Abstract

We introduce derivations on the algebra of multiple harmonic q-series and show that they generate linear relations among the q-series which contain the derivation relations for a q-analogue of multiple zeta values due to Bradley. As a byproduct we obtain Ohno-type relations for finite multiple harmonic q-series at a root of unity.
