This article describes the REDUCE package ZEILBERG implemented by Gregor St\"olting and the author. The REDUCE package ZEILBERG is a careful implementation of the Gosper and Zeilberger algorithms for indefinite, and definite summation of…
We discuss algorithms for arithmetic properties of hypergeometric functions. Most notably, we are able to compute the p-adic valuation of a hypergeometric function on any disk of radius smaller than the p-adic radius of convergence. This we…
The considered problem is uniform convergence of sequences of hypergeometric series. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for uniformly dominated convergence of infinite sums of proper bivariate hypergeometric terms. These conditions…
This paper argues that automated proofs of identities for non-terminating hypergeometric series are feasible by a combination of Zeilberger's algorithm and asymptotic estimates. For two analogues of Saalsch\"utz' summation formula in the…
We calculate some finite and infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. For this purpose, we differentiate selected reduction formulas of the hypergeometric function with respect to the parameters applying some derivative…
The applicability or terminating condition for the ordinary case of Zeilberger's algorithm was recently obtained by Abramov. For the $q$-analogue, the question of whether a bivariate $q$-hypergeometric term has a $qZ$-pair remains open. Le…
We present a systematic method for proving nonterminating basic hypergeometric identities. Assume that $k$ is the summation index. By setting a parameter $x$ to $xq^n$, we may find a recurrence relation of the summation by using the…
The umbral restyling of hypergeometric functions is shown to be a useful and efficient approach in simplifying the associated computational technicalities. In this article, the authors provide a general introduction to the umbral version of…
The celebrated Zeilberger algorithm which finds holonomic recurrence equations for definite sums of hypergeometric terms $F(n,k)$ is extended to certain nonhypergeometric terms. An expression $F(n,k)$ is called a hypergeometric term if both…
A general notion of a quasi-finite algebra is introduced as an algebra graded by the set of all integers equipped with topologies on the homogeneous subspaces satisfying certain properties. An analogue of the regular bimodule is introduced…
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…
We use both Abel's lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger's algorithm to find recurrence relations for definite summations. The role of Abel's lemma can be extended to the case of linear difference operators with polynomial…
In this paper, we give an overview of the various general methods in computing the zeta function of an algebraic variety defined over a finite field, with an emphasis on computing the reduction modulo $p^m$ of the zeta function of a…
The polynomial method has been used recently to obtain many striking results in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we use affine Hilbert functions to obtain an estimation theorem in finite field geometry. The most natural way to state…
It is well known that the composition of a D-finite function with an algebraic function is again D-finite. We give the first estimates for the orders and the degrees of annihilating operators for the compositions. We find that the analysis…
We report on implementations for algorithms treating algebraic and arithmetic properties of hypergeometric functions in the computer algebra system SageMath. We treat hypergeometric series over the rational numbers, over finite fields, and…
We design algorithms for computing values of many p-adic elementary and special functions, including logarithms, exponentials, polylogarithms, and hypergeometric functions. All our algorithms feature a quasi-linear complexity with respect…
We present an efficient implementation of hypergeometric functions in arbitrary-precision interval arithmetic. The functions ${}_0F_1$, ${}_1F_1$, ${}_2F_1$ and ${}_2F_0$ (or the Kummer $U$-function) are supported for unrestricted complex…
In this paper, we introduce a new class of confluent hypergeometric functions of many variables, study their properties, and determine a system of partial differential equations that this function satisfies. It turns out that all the…
A new algorithm for one-dimensional minimization is described in detail and the results of some tests on practical cases are reported and illustrated. The method requires only punctual computation of the function, and is suitable to be…
