Abstract
In this paper, we present a procedure for the numerical q-calculation of the q-integrals based on
appropriate nodes and weights which are determined such that the error of q-integration is mini-
mized; a system of linear and nonlinear set of equations respectively are prepared to obtain the
nodes and weights simultaneously; the error of q-integration is considered to be minimized under
this condition; finally some application and numerical examples are given for comparison with the
exact solution. At the end, the related tables of approximations are presented.

1. Introduction
Recently, much attention has been paid on q-calculus, especially on q-fractional calculus which finally most of
them have changed to q-integral not easy and even possible to be solved analytically [1]. Although some series
expansions have been developed for quantum integrals [2] and quantum differential equations and quantum dif-
ference equations [3]-[6] or q-fractional calculus [6] [7], but because of small fractional power in the series ex-
pansion, one will expect a high degree of error in the truncated series [7]-[9]. The nominal numerical methods
for approximating integrals do not seem to be appropriate for q-integrals. We could find less works for develop-
ing numerical procedures for accurate numerical solutions [9]-[14]. In this paper, we present a procedure for the
numerical q-calculation of the q-integrals based on appropriate nodes and weights which are determined such
that the error of q-integration is minimized. This study is organized such that in Section 2 we introduce the basic
