In this note we give a derivation of the asymptotic main term for the q-Gamma function as q approaching 1. This formula is valid on all the complex plan except at the poles of the Euler Gamma function.
The main object of this paper is to obtain several symmetric properties of the q-Zeta type functions. As applications of these properties, we give some new interesting identities for the modified q-Genocchi polynomials. Finally, our…
Special functions have been used widely in many problems of applied sciences. However, there are considerable numbers of problems in which exact solutions could not be achieved because of undefined sums or integrals involving special…
A remarkable discrete counterpart of the Gaussian function of one continuous variable can be defined by using a Jacobi theta function, that is, as the sum of a convergent series. We extend this approach to Gaussian functions of two…
We establish some identities of Euler related sums. By using these identities, we discuss the closed form representations of sums of harmonic numbers and reciprocal parametric binomial coefficients through parametric harmonic numbers,…
A function of positive type can be defined as a positive functional on a convolution algebra of a locally compact group. In the case where the group is abelian, by Bochner's theorem a function of positive type is, up to normalization, the…
We generalize Ramanujan's expansions of the fractional-power Euler functions (q^{1/5})_{\infty} = [ J_1 - q^{1/5} + q^{2/5} J_2 ](q^5)_{\infty} and (q^{1/7})_{\infty} = [ J_1 + q^{1/7} J_2 - q^{2/7} + q^{5/7} J_3 ] (q^7)_{\infty} to…
In this paper we construct the $q$-analogue of Barnes's Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of degree 2, for positive even integers, which is an answer to a part of Schlosser's question. For positive odd integers, Schlosser's question is…
A new class of positive definite functions related to colour-length function on arbitrary Coxeter group is introduced. Extensions of positive definite functions, called the Riesz-Coxeter product, from the Riesz product on the Rademacher…
If $n \ge 3$, $q>2$ and $\beta > 0$ then the function $\exp(-(|x_1|^q+|x_2|^q+\dots+|x_n|^q)^{\beta/q})$\ is not positive definite. This result gives an answer to a question posed by I.J.~Schoenberg in 1938. This text is an authorized…
In this paper, we prove two structural theorems on the general Berndt-type integrals with the denominator having arbitrary positive degrees by contour integrations involving hyperbolic and trigonometric functions, and hyperbolic sums…
By using Liu's $q$-partial differential equations theory, we prove that if an analytic function in several variables satisfies a system of $q$-partial differential equations, if and only if it can be expanded in terms of homogeneous…
There are many families of functions on partitions, such as the shifted symmetric functions, for which the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular forms. We extend these families so that the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular for a…
Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…
In this paper, we show some expressions of certain $q$-multiple zeta-star values at roots of unity. These explicit formulas are expressed by using the determinants or Bell polynomials. Explicit formulas for other types of values can be…
We provide a complete spectral analysis of all self-adjoint operators acting on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ which are associated with two doubly infinite Jacobi matrices with entries given by $$ q^{-n+1}\delta_{m,n-1}+q^{-n}\delta_{m,n+1} $$ and…
Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…
In this paper, we continue to study properties of rational approximations to Euler's constant and values of the Gamma function defined by linear recurrences, which were found recently by A. I. Aptekarev and T. Rivoal. Using multiple…
This paper derives a way to express differentiable complex-valued functions as the sum of powers of $(1-e^{\lambda x})$, where $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, with an explicit formula for the remainder. This formulation is then used to associate an…
Employing the $q$-Lucas theorem and some known $q$-supercongruences, we give some Dwork-type $q$-congruences, confirming three conjectures in [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A 178 (2021), Art.~105362]. As conclusions, we obtain the following…
