Another proof of Gustafson's \(C_n\)-type summation formula via `elementary' symmetric polynomials
Summary: We introduce new symmetric polynomials which induce a \(q\)-difference equation associated with a basic hypergeometric sum of type \(C_n\) investigated by Gustafson. Using them we give another proof for Gustafson's \(C_n\)-type summation formula.
