A new proof of the orthogonality relation for the big $q$-Jacobi polynomials is also given. A simple evaluation of the Nassrallah-Rahman integral is derived by using this summation formula. A new $q$-beta integral formula is established, which includes the Nassrallah-Rahman integral as a special case. The $q$-summation formula also allows us to recover several strange $q$-series identities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-12T06:21:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A30", "33D15", "33D45", "11E25" ], "keywords": [ "hahn polynomials", "orthogonality relation", "jacobi polynomials", "summation formula", "nassrallah-rahman integral" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
