The G\"ollnitz-Gordon identities were found by G\"ollnitz and Gordon independently. In 1967, Andrews obtained a combinatorial generalization of the G\"ollnitz-Gordon identities, called the Andrews-G\"ollnitz-Gordon theorem. In 1980,…

We prove a master identity for a class of sequences defined by full-history linear homogeneous recurrences with (non-negative) constant coefficients. The identity is derived in a combinatorial way, providing thus combinatorial proofs for…

In this article, a short combinatorial proof of the Capelli's identity is given. It also leads to an easy proof of the Capelli--Cauchy--Binet identity, a more general form of Capelli's identity. With the technique introduced, the Turnbull's…
