The -binomial coefficient is a q-analog for the binomial coefficient, also called a Gaussian coefficient or a Gaussian polynomial. A -binomial coefficient is given by
(1) |
where
(2) |
is a q-series (Koepf 1998, p. 26). For ,
(3) |
where is a q-factorial (Koepf 1998, p. 30). The -binomial coefficient can also be defined in terms of the q-brackets by
(4) |
The -binomial is implemented in the Wolfram Language as QBinomial[n, m, q].
For , the -binomial coefficients turn into the usual binomial coefficient.
The special case
(5) |
is sometimes known as the q-bracket.
The -binomial coefficient satisfies the recurrence equation
(6) |
for all and , so every -binomial coefficient is a polynomial in . The first few -binomial coefficients are

(10) |
From the definition, it follows that

The -binomial coefficient can be constructed by building all -subsets of , summing the elements of each subset, and taking the sum
(14) |
over all subset-sums (Kac and Cheung 2001, p. 19).
The -binomial coefficient can also be interpreted as a polynomial in whose coefficient counts the number of distinct partitions of elements which fit inside an rectangle. For example, the partitions of 1, 2, 3, and 4 are given in the following table.
partitions | |
0 | |
1 | |
2 | |
3 | |
4 |
Of these, , , , , , and fit inside a box. The counts of these having 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 elements are 1, 1, 2, 1, and 1, so the (4, 2)-binomial coefficient is given by
(15) |
as above.
