The $q$-exponential $e_q$ is defined for $0 < |q| <1$ and $|z|<1$ by the formula $$e_q(z) =\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{z^k}{(q;q)_k},$$ where $(q;q)_k$ denotes the q-Pochhammer symbol. Note that this function is different than the $q$-exponential $e_{\frac{1}{q}}$.

Properties

Theorem: The following formula holds: $$e_q(z)=\dfrac{1}{(z;q)_{\infty}},$$ where $e_q$ is the $q$-exponential $e$ and $(z;q)_{\infty}$ denotes the q-Pochhammer symbol.

Proof:

Theorem

The following formula holds: $$e_q(z) = {}_1\phi_0(0;-;q;z),$$ where $e_q$ is the $q$-exponential $e$ and ${}_1\phi_0$ denotes the basic hypergeometric phi.

Proof

Theorem

The following formula holds: $$e_q(iz)=\cos_q(z)+i\sin_q(z),$$ where $e_q$ is the $q$-exponential $e_q$, $\cos_q$ is the $q$-$\cos$ function and $\sin_q$ is the $q$-$\sin$ function.

Proof
