Q-ANALOGUES / THREE GROUPS
Evaluate a three-group Gaussian multinomial coefficient for nonnegative group sizes and positive integer q.
METHOD / WORKED EXAMPLE
Evaluate a three-group Gaussian multinomial coefficient for nonnegative group sizes and positive integer q. The result panel keeps the defining recurrence or counting identity visible so the output can be checked independently.
WORKED DEFAULT
For group sizes 1, 2, 1 and q = 2, [4 choose 1]_2 times [3 choose 2]_2 equals 15 x 7 = 105.
READ THE RESULT
The ordered group dimensions and q weighting distinguish this from an ordinary multinomial count.
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITS
The finite-field interpretation requires prime-power q, while integer polynomial evaluation remains defined more broadly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Factor the three-group q-multinomial into two exact Gaussian binomial coefficients and multiply their integer values. The indexing, equivalence relation, and counted objects are stated in the method and worked example. Inputs must be whole numbers inside the displayed domain; the page never rounds a decimal into an accepted index. This ties the answer to one explicit convention instead of silently mixing sequence offsets or combinatorial interpretations.
The ordered group dimensions and q weighting distinguish this from an ordinary multinomial count. Small boundary cases and the displayed recurrence or identity provide useful independent checks. Recompute the displayed recurrence or closed form with the same inputs and compare its previous terms or counting factors. That check supports this bounded result, but it does not transfer the interpretation to a different sequence or counting object.
The finite-field interpretation requires prime-power q, while integer polynomial evaluation remains defined more broadly. The implementation uses integer arithmetic internally and refuses results beyond the safe display boundary. Combinatorial and recurrence values can grow rapidly even when the inputs look small. The conservative cap prevents browser stalls and avoids presenting an unsafe floating-point integer as exact; larger work needs arbitrary-precision software and independent resource controls.
