SumTools[Hypergeometric][KoepfGosper] - indefinite summation of j-fold hypergeometric terms
Calling Sequence
KoepfGosper(T, n)
Parameters
T
-
hypergeometric term in n
n
name; specifies summation index
Description
The KoepfGosper(T, n) command solves the problem of indefinite summation of j-fold hypergeometric terms, that is, for the input j-fold hypergeometric term T of n, it constructs a function which is a sum of hypergeometric terms of n such that , provided that such a exists. Otherwise, the function returns the error message ``no solution found''.
The parameter T is a j-fold hypergeometric term in n if is a rational function in n.
Examples
Note that T is not a hypergeometric term in n. Hence, Gosper's algorithm is not applicable to T.
