name; specifies summation index
The AccurateSummation(T, n) command solves the problem of indefinite summation using accurate summation.
The output from AccurateSummation is a function G such that T⁡n=G⁡n+1−G⁡n if the algorithm succeeds in constructing one. Otherwise, it returns FAIL.

Note that since T is not a hypergeometric term of n, Gosper's algorithm fails to compute an anti-difference:
