Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be [Formula: see text]-complexes with [Formula: see text] an integer such that [Formula: see text] has finite Gorenstein projective dimension and [Formula: see text] has finite Gorenstein injective dimension. We define the [Formula: see text]th Gorenstein cohomology groups [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] via a strict Gorenstein precover [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and a strict Gorenstein preenvelope [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. Using Gaussian binomial coefficients we show that there exists an isomorphism [Formula: see text] which extends the balance result of Liu [Relative cohomology of complexes. J. Algebra 502 (2018) 79–97] to the [Formula: see text]-complex case.
