A Symbolic Summation Approach to Find Optimal Nested Sum Representations
Abstract
Description
We consider the following problem: Given a nested sum expression, find a sum representation such that the nested depth is minimal. We obtain a symbolic summation framework that solves this problem for sums defined, e.g., over hypergeometric, $q$-hypergeometric or mixed hypergeometric expressions. Recently, our methods have found applications in quantum field theory.
