Twisted dendriform algebras and the pre-Lie Magnus expansion

Abstract

In this paper an application of the recently introduced pre-Lie Magnus expansion to Jackson's q-integral and q-exponentials is presented. Twisted dendriform algebras, which are the natural algebraic framework for Jackson's q-analogues, are introduced for that purpose. It is shown how the pre-Lie Magnus expansion is used to solve linear q-differential equations. We also briefly outline the theory of linear equations in twisted dendriform algebras.Comment: improved version; accepted for publication in the Journal of Pure & Applied Algebr
