Abstract: For every positive integer $n$, the quantum integer $[n{]}_q$ is the polynomial $[n{]}_q=1+q+q^2+\mathrm{...}+q^{n-1}.$ A quadratic addition rule for quantum integers consists of sequences of polynomials $mathcal{R}^{\prime }={r{\text{'}}_n(q)}_{n=1}^{infty}$, $mathcal{S}^{\prime }={s{\text{'}}_n(q)}_{n=1}^{infty}$, and $mathcal{T}^{\prime }={t{\text{'}}_{m,n}(q)}_{m,n=1}^{infty}$ such that $[m+n{]}_q=r{\text{'}}_n(q)[m{]}_q+s{\text{'}}_m(q)[n{]}_q+t{\text{'}}_{m,n}(q)[m{]}_q[n{]}_q$ for all $m$ and $n.$ This paper gives a complete classification of quadratic addition rules, and also considers sequences of polynomials polf that satisfy the associated functional equation $f_{m+n}(q)=r{\text{'}}_n(q)f_m(q)+s{\text{'}}_m(q)f_n(q)+t{\text{'}}_{m,n}{f}_m(q)f_n(q).$

Review text

This article is the continuation of the investigation of the second author. It is devoted to the definition of the class of binary operations \(\oplus\) ``quantum addition on the sequence \(\{[n]_q\}_{n=1}^\infty\) of quantum integers. The article gives a complete classification of quadratic additional rules, and also considers sequences of polynomials \(F=\{f_n(q)\}_{n+1}^\infty\) that satisfy the associated functional equation \(f_{m+n}(q)=r'_n(q)f_m(q)+s'_m(q)f_n(q)+t'_{m,n} f_m(q) f_n(q).\)
