On the matrix $q$-Kummer equation and its solutions

Abstract

In the present paper, a general theory for the second-order matrix difference equation of bilateral type is discussed. We introduced the matrix $q$-Kummer equation of bilateral type and presented the $q$-Kummer matrix function as a series solution. Later, we obtain the integral solutions of this Kummer equation and solution at $\infty$. We also give a brief idea about the matrix Gauss difference equation of bilateral type and its solutions.
