The combinatorics of q-Hermite polynomials and the Askey-Wilson integral (Q1101586)

A combinatorial proof of \[ I=\frac{(q)_{\infty}}{2\pi}\int^{\pi}_{0}w(\cos \theta,a,b,c,d| q)d\theta = \frac{(abcd)_{\infty}}{(ab)_{\infty}(ac)_{\infty}(ad)_{\infty}(bc) _{\infty}(bd)_{U}(cd)_{\infty}}, \] where \[ w(\cos \theta,a,b,c,d| q)\quad = \] \[ =\quad \frac{(e^{2i\theta})_{\infty}(e^{- 2i\theta})_{\infty}}{(ae^{i\theta})_{\infty}(ae^{-i\quad \theta})_{\infty}(be^{i\theta})_{\infty}(be^{- i\theta})_{\infty}(ce^{i\theta})_{\infty}(ce^{- i\theta})_{\infty}(de^{i\theta})_{\infty}(de^{- i\theta})_{\infty}} \] by considering it as the generating functions for the integral on the product of four q-Hermite polynomials is derived. Another set of polynomials related to the q-Hermite polynomials which gives Mehler's formula for these polynomials is obtained.
