t^n}{_q!}= \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{t^n (1-q)^n}{(q;q)_n}.

Here, is the q-factorial and

is the q-Pochhammer symbol. The function is arbitrary but assumed to have an expansion

Any such gives a sequence of q-difference polynomials.

Famous quotes containing the word function:

    “Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality.”
    —Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)
