The proof of Mehler's formula can be considered as a new approach to the nonsymmetric Poisson kernel formula for the continuous big $q$-Hermite polynomials $H_n(x;a|q)$ due to Askey, Rahman and Suslov. Mehler's formula for $h_n(x,y|q)$ involves a ${}_3\\phi_2$ sum and the Rogers formula involves a ${}_2\\phi_1$ sum. The proofs of these results are based on parameter augmentation with respect to the $q$-exponential operator and the homogeneous $q$-shift operator in two variables. By extending recent results on the Rogers-Szeg\\\"{o} polynomials $h_n(x|q)$ due to Hou, Lascoux and Mu, we obtain another Rogers-type formula for $h_n(x,y|q)$. Finally, we give a change of base formula for $H_n(x;a|q)$ which can be used to evaluate some integrals by using the Askey-Wilson integral.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-05-11T03:51:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A30", "33D45" ], "keywords": [ "polynomials", "rogers formula", "nonsymmetric poisson kernel formula", "askey-wilson integral", "base formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
