In this work we study the chaotic and periodic asymptotics for the confluent basic hypergeometric series. For a fixed
q(0,1), the asymptotics for Euler's
q-exponential,
q-Gamma function
Γq(x),
q-Airy function of K. Kajiwara, T.
Masuda, M. Noumi, Y. Ohta and Y. Yamada, Ramanujan function (
q-Airy function), Jackson's
q-Bessel function of second kind, Ismail–Masson orthogonal polynomials (
q−1-Hermite polynomials), Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials,
q-Laguerre polynomials could be derived as special cases.
