Calling Sequence

KoepfZeilberger(T, n, k, En)

Parameters

T

-

(m, l)-fold hypergeometric term in n and k

n

-

name

k

-

name

En

-

name; denote the shift operator with respect to n

Description

• 

For a specified (m, l)-fold hypergeometric term Tn,k in n and k, the KoepfZeilberger(T, n, k, En) command constructs for Tn,k a Z-pair L,G that consists of a linear difference operator with coefficients that are polynomials of n over the complex number field

L=avnEnv+...+a1nEn+a0n

  

and a function Gn,k such that

LTn,k=Gn,k+1Gn,k.

• 

A function Tn,k is an (m, l)-fold hypergeometric term if Tn+m,kTn,k and Tn,k+lTn,k are rational functions of n and k.

• 

The output from the KoepfZeilberger command is a list of two elements L,G representing the computed Z-pair L,G.

Note that since T is not a hypergeometric term in n, Zeilberger's algorithm is not applicable to T.
