Abstract

The purpose of this article is to find many solutions of the canonical q-difference equations for q-Appell functions Φ2, Φ3, Φ4, starting with the first four ones, previously published. Furthermore, q-Laplace integral expressions for two of these functions in the form q-confluent functions are used to find more solutions. In order to explain the discrepancies between meromorphic continuations of multiple q-hypergeometric functions and q-analogues of analytic continuations of corresponding multiple hypergeometric functions, the notion pseudo-meromorphic continuation is introduced to denote equivalence classes of solutions of other q-analogues of systems of partial differential equations. To this end, we introduce equivalence classes of (systems of) partial q-difference equations. Some q-integrals for corresponding q-Appell functions and the second q-Horn function are also proved. In the process, we find a meromorphic continuation of the second q-Horn function. In some formulas, abbreviated notations are used together with combinatorial reasonings. Many proofs use formulas from our first book, which are quoted in detail.
