basic hypergeometric series In mathematics, basic hypergeometric series, or ''q''-hypergeometric series, are ''q''-analogue generalizations of generalized hypergeometric series, and are in turn generalized by elliptic hypergeometric series. A series ''x'n'' is called h ...
. He introduced several ''q''-analogs such as the Jackson–Bessel functions, the Jackson- Hahn-Cigler ''q''-addition, the Jackson derivative, and the
Jackson integral In q-analog theory, the Jackson integral series in the theory of special functions that expresses the operation inverse to q-differentiation. The Jackson integral was introduced by Frank Hilton Jackson. For methods of numerical evaluation, see an ...
