We study a polynomial sequence $C_n(x|q)$ defined as a solution of a $q$-difference equation. This sequence, evaluated at $q$-integers, interpolates Carlitz-Riordan's $q$-ballot numbers. In the basis given by some kind of $q$-binomial…
The Al-Salam & Carlitz polynomials are $q$-generalizations of the classical Hermite polynomials. Multivariable generalizations of these polynomials are introduced via a generating function involving a multivariable hypergeometric function…

The classical sequence of Bernoulli numbers is known to the the sequence of moments of a family of orthogonal polynomials. Some similar statements are obtained for another sequence of rational numbers, which is similar in many ways to the…
An overlooked formula of E. Lucas for the generalized Bernoulli numbers is proved using generating functions. This is then used to provide a new proof and a new form of a sum involving classical Bernoulli numbers studied by K. Dilcher. The…
The derivative polynomials introduced by Knuth and Buckholtz in their calculations of the tangent and secant numbers are extended to a multivariable $q$--environment. The $n$-th $q$-derivatives of the classical $q$-tangent and $q$-secant…

We give a new construction of q-Genocchi numbers, Euler numbers of higher order, which are different than the q-Genocchi numbers of Cangul-Ozden-Simsek. By using our q-Genoucchi, Euler nimbers of higher order, we can investigate the…
For the third q-Bessel function (first introduced by F.H. Jackson, later rediscovered by W.Hahn in a special case and by H. Exton) we derive Hansen-Lommel type orthogonality relations, which, by a symmetry, turn out to be equivalent to…
By factorization of the Hamiltonian describing the quantum mechanics of the continuous q-Hermite polynomial, the creation and annihilation operators of the q-oscillator are obtained. They satisfy a q-oscillator algebra as a consequence of…
We introduce the degenerate Bernoulli numbers of the second kind as a degenerate version of the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind. We derive a family of nonlinear differential equations satisfied by a function closely related to the…
We evaluate the moments of some functions composed with the fractional part of $1/x$. We name them fractional moments. In particular, we obtain expressions for the fractional moments of some trigonometric functions, the Bernoulli…
In this paper we study (h,q)-zeta functions associated with (h,q)-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials.
The fractional q-calculus is the q-extension of the ordinary fractional calculus and dates back to early 20-th century. The theory of q-calculus operators are used in various areas of science such as ordinary fractional calculus, optimal…
In earlier work, we introduced three families of polynomials where the generating function of each set includes one of the three Jackson $q$-analogs of the Bessel function. This paper gives determinant representation for each family, their…
We prove that if $q$ is a power of a prime $p$ and $p^k$ divides $a$, with $k\ge 0$, then \[ 1+(q-1)\sum_{0\le b(q-1)<a} \binom{a}{b(q-1)}\equiv 0\pmod{p^{k+1}}. \] The special case of this congruence where $q=p$ was proved by Carlitz in…
$q$-deformed real numbers are power series with integer coefficients. We study Stieltjes and Jacobi type continued fraction expansions of $q$-deformed real numbers and find many new examples of such continued fractions. We also investigate…
We explore some connections between moments of rescaled little q-Jacobi polynomials, q-analogues of values at negative integers for some Dirichlet series, and the q-Eulerian polynomials of wreath products of symmetric groups.
In this paper we define the generalized q-analogues of Euler sums and present a new family of identities for q-analogues of Euler sums by using the method of Jackson q-integral rep- resentations of series. We then apply it to obtain a…
In this paper, we consider the q-extensions of Boole polynomials. From those polynomials, we derive some new and interesting properties and identities related to special polynomials.
