Abstract: We introduce and study a class of \(u\)-deformed homogeneous functions of complex order \(\rr_α(x,y;u\,|\,q)\), obtained by extending \(u\)-deformed homogeneous polynomials beyond the nonnegative integer regime. We establish their basic analytic and algebraic properties, including convergence criteria, recurrence relations, \(q\)-derivative formulas, and an operator-theoretic realization through a deformed \(q\)-exponential operator. A central feature of the theory appears in the negative-index sector: for every nonnegative integer \(n\), the functions \(\rr_{\minus n\minus1}(x,y;u\,|\,q)\) admit finite triangular decompositions in terms of shifted Ramanujan partial theta functions. We also prove the inverse triangular transformation, showing that the corresponding partial theta functions can be recovered from the negative-index \(u\)-deformed homogeneous functions. We also derive pantograph-type \(q\)-difference equations for these functions. Finally, we derive specialized forms of the negative-index theory in Cauchy and Stieltjes--Wigert-type regimes, including a boundary geometric case and genuine partial-theta regimes.
