AccurateSummation(T, n)

Parameters

T

-

function of n

n

-

name; specifies summation index

Description

• 

The AccurateSummation(T, n) command solves the problem of indefinite summation using accurate summation.

• 

The output from AccurateSummation is a function G such that Tn=Gn+1Gn if the algorithm succeeds in constructing one. Otherwise, it returns FAIL.
