Creative telescoping is an algorithmic method initiated by Zeilberger to compute definite sums by synthesizing summands that telescope, called certificates. We describe a creative telescoping algorithm that computes telescopers for definite…
We extend Zeilberger's approach to special function identities to cases that are not holonomic. The method of creative telescoping is thus applied to definite sums or integrals involving Stirling or Bernoulli numbers, incomplete Gamma…
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…
Creative telescoping is the method of choice for obtaining information about definite sums or integrals. It has been intensively studied since the early 1990s, and can now be considered as a classical technique in computer algebra. At the…
Continuing a series of articles in the past few years on creative telescoping using reductions, we develop a new algorithm to construct minimal telescopers for algebraic functions. This algorithm is based on Trager's Hermite reduction and…
We present an algebraic framework to represent indefinite nested sums over hypergeometric expressions in difference rings. In order to accomplish this task, parts of Karr's difference field theory have been extended to a ring theory in…
We present efficient methods for calculating linear recurrences of hypergeometric double sums and, more generally, of multiple sums. In particular, we supplement this approach with the algorithmic theory of contiguous relations, which…
Creative telescoping algorithms compute linear differential equations satisfied by multiple integrals with parameters. We describe a precise and elementary algorithmic version of the Griffiths-Dwork method for the creative telescoping of…
In this paper, we solve the existence problem of telescopers for rational functions in three discrete variables. We reduce the problem to that of deciding the summability of bivariate rational functions, which has been solved recently. The…
The long-term goal initiated in this work is to obtain fast algorithms and implementations for definite integration in Almkvist and Zeilberger's framework of (differential) creative telescoping. Our complexity-driven approach is to obtain…
The ubiquity of the class of D-finite functions and P-recursive sequences in symbolic computation is widely recognized. In this thesis, the presented work consists of two parts related to this class. In the first part, we generalize the…
Parameterized telescoping (including telescoping and creative telescoping) and refined versions of it play a central role in the research area of symbolic summation. Karr introduced 1981 $\Pi\Sigma$-fields, a general class of difference…
Telescopers for a function are linear differential (resp. difference) operators annihilated by the definite integral (resp. definite sum) of this function. They play a key role in Wilf-Zeilberger theory and algorithms for computing them…
We propose a way to split a given bivariate P-recursive sequence into a summable part and a non-summable part in such a way that the non-summable part is minimal in some sense. This decomposition gives rise to a new reduction-based creative…
This paper is a plea for diagonals and telescopers of rational, or algebraic, functions using creative telescoping, in a computer algebra experimental mathematics learn-by-examples approach. We show that diagonals of rational functions (and…
Based on a modified version of Abramov-Petkov\v{s}ek reduction, a new algorithm to compute minimal telescopers for bivariate hypergeometric terms was developed last year. We investigate further in this paper and present a new argument for…
We present a criterion for the existence of telescopers for mixed hypergeometric terms, which is based on multiplicative and additive decompositions. The criterion enables us to determine the termination of Zeilberger's algorithms for mixed…
We analyze the differential equations produced by the method of creative telescoping applied to a hyperexponential term in two variables. We show that equations of low order have high degree, and that higher order equations have lower…
This paper focuses on symbolic integration of differential forms, with a particular emphasis on historical and modern developments, from Abel's addition theorems for Abelian integrals to Zeilberger's creative telescoping for parameterized…
Elaborating on an approach recently proposed by Mark van Hoeij, we continue to investigate why creative telescoping occasionally fails to find the minimal-order annihilating operator of a given definite sum or integral. We offer an…
