A bijective proof of a $q$-analogue of the sum of cubes using overpartitions

Jacob Forster, Kristina Garrett, Luke Jacobsen and Adam Wood

Vol. 10 (2017), No. 3, 523–530
Abstract

We present a q-analogue of the sum of cubes, give an interpretation in terms of overpartitions, and provide a combinatorial proof. In addition, we note a connection between a generating function for overpartitions and the q-Delannoy numbers.

Keywords
