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…
The Apagodu-Zeilberger algorithm can be used for computing annihilating operators for definite sums over hypergeometric terms, or for definite integrals over hyperexponential functions. In this paper, we propose a generalization of this…
For a hypergeometric series $\sum_k f(k,a, b, ...,c)$ with parameters $a, b, >...,c$, Paule has found a variation of Zeilberger's algorithm to establish recurrence relations involving shifts on the parameters. We consider a more general…
Let $F(n,k)$ be a hypergeometric function that may be expressed so that $n$ appears within initial arguments of inverted Pochhammer symbols, as in factors of the form $\frac{1}{(n)_{k}}$. Only in exceptional cases is $F(n, k)$ such that…
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…
We extend the (continuous) multivariate Almkvist-Zeilberger algorithm in order to apply it for instance to special Feynman integrals emerging in renormalizable Quantum field Theories. We will consider multidimensional integrals over…
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…
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…
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…
Based on a reduction processing, we rewrite a hypergeometric term as the sum of the difference of a hypergeometric term and a reduced hypergeometric term (the reduced part, in short). We show that when the initial hypergeometric term has a…
With the exception of q-hypergeometric summation, the use of computer algebra packages implementing Zeilberger's "holonomic systems approach" in a broader mathematical sense is less common in the field of q-series and basic hypergeometric…
Chu and Zhang, in 2014, introduced hypergeometric transforms derived through the application of an Abel-type summation lemma to Dougall's ${}_{5}H_{5}$-series. These transforms were applied by Chu and Zhang to obtain accelerated rates of…
The Abramov-Petkovsek reduction computes an additive decomposition of a hypergeometric term, which extends the functionality of the Gosper algorithm for indefinite hypergeometric summation. We modify the Abramov-Petkovsek reduction so as to…
We present a sequent calculus for abstract focussing, equipped with proof-terms: in the tradition of Zeilberger's work, logical connectives and their introduction rules are left as a parameter of the system, which collapses the synchronous…
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…
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 well-known Kummer's formula evaluates the hypergeometric series 2F1(A,B;C;-1) when the relation B-A+C=1 holds. This paper deals with evaluation of 2F1(-1) series in the case when C-A+B is an integer. Such a series is expressed as a sum…
In the last decade major steps towards an algorithmic treatment of orthogonal polynomials and special functions (OP & SF) have been made, notably Zeilberger's brilliant extension of Gosper's algorithm on algorithmic definite hypergeometric…
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…
Each of Ramanujan's series for $\frac{1}{\pi}$ is of the form $$ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^n \frac{ (a_{1})_{n} (a_{2})_{n} (a_{3})_{n} }{ (b_{1})_{n} (b_{2})_{n} (b_{3})_{n} } (c_{1} n + c_2) $$ for rational parameters such that the difference…
