We present a general framework in the setting of difference ring extensions that enables one to find improved representations of indefinite nested sums such that the arising denominators within the summands have reduced degrees. The…
A complete reduction on a difference field is a linear operator that enables one to decompose an element of the field as the sum of a summable part and a remainder such that the given element is summable if and only if the remainder is…
In recent years, Z.-W. Sun proposed several sophisticated conjectures on congruences for finite sums with terms involving combinatorial sequences such as central trinomial coefficients, Domb numbers and Franel numbers. These sums are double…
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…
Combining the derivative operator with a binomial sum from the telescoping method, we establish a family of summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers.
The article addresses the problem whether indefinite double sums involving a generic sequence can be simplified in terms of indefinite single sums. Depending on the structure of the double sum, the proposed summation machinery may provide…
By telescoping method, Sun gave some hypergeometric series whose sums are related to $\pi$ recently. We investigate these series from the point of view of Gosper's algorithm. Given a hypergeometric term $t_k$, we consider the Gosper…
Multiple binomial sums form a large class of multi-indexed sequences, closed under partial summation, which contains most of the sequences obtained by multiple summation of products of binomial coefficients and also all the sequences with…
We propose investigating a summation analog of the paradigm for parallel integration. We make some first steps towards an indefinite summation method applicable to summands that rationally depend on the summation index and a P-recursive…
Symbolic summation as an active research topic of symbolic computation provides efficient algorithmic tools for evaluating and simplifying different types of sums arising from mathematics, computer science, physics and other areas. Most of…
Recently, $R\Pi\Sigma^*$-extensions have been introduced which extend Karr's $\Pi\Sigma^*$-fields substantially: one can represent expressions not only in terms of transcendental sums and products, but one can work also with products over…
Harmonic sums and their generalizations are extremely useful in the evaluation of higher-order perturbative corrections in quantum field theory. Of particular interest have been the so-called nested sums,where the harmonic sums and their…
In this paper, extending our earlier program, we derive maximal canonical extensions for multiplicative summations into algebraically closed fields. We show that there is a well-defined analogue to minimal polynomials for a series algebraic…
In a recent paper (Appl. Math. Comput. 215, 1622--1645, 2009), the authors proposed a method of summation of some slowly convergent series. The purpose of this note is to give more theoretical analysis for this transformation, including the…
A new general and unified method of summation, which is both regular and consistent, is invented. It is based on the idea concerning a way of integers reordering. The resulting theory includes a number of explicit and closed form summation…
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…
By combining the telescoping method with an algebraic relation, four classes of binomial moments are examined. Several explicit summation formulae are established.
We derive and prove an explicit formula for the sum of the fractional parts of certain geometric series. Although the proof is straightforward, we have been unable to locate any reference to this result. This summation formula allows us to…
Hermite reduction is a classical algorithmic tool in symbolic integration. It is used to decompose a given rational function as a sum of a function with simple poles and the derivative of another rational function. We extend Hermite…
