On the summability of bivariate rational functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present criteria for deciding whether a bivariate rational function in two variables can be written as a sum of two (q-)differences of bivariate rational functions. Using these criteria, we show how certain double sums can be evaluated, first, in terms of single sums and, finally, in terms of values of special functions.


It is given a criteria for deciding whether a bivariate rational function in two variables can be written as a sum of two (\(q\)-)differences of bivariate rational functions. As a consequence, a method for evaluation of certain double sums is presented in terms of single sums and in terms of values of special functions. The method of residues is used to give a unified approach to problems in the shift and \(q\)-shift cases while also identifying where these cases differ.
