We show that the q-Digamma function psi_q for 0<q<1 appears in an iteration studied by Berg and Dur\'an. In addition we determine the probability measure \nu_q with moments 1/\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} (1-q)/(1-q^k), which are q-analogues of the…
We present an asymmetric $q$-Painlev\'e equation. We will derive this using $q$-orthogonal polynomials with respect to generalized Freud weights: their recurrence coefficients will obey this $q$-Painlev\'e equation (up to a simple…
We obtain connection coefficients between $q$-binomial and $q$-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform $q$-binomial identities into a $q$-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we…
We give an $n$-space generalized $q$-binomial theorem, and some new $q$ series identities that resemble the traditional $q$ series partition generating functions. These identities enumerate stepping stone weighted vector partitions.
In this paper, we study the binomial sum $S_{n}(q):=% \overset{n}{\underset{k=0}{\sum }}a_{k}\binom{n}{k}\left( 1-q\right) ^{k}q^{n-k}$ for a given sequence $\left( a_{n}\right) $ of real or complex numbers. We express $S_{n}(q)$ in…
A counter-intuitive result of Gauss (formulae (1.6), (1.7) below) is made less mysterious by virtue of being generalized through the introduction of an additional parameter.
We consider $q$-binomial coefficients built from the $q$-rational and $q$-real numbers defined by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko in terms of continued fractions. We establish versions of both the $q$-Pascal identity and the $q$-binomial theorem…
The aim of this paper is to present a general algebraic identity. Applying this identity, we provide several formulas involving the q-binomial coefficients and the q-harmonic numbers. We also recover some known identities including an…
We give a q-analogue of Gauss' divisibility theorem
F. Bergeron recently asked the intriguing question whether $\binom{b+c}{b}_q -\binom{a+d}{d}_q$ has nonnegative coefficients as a polynomial in $q$, whenever $a,b,c,d$ are positive integers, $a$ is the smallest, and $ad=bc$. We conjecture…
We prove the divisibility conjecture on sums of even powers of $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by Guo, Schlosser and Zudilin. Our proof relies on two $q$-harmonic series congruences due to Shi and Pan.
This is an informal and mostly expository note describing some asymptotic behavior and qualitative properties of the q-binomial coefficients. The results are mostly not new, but the overall story we present does not seem to be well known --…
In this work, we are interested by the $q$-Bessel Fourier transform with a new approach. Many important results of this $q$-integral transform are proved with a new constructive demonstrations and we establish in particular the associated…
A recent nice result due to I. Pak and G. Panova is the strict unimodality of the $q$-binomial coefficients $\binom{a+b}{b}_q$ (see \cite{PP} and also \cite{PP2} for a slightly revised version of their theorem). Since their proof used…
Recently, Ni and Pan proved a $q$-congruence on certain sums involving central $q$-binomial coefficients, which was conjectured by Guo. In this paper, we give a generalization of this $q$-congruence and confirm another $q$-congruence, also…
We introduce a q-analogue of the classical Zeta polynomial of finite partially ordered sets, as a polynomial in one variable x with coefficients depending on the indeterminate q. We prove some properties of this polynomial invariant,…
In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin [Adv. Math. 346 (2019), 329--358], we find a $q$-supercongruence with four parameters modulo $\Phi_n(q)(1-aq^n)(a-q^n)$, where $\Phi_n(q)$ denotes the…
In this paper we show that a certain algebra being a comodule algebra over the Taft Hopf algebra of dimension $n^2$ is equivalent to a set of identities related to the $q$-binomial coefficient, when $q$ is a primitive $n^{th}$ root of 1. We…
We prove that Tian's invariant on the complex Grassmann manifold $G_{p, q}(\mathbb{C})$ is equal to $1/(p+q)$.
We present a combinatorial proof of the $q$-Pfaff--Saalsch\"utz identity by a composition of explicit bijections, in which $q$-binomial coefficients are interpreted as counting subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector spaces. As a corollary, we…
