On exponential and trigonometric functions on nonuniform lattices.

We develop analogs of exponential and trigonometric functions (including the basic exponential function) and derive their fundamental properties: addition formula, positivity, reciprocal and fundamental relations of trigonometry. We also establish a binomial theorem, characterize symmetric orthogonal polynomials and provide a formula for computing the nth-derivatives for analytic functions on nonuniform lattices (q-quadratic and quadratic variables).
