This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…
We provide an algebraic setting for cumulants and factorial moments through the classical umbral calculus. Main tools are the compositional inverse of the unity umbra, connected with the logarithmic power series, and a new umbra here…
Quantum lambda calculus has been studied mainly as an idealized programming language -- the evaluation essentially corresponds to a deterministic abstract machine. Very little work has been done to develop a rewriting theory for quantum…
Functional integrals are central to modern theories ranging from quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics to biology, chemistry, and finance. In this work we present a new method for calculating functional integrals based on a…
We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We obtain two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a $q$-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is…
An improvement of Q-learning is proposed in this paper. It is different from classic Q-learning in that the similarity between different states and actions is considered in the proposed method. During the training, a new updating mechanism…
We introduce the structural resource lambda-calculus, a new formalism in which strongly normalizing terms of the lambda-calculus can naturally be represented, and at the same time any type derivation can be internally rewritten to its…
After obtaining some useful identities, we prove an additional functional relation for $q$ exponentials with reversed order of multiplication, as well as the well known direct one in a completely rigorous manner.
With a view towards models of quantum computation and/or the interpretation of linear logic, we define a functional language where all functions are linear operators by construction. A small step operational semantic (and hence an…
We construct a q-deformed version of the conformal quantum mechanics model of de Alfaro, Fubini and Furlan for which the deformation parameter is complex and the unitary time evolution of the system is preserved. We also study differential…
We propose a new definition of the q-exponential function. Our q-exponential function maps the imaginary axis into the unit circle and the resulting q-trigonometric functions are bounded and satisfy the Pythagorean identity.
We propose a conjectural $q$-analogue of the classical duality for iterated integrals on $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ minus four points, arising from the involutive M\"{o}bius transformation which exchanges the four marked points in pairs. To this end,…
Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…
The theory of harmonic based function is discussed here within the framework of umbral operational methods. We derive a number of results based on elementary notions relying on the properties of Gaussian integrals.
We introduce a formulation of combined systems in orthodox non-relativistic quantum mechanics, mathematically equivalent to the usual one. For context and larger issues, see http://euclid.unh.edu/~jjohnson/axiomatics.html and…
In this paper, the $(p,q)$-derivative and the $(p,q)$-integration are investigated. Two suitable polynomials bases for the $(p,q)$-derivative are provided and various properties of these bases are given. As application, two $(p,q)$-Taylor…
We explore a number of functional properties of the $q$-gamma function and a class of its quotients; including the $q$-beta function. We obtain formulas for all higher logarithmic derivatives of these quotients and give precise conditions…
Many different types of fractional calculus have been proposed, which can be organised into some general classes of operators. For a unified mathematical theory, results should be proved in the most general possible setting. Two important…
In this paper, we propose a full characterization of a generalized $q-$deformed Tamm-Dancoff oscillator algebra and investigate its main mathematical and physical properties. Specifically, we study its various representations and find the…
In this paper, we revisit foundations of umbral calculus using a straightforward approach based on an explicit matrix realization of binomial convolution. We construct an umbral duality of Wronskian type for rational curves in echelon form,…
