Q-cos sub q
From specialfunctionswiki
The function $\cos_q$ is defined by $$\cos_q(z)=\dfrac{e_q(iz)+e_q(-iz)}{2}=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{(-1)^kz^{2k}}{(q;q)_{2k}}.$$
Properties
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.
