Software for proving sum identites

149 Views Asked by At

Summations can really get complicated - esp. when you have convoluted n-fold summations with all kinds of different indices.

My question: Is there some software (or add-on) with which you can find and prove (complicated) summation identities?

Fabrizio Caruso implemented "Gosper's and Zeilberger's algorithm for proving and finding indefinite and definite hypergeometric summation identities", as a free and open source package for use with Maxima. You can get it here.
