Q指數

Q指數是指數函數的Q模擬，定義如下

animation of q-exponential

$e_{q}(z)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {z^{n}(1-q)^{n}}{(q;q)_{n}}}=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }z^{n}{\frac {(1-q)^{n}}{(1-q^{n})(1-q^{n-1})\cdots (1-q)}}$

其中$(q;q)_{n}=(1-q^{n})(1-q^{n-1})\cdots (1-q)$

是 Q階乘冪

$\left({\frac {d}{dz}}\right)_{q}e_{q}(z)=e_{q}(z)$

$\left({\frac {d}{dz}}\right)_{q}z^{n}=z^{n-1}{\frac {1-q^{n}}{1-q}}=[n]_{q}z^{n-1}.$

關係式

當 $q<1$

$e_{q}(z)=E_{q}(z(1-q)).$

其中, $E_{q}(t)$ 是基本超幾何函數的特例:

$E_{q}(z)=\;_{1}\phi _{0}(0;q,z)=\prod _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {1}{1-q^{n}z}}~.$
