Ordinaryq-calculus is now very well understood from many different points of view Let us consider a complex numberq ∈ Cwith| q | < 1 (or q ∈ C pwith|1− q | p < p −1/(p −1))
as an indeterminate Theq-basic numbers are defined by
[x] q = q q x − −1
1 , [x] − q = −(− q + 1 q) x+ 1, forx ∈ R (1.8)
We say that f is a uniformly di fferentiable function at a point a ∈ Z pand denote this property by f ∈UD(Zp), if the difference quotients
F f(x, y) = f (x) − f (y)
have a limitl = f (a) as (x, y) →(a, a).
For f ∈UD(Zp), let us start with the expression

be defined as limit (n → ∞) of those sums, when it exists The p-adic q-integral of the

In the previous paper [4,9], the author constructed theq-extension of Euler polynomials
by usingp-adic q-fermionic integral onZpas follows:
E n,q(x) =

n =0 (−1)n q n e[n] q t =

n =0
G ∗ n,q t n n!, see [4]. (1.14)
The following formula is well known in [4,7]:
E n,q(x) =

The modifiedq-Euler numbers are defined as

k =0,
with the usual convention of replacingξ ibyξ i,q, see [10] Thus, we derive the generating function ofξ n,qas follows:
F q(t) =[2]q

∞
n =0
ξ n,q t n
Now we also consider theq-Euler polynomials ξ n,q(x) as
F q(t, x) =[2]q
∞
k =0 (−1)k e[k+x] q t =

Trang 4In the recent, several authors studied theq-extension of Genocchi numbers and
polyno-mials (see [1,2,5–7,12]) In this paper we discuss the new concept of theq-extension of
Genocchi numbers and give the same relations betweenq-Genocchi numbers and q-Euler
numbers
2.q-extension of Genocchi numbers
In this section we assume thatq ∈ Cwith| q | < 1 Now we consider the q-extension of
Genocchi numbers as follows:
g q(t) =[2]q t
∞
k =0 (−1)k e[k] q t =
∞
n =0
G n,q t n
In (2.1), it is easy to show that limq →1g q(t) =2t/(e t+ 1)=∞ n =0G n(t n /n!) From (2.1) we derive
g q(t) =[2]q t

By (2.2), we easily see that
g q(t) =[2]q

m =0

From (2.1) and (2.3) we note that

m[2] q
1− q
m − 1 m−1
l =0

By comparing the coefficients on both sides in (2.4), we have the following theorem
Theorem 2.1 For m ≥ 0,
G m,q = m[2] q

FromTheorem 2.1, we easily derive the following corollary

with the usual convention of replacing G i by G i,q
Trang 5Remark 2.3 We note thatCorollary 2.2is theq-extension of (1.6) By (1.15)–(1.19) and
Corollary 2.2, we obtain the following theorem
Theorem 2.4 For n ∈ N
ξ n,q = G n + 1 n+1,q (2.7) From (1.18) we derive
F q(x, t) =[2]q

By (2.8), we easily see that
ξ n,q(x) =

k =0
n k
[x] n − k
q q kx G k+1,q
This formula can be considered as theq-extension of (1.3) Let us consider theq-analogue
of Genocchi polynomials as follows:
g q(x, t) =[2]q t
∞
k =0
(−1)k e[k+x] q t =∞
n =0
G n,q(x) t n
Thus, we note that limq →1g q(x, t) =(2t/(e t+ 1))e xt =∞ n =0G n(x)(t n /n!) From (2.10), we easily derive
G n,q(x) =[2]q n

(2.12) Therefore, we obtain the following theorem
Trang 6Theorem 2.5 Let m( = odd) ∈ N Then the distribution of the q-Genocchi polynomials will
be as follows:
G n,q(x) = [2]q
[2]q m[m] n q −1
m−1
a =0 (−1)a G n,q m
x + a
m
where n is positive integer.
Theorem 2.5 will be used to construct the p-adic q-Genocchi measures which will
be treated in the next section Letχ be a primitive Dirichlet character with a conductor d( =odd)∈ N Then the generalizedq-Genocchi numbers attached to χ are defined as
g χ,q(t) =[2]q t
d−1
a =0
χ(n)( −1)n e[n] q t =∞
n =0
G n,χ,q t n
From (2.14), we derive
G n,χ,q = [2]q
[2]q d[d] n −1
q
d−1
a =0 (−1)a χ(a)G n,q d
a d
3.p-adic q-Genocchi measures
In this section we assume thatq ∈ C pwith|1− q | p < p −1/(p −1)so thatq x =exp(x log q).
Letχ be a primitive Dirichlet’s character with a conductor d( =odd)∈ N For any positive integersN, k, and d( =odd), letμ k = μ k,q;Gbe defined as
μ k
a + d p NZp
=(−1)a d p Nk −1
q
[2]q
[2]q d pN
G k,q d pN
d p N
By usingTheorem 2.5and (3.1), we show that
p−1
i =0
μ k
a + id p N+d p N+1Zp
= μ k
a + d p NZp
Therefore, we obtain the following theorem
Theorem 3.1 Let d be an odd positive integer For any positive integers N, k, and let μ k =
μ k,q;G be defined as
μ k
a + d p NZp
=(−1)a d p Nk −1
q
[2]q
[2]q d pN
G k,q d pN
d p N
Then μ k can be extended to a distribution on X.
From the definition ofμ kand (2.15) we note that
X χ(x)dμ k(x) = G k,χ,q (3.4)
Trang 7By (2.1) and (2.3), it is not difficult to show that
G n,q(x) =
n
k =0
n k
[x] n q − k q kx G k,q (3.5) From (3.1) and (3.5) we derive
dμ k(a) = lim
N →∞ μ k
a + d p NZp
= k[a] k −1
q dμ − q(a). (3.6) Therefore, we obtain the following corollary
Corollary 3.2 Let k be a positive integer Then,
G k,χ,q =
X χ(x)dμ k(x) = k
X χ(x)[x] k q −1dμ − q(x). (3.7)
Moreover,
G k,q = k
X[x] k −1
Remark 3.3 In the recent paper (see [1]), Cenkci et al have studiedq-Genocchi
num-bers and polynomials andp-adic q-Genocchi measures Starting from T Kim, L.-C Jang,
and H K Pak’s construction ofq-Genocchi numbers [7], they employed the method de-veloped in a series of papers by Kim [see, e.g., [5,14–16]] and they considerd another
q-analogue of Genocchi numbers G k(q) as
G k(q) = q(1 + q)
(1− q) k −1
k
m =0
k m
m( −1)m+1
which is easily derived from the generating function
F(G)
q (t) =
∞
k =0
G k(q) t k k! = q(1 + q)t
∞
n =0 (−1)n q n e[n]t (3.10)
However, theseq-Genocchi numbers and generating function do not seem to be natural
ones; in particular, these numbers cannot be represented as a nice Witt’s type formula for thep-adic invariant integral onZpand the generating function does not seems to be sim-ple and useful for deriving many interesting identities related toq-Genocchi numbers By
this reason, we considerq-Genocchi numbers and polynomials which are different Our
q-Genocchi numbers and polynomials to treat in this paper can be represented by p-adic q-fermionic integral onZp [9,13] and this integral representation also can be consid-ered as Witt’s type formula forq-Genocchi numbers These formulae are useful to study
congruences and worthwhile identities forq-Genocchi numbers By using the generating
function of ourq-Genocchi numbers, we can derive many properties and identities as
same as ordinary Genocchi numbers which were well known
