Note on Type 2 Degenerate q-Bernoulli Polynomials

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study type 2 degenerate q-Bernoulli polynomials and numbers by virtue of the bosonic p-adic q-integrals. The obtained results are, among other things, several expressions for those polynomials, identities involving those numbers, identities regarding Carlitz’s q-Bernoulli numbers, identities concerning degenerate q-Bernoulli numbers, and the representations of the fully degenerate type 2 Bernoulli numbers in terms of moments of certain random variables, created from random variables with Laplace distributions. It is expected that, as was done in the case of type 2 degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, we will be able to find some identities of symmetry for those polynomials and numbers.
