A Refined Difference Field Theory for Symbolic Summation

چکیده
In this article we present a refined summation theory based on Karr’s difference field approach. The resulting algorithms find sum representations with optimal nested depth. For instance, the algorithms have been applied successively to evaluate Feynman integrals from Perturbative Quantum Field Theory.

A difference ring theory for symbolic summation☆
A summation framework is developed that enhances Karr's difference field approach. It covers not only indefinite nested sums and products in terms of transcendental extensions, but it can treat, e.g., nested products defined over roots of unity. The theory of the so-called [Formula: see text]-extensions is supplemented by algorithms that support the construction of such difference rings automat...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for Refined Parameterized Telescoping in Difference Fields
Parameterized telescoping (including telescoping and creative telescoping) and refined versions of it play a central role in the research area of symbolic summation. In 1981 Karr introduced ΠΣ -fields, a general class of difference fields, that enables one to consider this problem for indefinite nested sums and products covering as special cases, e.g., the (q–)hypergeometric case and their mixe...
متن کاملA Symbolic Summation Approach to Find Optimal Nested Sum Representations
We consider the following problem: Given a nested sum expression, find a sum representation such that the nested depth is minimal. We obtain a symbolic summation framework that solves this problem for sums defined, e.g., over hypergeometric, q-hypergeometric or mixed hypergeometric expressions. Recently, our methods have found applications in quantum field theory.
متن کاملModern Summation Methods for Loop Integrals in Quantum Field Theory: The Packages Sigma, EvaluateMultiSums and SumProduction
Abstract. A large class of Feynman integrals, like e.g., two-point parameter integrals with at most one mass and containing local operator insertions, can be transformed to multi-sums over hypergeometric expressions. In this survey article we present a difference field approach for symbolic summation that enables one to simplify such definite nested sums to indefinite nested sums. In particular...
متن کاملThermal Vibration of Composites and Sandwich Laminates Using Refined Higher Order Zigzag Theory
Vibration of laminated composite and sandwich plate under thermal loading is studied in this paper. A refined higher order theory has been used for the purpose. In order to avoid stress oscillations observed in the implementation of a displacement based finite element, the stress field derived from temperature (initial strains) have been made consistent with total strain field. So far no study ...
