We give some interesting equation of p-adic q-integrals on
Z
−1
. When
one talks of q-extension, q is considered as an indeterminate, a complex number q ∈ C, or
p-adic number q ∈ C
p
. If q ∈ C, we normally assume that |q| < 1, and if q ∈ C
p
, we normally
assume that |1 − q|
p
< 1. We use the notation
