Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. 43 q-Functions of Variables
2.1. Elementary Special and Limiting Cases
- For , or , the above functions reduce to q-Lauricella or q-Humbert functions or to a product:
- When a numerator parameter is equal to zero, the result is unity or a simpler function. For example, the functions reduce to a for .
- For , the functions reduce to q-Appell, q-Humbert or q-Horn functions, or to a q-hypergeometric function with argument according to the following table:
- In the following cases, a reduction to a product of inverse q-shifted factorials takes place:

- denotes a positive number bigger than the greatest of and and denotes a sufficiently large number,
- If denotes a positive number bigger than the greatest of and and is a sufficiently big number, we have:
- If denotes a positive number bigger than the greatest of and and is a sufficiently big number, we have:
