Abstract
Recently, some identities of degenerate Euler polynomials arising fromp-adic fermionic integrals onZpwere introduced in Kim and Kim (Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26(4):295-302, 2015). In this paper, we study degenerateq-Euler polynomials which are derived fromp-adicq-integrals onZp.

1 Introduction
Letpbe a fixed odd prime number. Throughout this paper,Zp,Qp andCpwill denote the ring ofp-adic integers, the field ofp-adic rational numbers and the completion of algebraic closure ofQp, respectively. Letνpbe the normalized exponential valuation inCp with|p|p=p–νp(p)=p.
Letqbe an indeterminate inCpsuch that| –q|p<p–
p–. Theq-extension ofxis defined
as [x]q=–q–qx. Note thatlimq→[x]q=x. Forf ∈C(Zp) ={f |,f is aCp-valued continuous
function onZp}, the fermionicp-adicq-integral onZpis defined by Kim to be
I–q(f) =

f(x)dμ–q(x) = lim N→∞

x=
f(x)(–q)x (see [, ]), (.)
where [x]–q=–(–q)+qx. By (.), we easily get
qI–q(f) +I–q(f) = []qf()
f(x) =f(x+ )
, (.)
and
qnI–q(fn) + (–)n–I–q(f) = []q n–
l=
(–)n––lqlf(l) (n∈N), (.)
wherefn(x) =f(x+n) (see [–]).

whereE(r)n (x) are the higher-order Euler polynomials. Thus, by (.), we get
lim

n (x|λ) =En(r)(x) (n≥). (.)
Whenx= ,En(r)(λ) =En(r)(|λ) are called the higher-order degenerate Euler numbers, whilelimλ→En(r)(λ) =En(r)are called the higher-order Euler numbers.
In [], it was shown that

where (x)n=x(x– )· · ·(x–n+ ) andn∈Z≥.
In this paper, we studyq-extensions of the degenerate Euler polynomials and give some formulae and identities of those polynomials which are derived from the fermionicp-adic
q-integrals onZp.
