Abstract
A -deformation of the middle convolution was introduced by Sakai and Yamaguchi. We apply it to a linear -difference equation associated with the -Painlev\'e VI equation. Then we obtain integral transformations. We investigate the -middle convolution in terms of the affine Weyl group symmetry of the -Painlev\'e VI equation. We deduce an integral transformation on the -Heun equation.
