Using the $q$-Gosper representation, we describe the structure of rational functions that are summable when multiplied with a given $q$-hypergeometric term. The structure theorem enables us to generalize the $q$-polynomail reduction to the rational case, which can be used in the automatic proof and discovery of $q$-identities. As applications, several $q$-analogues of series for $\\pi$ are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-30T04:29:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19", "05A10", "11B65" ], "keywords": [ "rational reduction", "hypergeometric term", "structure theorem enables", "polynomial reduction", "polynomail reduction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
