On integral representations of $q$-difference operators and their applications

Abstract

Integral representations of two $q$-difference operators are provided in terms of special functions arising in the theory of asymptotic solutions to $q$-difference equations in the complex domain. Both representations are unified through the so-called $(p,q)$-differential operator, for which a kernel-like function is provided, generating the sequence of $(p,q)$-factorials.
