We first consider the q-extension ofthe generating function for the higher-order generalized Genocchi numbersandpolynomials attached to χ. The purpose of this paper is to present a systemic study of some families of higher-order generalizedq-Genocchinumbersandpolynomials attached to χ by using the generating function of those numbersand polynomials. 1. Introduction As a well known definition, the Genocchi polynomials are defined by 2t e t 1 e xt e Gxt ∞ n0 G n x t n n! , | t | <π, 1.1 where we use the technical method’s notation by replacing G n x by G n x, symbolically, see 1, 2. In the special case x 0, G n G n 0 are called the nth Genocchi numbers. From the definition of Genocchi numbers, we note that G 1 1,G 3 G 5 G 7 ··· 0, and even coefficients are given by G 2n 21 − 2 2n B 2n 2nE 2n−1 0see 3, where B n is a Bernoulli number and E n x is an Euler polynomial. The first few Genocchi numbers for 2, 4, 6, are −1, 1, −3, 17, −155, 2073, The first few prime Genocchi numbers are given by G 6 −3and G 8 17. It is known that t here are no other prime Genocchi numbers with n<10 5 . For a real or complex parameter α, the higher-order Genocchi polynomials are defined by 2t e t 1 α e xt ∞ n0 G α n x t n n! 1.2 2 Advances in Difference Equations see 1, 4. In the special case x 0, G α n G α n 0 are called the nth Genocchi numbersof order α.From1.1 and 1.2,wenotethatG n G 1 n . For d ∈ N with d ≡ 1mod 2, let χ be the Dirichlet character with conductor d. It is known that thegeneralized Genocchi polynomials attached to χ are defined by 2t d−1 a0 χ a −1 a e at e dt 1 e xt ∞ n0 G n,χ x t n n! 1.3 see 1. In the special case x 0, G n,χ G n,χ 0 are called the nth generalized Genocchi numbers attached to χ see 1, 4–6. For a real or complex parameter α, thegeneralized higher-order Genocchi polynomials attached to χ are also defined by 2t d−1 a0 χa−1 a e at e dt 1 α e xt ∞ n0 G α n,χ x t n n! 1.4 see 7. In the special case x 0, G α n,χ G α n,χ 0 are called the nth generalized Genocchi numbers attached to χ of order α see 1, 4–9.From1.3 and 1.4, we derive G n,χ G 1 n,χ . Let us assume that q ∈ C with |q| < 1 as an indeterminate. Then we, use the notation x q 1 − q x 1 − q . 1.5 The q-factorial is defined by n q ! n q n − 1 q ··· 2 q 1 q , 1.6 andthe Gaussian binomial coefficient is also defined by n k q n q ! n − k q ! k q ! n q n − 1 q ··· n − k 1 q k q ! 1.7 see 5, 10.Notethat lim q → 1 n k q n k n n − 1 ··· n − k 1 k! . 1.8 It is known that n 1 k q n k − 1 q q k n k q q n1−k n k − 1 q n k q , 1.9 Advances in Difference Equations 3 see 5, 10.Theq-binomial formula are known that x − y n q x − y x − qy ··· x − q n−1 y n i0 n i q q i 2 −1 i x n−i y i , 1 x − y n q 1 x − y x − qy ··· x − q n−1 y ∞ l0 n l − 1 l q x n−l y l , 1.10 see10, 11. There is an unexpected connection with q-analysis and quantum groups, and thus with noncommutative geometry q-analysis is a sort of q-deformation ofthe ordinary analysis. Spherical functions on quantum groups are q-special functions. Recently, many authors have studied the q-extension in various areas see 1–15. Govil and Gupta 10 have introduced a new type of q-integrated Meyer-K ¨ onig-Zeller-Durrmeyer operators, and their results are closely related to the study of q-Bernstein polynomialsandq-Genocchi polynomials, which are treated in this paper. In this paper, we first consider the q-extension ofthe generating function for the higher-order generalized Genocchi numbersandpolynomials attached to χ. The purpose of this paper is to present a systemic study of some families of higher-order generalizedq-Genocchinumbersandpolynomials attached to χ by using the generating function of those numbersand polynomials. 2. Generalizedq-GenocchiNumbersandPolynomials For r ∈ N, let us consider the q-extension ofthegeneralized Genocchi polynomialsof order r attached to χ as follows: F r q,χ t, x 2 r t r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 ⎛ ⎝ r j1 χ m j ⎞ ⎠ −1 r j1 m j e xm 1 ···m r q t ∞ n0 G r n,χ,q x t n n! . 2.1 Note that lim q → 1 F r q,χ t, x 2t d−1 a0 χa −1 a e at e dt 1 r e xt . 2.2 By 2.1 and 1.4, we can see that lim q → 1 G r n,χ,q xG r n,χ x.From2.1,wenotethat G r 0,χ,q x G r 1,χ,q x ··· G r r−1,χ,q x 0, G r nr,χ,q x nr r r! 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 ⎛ ⎝ r j1 χ m j ⎞ ⎠ −1 r j1 m j x m 1 ··· m r n q . 2.3 4 Advances in Difference Equations In the special case x 0, G r n,χ,q G r n,χ,q 0 are called the nth generalizedq-Genocchinumbersof order r attached to χ. Therefore, we obtain the following theorem. Theorem 2.1. For r ∈ N, one has G r nr,χ,q nr r r! 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 r i1 χ m i −1 r j1 m j m 1 ··· m r n q . 2.4 Note that 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 r i1 χ m i −1 r j1 m j m 1 ··· m r n q 2 r 1 − q n n l0 n l −1 l d−1 a 1 , ,a r 0 ⎛ ⎝ r j1 χ a j ⎞ ⎠ −q l r i1 a i 1 q ld r . 2.5 Thus we obtain the following corollary.

