A \(q\)-operational equation and the Rogers-Szegő polynomials (Q6168222)

The \(q\)-analogues of some partial differential equations were studied by some mathematicians. These investigations allow to develop a systematic method of deriving \(q\)-formulas. Recent studies have provided a systematic method to prove the identities involving the bivariate Hermite polynomials. Motivated and inspired by these works, in the related paper, the author proves a new \(q\)-exponential operational identity by solving a \(q\)-operational equation with formal power series, which reveals an essential feature of the Rogers-Szegö polynomials and facilitates to develop a systematic method to prove the identities involving the Rogers-Szegö polynomials. Using this operational identity, the \(q\)-Mehler formula, the \(q\)-Burchnall formula, the \(q\)-Nielsen formula, the \(q\)-Doetsch formula, the \(q\)-Weisner formula, and the Carlitz formula for the Rogers-Szegö polynomials are investigated. Also, this new identity provides a new viewpoint on some other basic \(q\)-formulas and new proofs of the \(q\)-Gauss summation and the second and third transformation formulas of Heine. Moreover, it provides an extension of the \(q\)-Gauss summation.
