$q$-Rational Reduction and $q$-Analogues of Series for $\pi$

Abstract

In this paper, we present a qq-analogue of the polynomial reduction which was originally developed for hypergeometric terms. Using the qq-Gosper representation, we describe the structure of rational functions that are summable when multiplied with a given qq-hypergeometric term. The structure theorem enables us to generalize the qq-polynomial reduction to the rational case, which can be used in the automatic proof and discovery of qq-identities. As applications, several qq-analogues of series for π\pi are presented.
