Q-difference Polynomial - Generating Function

Generating Function

The generating function for these polynomials is of the type of generating function for Brenke polynomials, namely

where is the q-exponential:

e_q(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{t^n}{_q!}= \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{t^n (1-q)^n}{(q;q)_n}.

Here, is the q-factorial and

is the q-Pochhammer symbol. The function is arbitrary but assumed to have an expansion

Any such gives a sequence of q-difference polynomials.

Famous quotes containing the word function:

    “The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
