In combinatorial mathematics, a ''q''-exponential is a ''q''-analog of the exponential function, namely the eigenfunction of a q-derivative. There are many q-derivatives, for example, the classical ''q''-derivative, the Askey-Wilson operator, etc. Therefore, unlike the classical exponentials, q-exponentials are not unique. For example, is the q-exponential corresponding to the classical ''q''-derivative while are eigenfunctions of the Askey-Wilson operators. Interested readers may consult the reference books by M. Ismail or G. Gasper and M. Rahman provided at the end of this article. ==Definition== The ''q''-exponential is defined as : where is the ''q''-factorial and : is the ''q''-Pochhammer symbol. That this is the ''q''-analog of the exponential follows from the property : where the derivative on the left is the ''q''-derivative. The above is easily verified by considering the ''q''-derivative of the monomial : Here, is the ''q''-bracket. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Q-exponential」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
