IndefiniteSum(T, n)

Parameters

T

-

function of n

n

-

variable

Description

• 

The IndefiniteSum(T,n) command computes a function G such that T⁡n=En−1·G⁡n if it exists.

• 

The classes of functions T supported are rational functions, hypergeometric terms, and those for which the minimal annihilator in K⁡nEn for T can be computed.
