Abstract: | The authors translate the main results in the paper entitled “Multiplicative Decomposition of Multivariate q-Hypergeometric Terms” from Chinese into English. The paper is written by Shaoshi Chen, Ruyong Feng, Guofeng Fu and Jing Kang, and published in Journal of Mathematics and Systems Science, 32(8), 1019–1032, 2012. Some minor simplification and modification are made during the translation. Based on the results in the above paper, a special form is derived for q-shift exponents appearing in the q-shift quotients of a q-hypergeometric term. |
