A \(q\)-analogue for bi\(^{s}\)nomial coefficients and generalized Fibonacci sequences (Q2445179)

Completing other works also from the first author ([\textit{H. Belbachir}, Probab. Eng. Inf. Sci. 25, No. 4, 469--475 (2011; Zbl 1241.60007)], [\textit{H. Belbachir} and \textit{F. Bencherif}, Integers 6, A12, 17 p. (2006; Zbl 1122.11008)], [\textit{H. Belbachir} et al., Ann. Math. Inform. 35, 21--30 (2008; Zbl 1199.11047)]) and recovering the \(q\)-Fibonacci polynomials supplied by \textit{J. Cigler} [Electron. J. Comb. 10, No. 1, Research paper R19, 15 p. (2003; Zbl 1027.05006)], this paper presents a new \(q\)-analogue of those bi\(^{s}\)nomial coefficients studied, e.g., by \textit{R. C. Bollinger} [Fibonacci Q. 24, 140--144 (1986; Zbl 0598.05011)] and by \textit{C. Smith} and \textit{V. E. Hoggatt jun.} [Fibonacci Q. 17, 58--67 (1979; Zbl 0406.05005)]. The authors remark the difference between their approach and the definition for the \(q\)-analogue of \textit{G. E. Andrews} and \textit{R. J. Baxter} [J. Stat. Phys. 47, No. 3--4, 297--330 (1987; Zbl 0638.10009)].
