Noun

Jackson integral (plural Jackson integrals)

(mathematics) The series expansion $\int _{0}^{a}f(x)\,{\rm {d}}_{q}x=(1-q)\,a\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }q^{k}f(q^{k}a).$ $\int _{0}^{a}f(x)\,{\rm {d}}_{q}x=(1-q)\,a\sum _{k=0}^{\infty }q^{k}f(q^{k}a).$ for real variable a and function of a real variable f(x).
