On the values of continued fractions: \(q\)-series. (Q1421498)

The \(q\)-series and the associated \(q\)-continued fractions where \(|q|_p<1\) in the given valuation \(p\) and \(q\), \(t \in \mathbb{C}_p\) are dealt in the paper. A generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions were used to the representation of quotients of \(q\)-series. The second order \(q\)-functional equations were discussed. It is proved that for a class of \(q\)-continued fractions the value of the continued fraction is given by a quotient of the solution and its \(q\)-shifted value of the corresponding \(q\)-functional equation.
