A Comprehensive Treatment of q-Calculusq-Stirling numbers

A Comprehensive Treatment of q-Calculus: q-Stirling numbers [In this chapter we focus on functions of qx, or equivalently functions of the q-binomial coefficients. We systematically find q-analogues of the formulas for Stirling numbers from Jordan and the elementary textbooks by J. Cigler and Schwatt. To this end, various q-difference operators are used. In each of Sections 5.2–5.4, we focus on a certain such △q operator and find four formulas (the quartet of formulas) in each section. A q-power sum of Carlitz plays a special role. We present tables and recurrence formulas for the two polynomial q-Stirling numbers.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In this chapter we focus on functions of qx, or equivalently functions of the q-binomial coefficients. We systematically find q-analogues of the formulas for Stirling numbers from Jordan and the elementary textbooks by J. Cigler and Schwatt. To this end, various q-difference operators are used. In each of Sections 5.2–5.4, we focus on a certain such △q operator and find four formulas (the quartet of formulas) in each section. A q-power sum of Carlitz plays a special role. We present tables and recurrence formulas for the two polynomial q-Stirling numbers.]
