$q$-Fractional Integral Operators With Two Parameters

Abstract

We use the Poisson kernel of the continuous $q$-Hermite polynomials to introduces families of integral operators, which are semigroups of linear operators. We describe the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of one family of operators. The action of the semigroups of operators on the Askey--Wilson polynomials is shown to only change the parameters but preserves the degrees, hence we produce transmutation relation for the Askey--Wilson polynomials. The transmutation relations are then used to derive bilinear generating functions involving the Askey--Wilson polynomials.
