LINEAR INDEPENDENCE OF VALUES OF THE q-EXPONENTIAL AND RELATED FUNCTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 October 2023
Abstract
We establish the linear independence of values of the q-analogue of the exponential function and its derivatives at specified algebraic arguments, when q is a Pisot–Vijayaraghavan number. We also deduce similar results for cognate functions, such as the Tschakaloff function and certain generalised q-series.
