TWO IDENTITIES FOR MULTIPLE HARMONIC q-SERIES
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial coefficients. Special cases of these identities—for example, with all parameters equal to 1—have occurred in the literature. The special case with only one parameter reduces to an identity for the divisor generating function, which has received some attention in connection with problems in sorting theory.

متن کاملMultiple q-zeta values
We introduce a q-analog of the multiple harmonic series commonly referred to as multiple zeta values. The multiple q-zeta values satisfy a q-stuffle multiplication rule analogous to the stuffle multiplication rule arising from the series representation of ordinary multiple zeta values. Additionally, multiple q-zeta values can be viewed as special values of the multiple q-polylogarithm, which ad...

متن کاملNew Identities of Hall-Littlewood Polynomials and Rogers-Ramanujan Type
where a = 0 or 1, are among the most famous q-series identities in partitions and combinatorics. Since their discovery the Rogers-Ramanujan identities have been proved and generalized in various ways (see [2, 4, 5, 13] and the references cited there). In [13], by adapting a method of Macdonald for calculating partial fraction expansions of symmetric formal power series, Stembridge gave an unusu...
متن کاملOne Parameter Models of Hopf Algebras Associated with Multiple Zeta Values
since the algebraic structure of the relations between these numbers (in comparison with a conjectured empty structure for (1)) is fairly rich. The numbers (2) are called the multiple zeta values (MZVs for brevity), or the multiple harmonic series, or the Euler–Zagier numbers. To each (2) we assign, as usual, two characteristics: the weight (or the degree) |s| := s1 + s2 + · · ·+ sl and the len...
