Summary: The study of \(q\)-Stirling numbers of the second kind began with \textit{L. Carlitz} [Duke Math. J. 15, 987--1000 (1948; Zbl 0032.00304)]. Following Carlitz, we derive some identities and relations related to \(q\)-Stirling numbers of the second kind which appear to be either new or else new ways of expressing older ideas more comprehensively.
\(q\)-Stirling numbers of the second kind, Exact enumeration problems, generating functions, Arithmetic functions; related numbers; inversion formulas, Bell and Stirling numbers, \(q\)-factorial, Combinatorial identities, bijective combinatorics
