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:

“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
