A $q$-analogue of $\barα$-Whitney Numbers (1702.02067v1)

Abstract: We define the $(q,\bar{\boldsymbol{\alpha}})$-Whitney numbers which are reduced to the $\bar{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}$-Whitney numbers when $q\rightarrow1$. Moreover, we obtain several properties of these numbers such as explicit formulas, recurrence relations, generating functions, orthogonality and inverse relations. Finally, we define the $\bar{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}$-Whitney-Lah numbers as a generalization of the $r$-Whitney-Lah numbers and we introduce their important basic properties.
