In a recent paper by the authors, a bounded version of Goellnitz's (big) partition theorem was established. Here we show among other things how this theorem leads to nontrivial new polynomial analogues of certain fundamental identities of…

We first prove that if $a$ has a prime factor not dividing $b$ then there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\binom {an+bn} {an}$ is not divisible by $bn+1$. This confirms a recent conjecture of Z.-W. Sun. Moreover, we…

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…

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…

We give combinatorial proofs of $q$-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz's identity, a new proof of the $q$-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg's Hankel…

Product identities in two variables $x, q$ expand infinite products as infinite sums, which are linear combinations of theta functions; famous examples include Jacobi's triple product identity, Watson's quintuple identity, and Hirschhorn's…

The $q$-analogue of the binomial coefficient, known as a $q$-binomial coefficient, is typically denoted $\left[{n \atop k}\right]_q$. These polynomials are important combinatorial objects, often appearing in generating functions related to…

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.

Fractional $q$-extensions of some classical $q$-orthogonal polynomials are introduced and some of the main properties of the new defined functions are given. Next, a fractional $q$-difference equation of Gauss type is introduced and solved…

We extend partition-theoretic work of Andrews, Bressoud, and Burge to overpartitions, defining the notions of successive ranks, generalized Durfee squares, and generalized lattice paths, and then relating these to overpartitions defined by…

We derive a generalized Rogers generating function and corresponding definite integral, for the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials by applying its connection relation and utilizing orthogonality. Using a recent generalization of the…

In this paper, we establish a q-analog of partial fraction decomposition formula. By using formula, we develop new closed form representations of sums of q-harmonic numbers and reciprocal q-binomial coefficients. Moreover, we give explicit…

Quite recently, the first author investigated vanishing coefficients of the arithmetic progressions in several $q$-series expansions. In this paper, we further study the signs of coefficients in two $q$-series expansions and establish some…

We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…

We study polynomial identities satisfied by the mutation product $xpy - yqx$ on the underlying vector space of an associative algebra $A$, where $p, q$ are fixed elements of $A$. We simplify known results for identities in degree $4$,…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. We prove an estimate for fractional parts of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ satisfying a certain divisibility condition…

We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…
