In this paper, by using the residue method of complex analysis, we obtain a q-analogue for partial-fraction decomposition of the rational function x M (x + 1) n λ . As applications, we deduce the corresponding q-algebraic and q-combinatorial identities which are the q-extensions of Chu' results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, by using the residue method of complex analysis, we obtain an explicit partial fraction decomposition for the general rational function x M (x + 1) n λ (M is any nonnegative integer, λ and n are any positive integers). As applications, we deduce the corresponding algebraic identities and combinatorial identities which are the corresponding extensions of Chu' results. We also give some explicit formulas of Apostol-type polynomials and harmonic Stirling numbers of the second kind. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
