Abstract
In this paper we introduce a q-analogue of the incomplete poly-Bernoulli numbers and incomplete poly-Cauchy numbers by using the q-Hurwitz–Lerch zeta Function. Then we study several combinatorial properties of these new sequences. Moreover, we give some relations between the q-Hurwitz type incomplete poly-Bernoulli numbers, the q-Hurwitz type incomplete poly-Cauchy numbers and the incomplete Stirling numbers of both kinds.
