Abstract

Katriel, Rasetti and Solomon introduced a qq-analogue of the Zassenhaus formula written as eq(A+B)e_q^{(A+B)} == eqAeqBeqc2eqc3eqc4eqc5...e_q^Ae_q^Be_q^{c_2}e_q^{c_3}e_q^{c_4}e_q^{c_5}..., where AA and BB are two generally noncommuting operators and eqze_q^z is the Jackson qq-exponential, and derived the expressions for c2c_2, c3c_3 and c4c_4. It is shown that one can also write eq(A+B)e_q^{(A+B)} == eqAeqBeq2\C2eq3\C3eq4\C4eq5\C5...e_q^Ae_q^Be_{q^2}^{\C_2}e_{q^3}^{\C_3}e_{q^4}^{\C_4}e_{q^5}^{\C_5}.... Explicit expressions for \C2\C_2, \C3\C_3 and \C4\C_4 are given.
