Abstract

This paper deals with an extension of the Schützenberger's methodology in which algebraic grammars are used in order to enumerate combinatorial objects. The extension allows us to make computation with q-series. We present here some results and a computer algebra system QGRAM for the resolution of such equations.

With the support of the PRC Mathématiques et Informatique.
