Abstract

Stirling numbers of second kind S(n,k) denotes the number of ways partitioning a set of n elements into k nonempty sets. There are many types of stirling numbers which are studied up to now. In this study, we use extended stirling numbers of second kind which are defined for arbitrary reals. First, we define a relation between extended stirling numbers and q-B-splines by using the property that divided differences have a representation with q-B-splines. In addition, we derive identities on stirling numbers and q-integral of q-B-splines. Furthermore, we give q-generating functions of extended stirling numbers and define a q-difference equation for this function.
