Parameters

T

-

hypergeometric term of

n

-

variable

r

-

(optional) name

Description

• 

The Gosper(T,n,r) command solves the problem of indefinite hypergeometric summation, that is, for the given hypergeometric term  of , it constructs another hypergeometric term  of  such that , provided that such a term exists. Otherwise, the function returns the error message "no solution found".

• 

If the third optional argument  is specified, it is assigned the rational function  such that  if  was computed successfully, and FAIL otherwise.
