 QSimplify
 simplification of expressions involving q-hypergeometric terms

 Calling Sequence QSimpComb(f) QSimplify(f)

Parameters

 f - algebraic expression

Description

 • The commands QSimpComb and QSimplify are for simplification of expressions involving q-hypergeometric terms. For a function $f\left({q}^{k}\right)$, the main use of QSimpComb is for detecting if $f\left({q}^{k}\right)$ is a q-hypergeometric term in ${q}^{k}$. That is, if $\frac{f\left({q}^{k+1}\right)}{f\left({q}^{k}\right)}$ is a rational function in ${q}^{k}$ (see IsQHypergeometricTerm). If the result is not a rational function, QSimplify returns in general a more compact answer.
 • This implementation is mainly based on the implementation by H. Boeing, W. Koepf. See the Reference Section.

Apply QSimpComb to the consecutive ratio $\frac{H\left(n+1\right)}{H\left(n\right)}$. If the result is a rational function in ${q}^{n}$, then H is a q-hypergeometric term.
