Curious $q$-analogues

Consider the Fibonacci polynomials $$F_n (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{\left\lfloor {n/2} \right\rfloor }\binom{n-j}{j} x^{n - 2j} $$ and the Lucas polynomials $$L_n (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{\left\lfloor {n/2} \...

Is a basic hypergeometric function ${}_2\phi_1(a, b; c; q, z)$ a meromorphic function in $z$?

Here a basic hypergeometric function is the analytic continuation of the basic hypergeometric series (or called the $q$-hypergeometric series) $$ {}_2\phi_1(a, b; c; q, z) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0} \...

Does the Riemann characterization of the hypergeometric function have a q-analog?

This question is inspired by another recent one here, Characterization of the hypergeometric function. The latter is about the classical result of Riemann characterizing the hypergeometric functions ...