Therefore, we obtain the following theorem. Theorem 2.3. For h ∈ Z,r ∈ N, one has G h,r nr,χ,q x nr r r! 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 q r j1 h−jm j r i1 χ m i −1 r j1 m j x m 1 ··· m r n q 2 r 1 − q n n l0 n l −q x l d−1 a 1 , ,a r 0 r j1 χ a j q r j1 h−ja j −q l r j1 a i −q dh−rl ; q r , G h,r 0,χ,q x G h,r 1,χ,q x ··· G h,r r−1,χ,q x 0. 2.9 Note that 1 −q dh−rl ; q r 1 1 q dh−rl ∞ m0 m r − 1 m q −1 m q dh−rlm . 2.10 By 2.10, one sees that 1 1 − q n n l0 n l −1 l q lx r i1 a i −q dh−rl ; q r ∞ m0 m r − 1 m q −1 m q dh−rm 1 1 − q n n l0 n l −1 l q lx r i1 a i dm ∞ m0 m r − 1 m q −1 m q dh−rm x r i1 a i dm n q . 2.11 6 Advances in Difference Equations By 2.10 and 2.11, we obtain t he following corollary.

G h,r nr,χ,q x nr r r! . 2.13 For h r in Theorem 2.3, we obtain the following corollary. Corollary 2.6. For r ∈ N, one has G r,r nr,χ,q x 2 r 1 − q n n l0 n l −q x l d−1 a 1 , ,a r 0 ⎛ ⎝ r j1 χ a j ⎞ ⎠ q r j1 r−ja j la j −1 a 1 ···a r −q dl ; q r 2 r ∞ m0 m r − 1 m q −1 m d−1 a 1 , ,a r 0 ⎛ ⎝ r j1 χ a j ⎞ ⎠ q r j1 r−ja j x r i1 a i dm n q . 2.14 In particular, G r,r nr,χ,q −1 r − x nr r r! −1 n q n r 2 G r,r nr,χ,q x nr r r! . 2.15 Let x r in Corollary 2.6. Then one has G r,r nr,χ,q −1 nr r r! −1 n q n r 2 G r,r nr,χ,q r nr r r! . 2.16 Advances in Difference Equations 7 Let w 1 ,w 2 , ,w r ∈ Q . Then, one has defines Barnes’ type generalizedq-Genocchipolynomials attached to χ as follows: F r q,χ t, x | w 1 ,w 2 , ,w r 2 r t r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 r i1 χ m i −1 m 1 ···m r e x r j1 w j m j q t ∞ n0 G r n,χ,q x | w 1 ,w 2 , ,w r t n n! . 2.17 By 2.17, one sees that G r nr,χ,q x | w 1 , ,w r nr r r! 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 r i1 χ m i −1 r j1 m j ⎡ ⎣ x r j1 w j m j ⎤ ⎦ n q . 2.18 It is easy to see that 2 r ∞ m 1 , ,m r 0 r i1 χ m i −1 m 1 ···m r ⎡ ⎣ x r j1 w j m j ⎤ ⎦ n q 2 r 1 − q n n l0 n l −q x l d−1 a 1 , ,a r 0 r j1 χ a j −1 r j1 a j q l r j1 w i a i 1 q dlw 1 ··· 1 q dlw r . 2.19 Therefore, we obtain the following theorem. Theorem 2.7.
