POSITIVITY PRESERVING TRANSFORMATIONS FOR q-BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS

چکیده

Abstract. Several new transformations for q-binomial coefficients are found, which have the special feature that the kernel is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients. By studying the group-like properties of these positivity preserving transformations, as well as their connection with the Bailey lemma, many new summation and transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series are found. The new q-binomial transformations are also applied to obtain multisum Rogers–Ramanujan identities, to find new representations for the Rogers–Szegö polynomials, and to make some progress on Bressoud’s generalized Borwein conjecture. For the original Borwein conjecture we formulate a refinement based on a new triple sum representations of the Borwein polynomials.

Linear Transformations Preserving the Strong $q$-log-convexity of Polynomials

In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for the linear transformation preserving the strong q-log-convexity. As applications, we get some linear transformations (for instance, Morgan-Voyce transformation, binomial transformation, Narayana transformations of two kinds) preserving the strong q-log-convexity. In addition, our results not only extend some known results, but also imply the str...

Gamma-positivity of Variations of Eulerian Polynomials

An identity of Chung, Graham and Knuth involving binomial coefficients and Eulerian numbers motivates our study of a class of polynomials that we call binomial-Eulerian polynomials. These polynomials share several properties with the Eulerian polynomials. For one thing, they are h-polynomials of simplicial polytopes, which gives a geometric interpretation of the fact that they are palindromic a...

A q-RIOUS POSITIVITY

The q-binomial coefficients [ n m ] = ∏m i=1(1 − qn−m+i)/(1 − q), for integers 0 ≤ m ≤ n, are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients. This readily follows from the q-binomial theorem, or the many combinatorial interpretations of [ n m ] . In this note we conjecture an arithmetically motivated generalisation of the non-negativity property for products of ratios of q-facto...

The q-Log-convexity of the Generating Functions of the Squares of Binomial Coefficients

We prove a conjecture of Liu and Wang on the q-log-convexity of the polynomial sequence { ∑n k=0 ( n k )2 q}n≥0. By using Pieri’s rule and the Jacobi-Trudi identity for Schur functions, we obtain an expansion of a sum of products of elementary symmetric functions in terms of Schur functions with nonnegative coefficients. Then the principal specialization leads to the q-log-convexity. We also pr...
