F. H. Jackson defined aq analogue of the gamma function which extends theq-factorial (n!)q=1(1+q)(1+q+q2)...(1+q+q2+...+qn−1) to positivex. Askey studied this function and obtained analogues of most of the classical facts about the gamma function, for 0<q<1. He proved an analogue of the Bohr-Mollerup theorem, which states that a logarithmically convex function satisfyingf(1)=1 andf(x+1)=[(qx−1)/(q−1)]f(x) is in fact theq-gamma function He also studied the behavior ofΓq asq changes and showed that asq→1−, theq-gamma function becomes the ordinary gamma function forx>0.I proved many of these results forq>1. The current paper contains a study of the behavior ofΓq(x) forx<0 and allq>0. In addition to some basic properties ofΓq, we will study the behavior of the sequence {xn(q)} of critical points asn orq changes.
