On alternating sums of binomial and q-binomial coefficients

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we shall evaluate two alternating sums of binomial coefficients by a combinatorial argument. Moreover, by combining the same combinatorial idea with partition theoretic techniques, we provide ^-analogues involving the g-binomial coefficients. Our results are a generalisation of some previous work by Guo and Zhang.
