The goal of this paper is to define the ( p , q ) -analogue of tangent numbers and polynomials by generalizing the tangent numbers and polynomials and Carlitz-type q-tangent numbers and polynomials. We get some explicit formulas and properties in conjunction with ( p , q ) -analogue of tangent numbers and polynomials. We give some new symmetric identities for ( p , q ) -analogue of tangent polynomials by using ( p , q ) -tangent zeta function. Finally, we investigate the distribution and symmetry of the zero of ( p , q ) -analogue of tangent polynomials with numerical methods.
