A new proof of the $q$-Dixon identity
Victor J. W. Guo
Received February 2, 2017. Published online April 16, 2018.
Abstract:
We give a new and elementary proof of Jackson's terminating $q$-analogue of Dixon's identity by using recurrences and induction.
Keywords:
$q$-binomial coefficient; $q$-Dixon identity; recurrence
