𝑞-Tricomi functions and quantum algebra representations

Abstract

Abstract The quantum groups nowadays attract a considerable interest of mathematicians and physicists. The theory of q-special functions has received a group-theoretic interpretation using the techniques of quantum groups and quantum algebras. This paper focuses on introducing the q-Tricomi functions and 2D q-Tricomi functions through the generating function and series expansion and for the first time establishing a connecting relation between the q-Tricomi and q-Bessel functions. The behavior of these functions is described through shapes, and the contrast between them is observed using mathematical software. Further, the problem of framing the q-Tricomi and 2D q-Tricomi functions in the context of the irreducible representation ( ω ) {(\omega)} of the two-dimensional quantum algebra ℰ q ⁢ ( 2 ) {\mathcal{E}_{q}(2)} is addressed, and certain relations involving these functions are obtained. 2-Variable 1-parameter q-Tricomi functions and their relationship with the 2-variable 1-parameter q-Bessel functions are also explored.
