Abstract:

We present a general method of proving Lagrange inversion formulas and give new proofs of the $s$-variable Lagrange-Good formula [13] and the $q$-Lagrange formulas of Garsia [7], Gessel [10], Gessel and Stanton [11, 12] and the author [18]. We also give some $q$-analogues of the Lagrange formula in several variables.
