TL;DR
This work constructs a $q$-linear analogue of Gegenbauer's plane wave expansion by framing a $q$-Dunkl-type kernel through Bilinear Biorthogonal Expansions. The authors define a $q$-Fourier–Dunkl transform $\\mathcal{F}_{\\alpha,q}$ with kernel $E_{\\alpha}(ix;q^{2})$, build a Paley–Wiener-type space $PW_{\\alpha,q}$, and develop biorthogonal families from generalized little $q$-Gegenbauer polynomials and $q$-Neumann functions. The main result provides an explicit expansion of the kernel $E_{\\alpha}(ixt;q^{2})$ in terms of $\\mathcal{J}_{\\alpha+\\beta,n}(x;q^{2})$ and $C_{n}^{(\\beta+1/2,\\alpha+1/2)}(t;q^{2})$, along with an orthogonal $q$-Fourier–Neumann series for functions in $PW_{\\alpha,q}$, with uniform convergence on compact sets. As a byproduct, the paper yields $q$-analogues of Neumann series and a robust framework for $q$-harmonic analysis on Paley–Wiener spaces, extending plane wave expansions to discrete $q$-grid settings and connecting to prior $q$-quadratic cases and Dunkl-type transforms.
Abstract
We obtain a $q$-linear analogue of Gegenbauer's expansion of the plane wave. It is expanded in terms of the little $q$-Gegenbauer polynomials and the \textit{third} Jackson $q$-Bessel function. The result is obtained by using a method based on bilinear biorthogonal expansions.
