Let K be a field of characteristic zero, x an independent variable, E the shift operator with respect to x, i.e., Ef ( x ) = f ( x + 1) for an arbitrary f ( x ). Recall that a nonzero expression F ( x ) is called a hypergeometric term over K if there exists a rational function r ( x ) ∈ K( x ) such that F ( x + 1)/ F ( x ) = r ( x ). Usually r ( x ) is called the rational certificate of F ( x ). The problem of indefinite hypergeometric summation (anti-differencing) is: given a hypergeometric term F ( x ), find a hypergeometric term G ( x ) which satisfies the first order linear difference equation ( E − 1) G ( x ) = F ( x ). (1) If found, write Σ x F ( x ) = G ( x ) + c , where c is an arbitrary constant.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
