TL;DR: In this paper, the reciprocity theorem for q-gamma functions involving two and more variables was proved and generalized to several variables by Berndt and Koukoulopoulos (Proc Am Math Soc 601:2369-2373, 2007).
Abstract: In one of his notebooks, Ramanujan stated but did not prove an identity for a ratio of gamma functions involving two separate variables. Such an identity was referred to as a reciprocity theorem due to the symmetry relations between the variables. The two variable result was later proved and generalized to several variables by Berndt and Koukoulopoulos (Proc Am Math Soc 601:2369–2373, 2007). In this paper, we state and prove similar reciprocity theorems for ratios of q-gamma functions involving two and more variables.

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate a certain type of q-difference Riccati equation in the complex plane. We prove that q-difference Riccati equation possesses a one parameter family of meromorphic solutions if it has three distinct meromorphic solutions. Furthermore, we find that all meromorphic solutions of q-difference Riccati equation and corresponding second order linear q-difference equation can be expressed by q-gamma function if this q-difference Riccati equation admits two distinct rational solutions and q ∈ C such that 0 < |q| < 1. The growth and value distribution of differences of meromorphic solutions of q-difference Riccati equation are also treated.
