The extended Zeilberger algorithm with parameters

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: For a hypergeometric series sumkf(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 problem concerning several similar hypergeometric terms f1(k,a,b,...,c), f2(k,a,b,...,c), ..., fm(k,a,b,...,c). We present an algorithm to derive a linear relation among the sums sumkfi(k,a,b,...,c) (1leqileqm). Furthermore, when the summand fi contains the parameter x, we can require that the coefficients be x-free. Such relations with x-free coefficients can be used to determine whether a polynomial sequence satisfies the three term recurrence and structure relations for orthogonal polynomials. The q-analogue of this approach is called the extended q-Zeilberger's algorithm, which can be employed to derive recurrence relations on the Askey-Wilson polynomials and the q-Racah polynomials.
