Evaluation of sums of products of Gaussian q-binomial coefficients with rational weight functions
Generalizing earlier results, sums over the products of the Gaussian q-binomial coefficients are computed. Some applications of the results for special choices of q are emphasized. The results are obtained by the elementary technique of partial fraction decomposition.
