A $q$-analogue of a characterization of polynomials by binomial coefficients

Considering the binomial coefficient $\binom{x}{m}$ as a polynomial in $x$, the span of $\binom{x}{0}, \binom{x}{1}, \ldots, \binom{x}{d}$ is exactly the polynomials of degree $\le d$. A closely ...

q-Integer-valued polynomials

For $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, let $[n]_q := (1-q^n)/(1-q) = (1+q+...+q^{n-1})$ as is customary, with $[0]_q=0$. Let $R$ be the subring of $\mathbb{Q}(q)[x]$ consisting of all $f$ such that $f([n]...
