We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Construction of the generalised q-derivative operators
Dayanand Parashar and Deepak Parashar
Abstract
This investigation pertains to the construction of a class of generalised deformed derivative operators which furnish the familiar finite difference and the q-derivatives as special cases. The procedure involves the introduction of a linear operator which is multiplicative over functions of a real variable. The validity of the general prescriptions is ascertained by considering suitable examples of such derivatives and constructing their eigenfunctions explicitly. The relationship of a particular version of the operator with the one-dimensional Möbius transformation is also established.
