Some algebras similar to the 2x2 Jordanian matrix algebras

The impetus for this study is the work of Dumas and Rigal on the Jordanian deformation of the ring of coordinate functions on $2\times 2$ matrices. We are also motivated by current interest in birational equivalence of noncommutative rings. Recognizing the construction of the Jordanian matrix algebra as a skew polynomial ring, we construct a family of algebras relative to differential operator rings over a polynomial ring in one variable which are birationally equivalent to the Weyl algebra over a polynomial ring in two variables.
