1. Introduction
The theory of quantum calculus or q-calculus has a wide range of applications in several fields of mathematics, engineering, physics, partition theory, number theory, Lie theory, combinatorial analysis, integral transforms, fractional calculus, and quantum theory, etc. Several authors have contributed works on this subject: (see for example, [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]). Sahai and Verma [16,17], Guo and Schlosser [18], Verma and Sahai [19], Verma and Yadav [20], Wei and Gong [21] studied and investigated some properties for various families of the q-hypergeometric, q-Appell and q-Lauricella series by applying operators of quantum calculus. In [22], Ernst obtained the q-analogues of Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions. Araci et al. [23,24,25] studied some properties of q-Bernoulli, q-Euler, and q-Frobenius–Euler polynomials based on q-exponential functions. Duran et al. [26,27] investigated q-Bernoulli, q-Genocchi, and q-Euler polynomials and introduced the q-analogues of familiar earlier formulas. In [28], Pathan et al. derived the certain new formulas for the classical Horn’s hypergeometric functions , . In [29,30], the author introduced the -Humbert, -Bessel functions. In [31], Shehata has earlier investigated the results for basic Horn hypergeometric functions and . The reason of interest for this family of basic Horn’s hypergeometric functions is due to their intrinsic mathematical physics importance.
Throughout this work, we assume that the expression , , we use the following abbreviated notations: let , , and be the sets of complex, natural and non-negative numbers.
The q-shifted factorial (q-Pochhammer symbol) is defined by (see [32]):
for negative subscripts,
For , the q-number or q-bracket is defined as (see [32])
Let m be a non-negative integer number, the q-number and q-factorial are defined by (see [13,27])
and
We recall the notations for , , which are used in the sequel (see [32])
and
The q-difference operator of a function f at is defined as (see [33]).
and , provided that f is differentiable at , and defined differential operator .
Note that for , the basic Horn functions and reduces to Horn functions and [34].
So as to simplify the following notations, we are writing for the function , for the function , for the function , for the function , stands for the function , for the function , for the function , for the function , and for the function , … etc.
Our present study is primarily motivated by the former works in quantum calculus. We express a family of extended forms for the functions and . In Section 2, the q-contiguous relations, q-differential relations, and q-differential equations for the functions , , and under conditions on the numerator and denominator parameters are derived. Finally, some concluding remarks for the functions , , and are determined in Section 3.

3. Concluding Remarks
This study is a continuation of the recent paper [31], we have investigated the q-analogues of hypergeometric Horn functions and and their various properties. In our present study, we have established several results, such as q-contiguous relations, q-differential relations and q-differential equations of the basic Horn functions and under conditions on the numerator and denominator parameters. In addition, we have deeply discussed new properties of these extended basic Horn functions and such as the iq-contiguous relations, q-differential relations, and q-differential equations. Note that, by setting , we obtain various known or unknown results for the Horn hypergeometric functions and established earlier in [28]. Therefore, other special types of these extensions are recommended for a parallel work of this study. More investigations will be carried out in the coming future results in other different fields of interest for quantum calculus on time scales and applications in the mathematical and physical sciences.
