Abstract: In this paper, q-analogues of the Sumudu transform, along with an inversion formula and some explicit
computations, are presented. This work essentially focuses on q-analogues of the inverse Sumudu transform and
the construction method of the inversion formula via a path integral along a Bromwich contour. It is also shown
how the complex inversion formulas considered in this paper admit q-expansions that yield various inverse q-
Sumudu transforms for q-series.

1 Introduction
Integral transforms have gained importance and are
ubiquitous, mainly because of their tremendous abil-
ity to be used in various fields of applied sciences and
engineering. The best known and mostly used inte-
gral transforms are Laplace, Fourier, Mellin and Han-
kel. In 1993, Watugala, [1], added another dimension
to this research by proposing a new integral transform,
which is called the Sumudu transform, and he used
it in control engineering problems to obtain the solu-
tions of certain ordinary differential equations. In this
way, Weerakoon, [2], provide the Sumudu transform
of partial derivatives as well as the complex inversion
formula for this transform, and put it to use in the solu-
tion of partial differential equations. Despite the fact
that the Sumudu transform is the hypothetical dual of
the Laplace transform, it has a wide range of applica-
tions in science and engineering due to its special core
properties. Its main advantage is that it can be used to
solve problems without having to use a new frequency
domain, since it has scale and unit conservation prop-
erties [3]. Readers are recommended to refer to [4],
[5], [6] for more information on this matter.
The origin of q-calculus dates back to the late 18th
century. In some works, q-calculus is also referred to
as limitless calculus. The letter qcomes from quan-
tum. In recent years, q-calculus has found its applica-
tions in many fields, especially quantum mechanics.
In q-calculus the concepts of q-series, q-derivatives
and q-integrals have as much importance as series,
derivatives and integrals in classical calculus [7]. The
q-series has been applied in numerous areas of mathe-
matics and physics, such as optimal control problems,
[8], arbitrary order (fractional) computation, [9], q-
transform analysis, [10], geometric function theory,
[11], and the discovery of solutions to the q-difference
equations [12], [13]. q-differential (or q-difference)
equations arise as a result of mathematical modeling
in the solution of many problems in mathematics and
physics, just like the classical ones. One of the most
comprehensive techniques for solving q-differential
(or q-difference) equations is the q-integral transform
method. In this method, the most commonly used
q-integral transforms to solved the q-differential (or
q-difference) equations are q-Laplace, q-Fourier, q-
Mellin transforms. (see, [14], [15], [16], [17], [18],
[19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24])
Through this method, a q-differential (or q-
difference) equation is reduced to an algebraic prob-
lem that is easier to solve with the help of the trans-
formed function, rather than the q-derivative. The in-
verse q-integral transform is then used to obtain the
solution of the original problem. Motivated by the
applications of classical Sumudu transform, Albayrak
et al. considered and studied basic (or q-) analogues
of Sumudu transform. They also considered basic
properties and gave q-Sumudu transforms of some q-
functions and their special cases (see [25, 26]). Cer-
tain inversion and representation theorems and their
applications to q-Sumudu transforms are also dis-
cussed in [27]. More recently, Purohit and Uçar, [28],
using the q-Sumudu transforms gave an alternative
solution to the q-kinetic equation with fractional q-
integral operators of the Riemann-Liouville category.
Though it is acceptable to rely on lists and tables
of function transforms while looking for solutions to
differential equations, having access to inverse trans-
form formulas is always a significantly better tool for
engineers and mathematicians. Using the Cauchy hy-
pothesis together with the residue theorem, Belgacem
and Karaballi [4] proved a theorem (using Bromwich
contour integral) with respect to the complex inverse
Sumudu transform. In this article, we aim to present
