Abstract

We describe the qFunctions Mathematica package for qq-series and partition theory applications. This package includes both experimental and symbolic tools. The experimental set of elements includes guessers for qq-shift equations and recurrences for given qq-series and fitting/finding explicit expressions for sequences of polynomials. This package can symbolically handle formal manipulations on qq-differential, qq-shift equations and recurrences, such as switching between these forms, finding the greatest common divisor of recurrences, and formal substitutions. Here, we also extend the classical method of the weighted words approach. Moreover, qFunctions has implementations that automate the recurrence system creation of the weighted words approach as well as a scheme on cylindric partitions.
