On q-middle convolution and generalized q-hypergeometric equation
Abstract
We investigate higher-order q-difference equations obtained by successive applications of a q-analogue of addition and the q-middle convolution. We construct an n-dimensional system of linear q-difference equations and derive a single q-difference equation whose coefficients are polynomials of degree at most $1$ in the independent variable. Under certain conditions on the parameters, the resulting equation is a generalized q-hypergeometric equation of order n. We also obtain a multiple Jackson integral representation of solutions and give sufficient conditions for its convergence. By suitably choosing the functions appearing in the integrand and specializing the parameters, we obtain q-hypergeometric series solutions of type n ϕn−1.
