One of the purest examples of self-plagiarism. Accompanied by several and, from my personal point of view, most disappointing paradoxes. The first one lies in the easy detection of cheating: everyone would immediately notice that the last section 5 (Conclusions) practically coincides with the last section 7 (Conclusions) of ref. [41]. The second paradox lies in the multiplicity of my own role in the story: ref. [41] has been accepted after my enthusiastic guest-editor's recommendation. For this reason, paradoxically, I was able to reveal now the total failure of the refereeing barriers in Rep. Math. Phys. where neither the carbon-copied form of the text nor the full coincidence of the majority of relevant equations have been detected. For getting its flavor and extent, the reader may check that the ``new" final sequence of equations (57) - (73) of section 4 strictly coincides with the ``old" final sequence of equations (54) - (62) concatenated with another sequence of equations (34) - (39) carbon-copied from section 4 of ref. [41]. The last but not least paradox is that in the extended abstract of ref. [41] (written in March 2009 by myself -- see MR2455812/2009h:81163) I recommended to start reading the text (published in the special issue of J. Phys. A) from the last section. Not being aware that after a minor revision and cca one year later, we shall all be given the second try in Rep. Math. Phys. MR2591149 Lavagno, A. Basic-deformed quantum mechanics. Rep. Math. Phys. 64 (2009), no. 1-2, 79--91. 81R50 (33D90 81Q65) =========on [41]:======== •3. 3. 2009 MR2455812 Lavagno, A. Deformed quantum mechanics and $q$-Hermitian operators. J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41 (2008), no. 24, 244014, 9 pp. 81S05 (39A20 81Q05 81R50) (2009h:81163) Compact and neat presentation of a fresh idea -- either a proposal of a new family of Schroedinger equations for quantum theory or a proposal of a new realization of Hilbert spaces. For accelerated reading I would recommend skipping all the tutorials and start reading from the last section 6 which looks like just a summary of the standard principles of quantum mechanics. Using a slightly strange notation. The impatient reader is then recommended to search for definitions in section 5. There, the notation is explained as, in essence, converting the vector space of wave functions into the Hilbert space of states. Based on the introduction of a certain fairly specific and nonstandard inner product called q-deformed product. Now, the reader understands the point and may return, if necessary, to section 2 (which explains what is q-calculus and how one can get the Jackson's representation of q-deformed Heisenberg algebra) and sections 3 and 4 which recollect some author's older results on q-deformed Fokker-Planck equation which, via the Risken's stochastic quantization, enable him to arrive finally at the q-deformed Hamiltonian (34).
