Abstract

Earlier work introduced a method for obtaining indefinite qq-integrals of qq-special functions from the second-order linear qq-difference equations that define them. In this paper, we reformulate the method in terms of qq-Riccati equations, which are nonlinear and first order. We derive qq-integrals using fragments of these Riccati equations, and here only two specific fragment types are examined in detail. The results presented here are for qq-Airy function, Ramanujan function, Jackson qq-Bessel functions, discrete qq-Hermite polynomials, qq-Laguerre polynomials, Stieltjes-Wigert polynomial, little qq-Legendre, and big qq-Legendre polynomials.
