Symmetry, integrability and geometry: methods and applications, Tome 5 (2009)

Résumé

We present an explicit expression for the $q$-difference system, which the $BC_1$-type Jackson integral ($q$-series) satisfies, as first order simultaneous $q$-difference equations with a concrete basis. As an application, we give a simple proof for the hypergeometric summation formula introduced by Gustafson and the product formula of the $q$-integral introduced by Nassrallah–Rahman and Gustafson.

Détail

Keywords: $q$-difference equations; Jackson integral of type $BC_1$; GustafsonвЂTMs $C_n$-type sum; Nassrallah–Rahman integral.
