Abstract
A class of special solutions are constructed in an intuitive way for the ultradiscrete analog of q-Painlevé II (q-PII) equation. The solutions are classified into four groups depending on the function-type and the system parameter.

Key words: ultradiscretization; Painlevé equation; Airy equation; q-difference equation.
