Abstract.

We present explicit formulae for q-exponentials on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e. the q-deformed Minkowski space and the q-deformed Euclidean space with two, three or four dimensions. Furthermore, these formulae can be viewed as 2-, 3- or 4-dimensional analogues of the well-known q-exponential function.
