- Abstract
In an earlier work, a method was introduced for obtaining indefinite q-integrals of q-special functions from the second-order linear q-difference equations that define them. In this paper, we reformulate the method in terms of q-Riccati equations, which are nonlinear and first order. We derive q-integrals using fragments of these Riccati equations, and here only two specific fragment types are examined in detail. The results presented here are for the q-Airy function, the Ramanujan function, the discrete q-Hermite I and II polynomials, the q-hypergeometric functions, the q-Laguerre polynomials, the Stieltjes-Wigert polynomial, the little q-Legendre and the big q-Legendre polynomials.
