I continue the investigation of a q-analogue of the convolution on the line started in a joint work with Koornwinder and based on a formal definition due to Kempf and Majid. Two different ways of approximating functions by means of the…
The paper studies logarithmic convexity and concavity of power series with coefficients involving q-gamma functions or q-shifted factorials with respect to a parameter contained in their arguments. The principal motivating examples of such…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. The associated special functions are eigenfunctions of some shape invariant operators. These operators can…
Using the notion of quantum integers associated with a complex number $q\neq 0$, we define the quantum Hilbert matrix and various extensions. They are Hankel matrices corresponding to certain little $q$-Jacobi polynomials when $|q|<1$, and…
This paper provides the details of Remark 5.4 in the author's paper "Askey-Wilson polynomials as zonal spherical functions on the SU(2) quantum group", SIAM J. Math. Anal. 24 (1993), 795-813. In formula (5.9) of the 1993 paper a…

We define a q-analog of the modified Bessel and Bessel-Macdonald functions. As for the q-Bessel functions of Jackson there is a couple of functions of the both kind. They are arisen in the Harmonic analysis on quantum symmetric spaces…

We give a new method to prove in a uniform and easy way various transformation formulas for Gauss hypergeometric functions. The key is Jacobi's canonical form of the hypergeometric differential equation. Analogy for $q$-hypergeometric…

Limiting cases are studied of the Koornwinder-Macdonald multivariable generalization of the Askey-Wilson polynomials. We recover recently and not so recently introduced families of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in several variables…

Ismail and Wilson derived a generating function for Askey--Wilson polynomials which is given by a product of $q$-Gauss (Heine) nonterminating basic hypergeometric functions. We provide a generalization of that generating function which…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the surface of a double cone or a hyperboloid of revolution, either finite or infinite in axis direction, and on the solid domain bounded by such a surface and, when the surface is finite, by…
