Abstract

We construct a new type of q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight , respectively. Some interesting results and relationships are obtained.

1. Introduction

The Genocchi numbers and polynomials possess many interesting properties and are arising in many areas of mathematics and physics. Recently, many mathematicians have studied in the area of the q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials (see [113]). In this paper, we construct a new type of q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β.

Throughout this paper, we use the following notations. By p, we denote the ring of p-adic rational integers, p denotes the field of p-adic rational numbers, p denotes the completion of algebraic closure of p, denotes the set of natural numbers, denotes the ring of rational integers, denotes the field of rational numbers, denotes the set of complex numbers, and + = ∪ {0}. Let νp be the normalized exponential valuation of p with . When one talks of q-extension, q is considered in many ways such as an indeterminate, a complex number q, or p-adic number qp. If q, one normally assume that |q | < 1. If qp, we normally assumes that |q − 1|p < p−(1/p−1) so that qx = exp (xlog q) for |x|p ≤ 1. Throughout this paper, we use the notation
()
cf. [113].
Hence, lim q→1[x] = x for any x with |x|p ≤ 1 in the present p-adic case. For

the fermionic p-adic q-integral on p is defined by Kim as follows:

cf. [36].
If we take f1(x) = f(x + 1) in (1.1), then we easily see that
()
From (1.4), we obtain
()
where fn(x) = f(x + n) (cf. [36]).
As-well-known definition, the Genocchi polynomials are defined by
()
with the usual convention of replacing Gn(x) by Gn(x). In the special case, x = 0, Gn(0) = Gn are called the n-th Genocchi numbers (cf. [111]).
These numbers and polynomials are interpolated by the Genocchi zeta function and Hurwitz-type Genocchi zeta function, respectively.

Our aim in this paper is to define q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β. We investigate some properties which are related to q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β. We also derive the existence of a specific interpolation function which interpolates q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β at negative integers.

2. q-Genocchi Numbers and Polynomials with Weight α and Weak Weight β

Our primary goal of this section is to define q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β. We also find generating functions of q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β.

For α and qp with |1−q|p ≤ 1, q-Genocchi numbers are defined by

3. The Analogue of the Genocchi Zeta Function

By using q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials with weight α and weak weight β, q-Genocchi zeta function and Hurwitz q-Genocchi zeta functions are defined. These functions interpolate the q-Genocchi numbers and q-Genocchi polynomials with weight α and weak weight β, respectively. In this section, we assume that q with |q | < 1. From (2.4), we note that
