The aim of this paper is to give an example of a non-commutative discrete hypergroup associated with $q$-disk polynomials. These are polynomials $R_{l,m}^{(\a)}$ in two non-commuting variables which are expressed through little $q$-Jacobi…
Starting from the addition formula for $q$-disk polynomials, which is an identity in non-commuting variables, we establish a basic analogue in commuting variables of the addition and product formula for disk polynomials. These contain as…
