چکیده

This paper discusses and evaluates the standard procedures available in Maple 4.3 for handling hypergeometric series. Some suggestions for improvement are given. The paper concludes with a survey of the algorithms of Gosper and of Zeilberger for possibly evaluating a terminating series of hypergeometric type. This paper appeared in Orthogonal polynomials and their applications, C. Brezinski, L. Gori and A. Ronveaux (eds.), IMACS Annals on Computing and Applied Mathematics 9, Baltzer, 1991, pp. 73–80. The text of the present version (October 19, 2006) is unchanged except that references have been updated.

An algorithmic approach to exact power series solutions of second order linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients

In 1992, Koepf [J. Symb. Comp. 13 (1992) 581] introduced an algorithm for computing a Formal Power Series of a given function using generalized hypergeometric series and a recurrence equation of hypergeometric type. The main aim of this paper is to develop a new algorithm for computing exact power series solutions of second order linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients, near ...

Algorithmic determination of q-power series for q-holonomic functions

In [Koepf (1992)] it was shown how for a given holonomic function a representation as a formal power series of hypergeometric type can be determined algorithmically. This algorithm – that we call FPS algorithm (Formal Power Series) – combines three steps to obtain the desired representation. The authors implemented this algorithm in the computer algebra system Maple as c̀onvert/FormalPowerSeries...

On Zeilberger’s algorithm and its q-analogue: a rigorous description

Gosper’s and Zeilberger’s algorithms for summation of terminating hypergeometric series as well as the q-versions of these algorithms are described in a very rigorous way. The paper is a companion to Maple V procedures implementing these algorithms. It concludes with the help information for these procedures.

Finding Identities with the WZ Method

Extending the work of Wilf and Zeilberger on WZ-pairs, we describe how new terminating hypergeometric series identities can be derived by duality from known identities. A large number of such identities are obtained by a Maple program that applies this method systematically.

Asymptotic Approximations to Truncation Errors of Series Representations for Special Functions

∞ ν=0 aν for special functions are constructed by solving a system of linear equations. The linear equations follow from an approximative solution of the inhomogeneous difference equation ∆rn = an+1. In the case of the remainder of the Dirichlet series for the Riemann zeta function, the linear equations can be solved in closed form, reproducing the corresponding Euler-Maclaurin formula. In the ...
