✦ Synopsis


Many computations involving special functions, combinatorial sequences or their qanalogues can be performed using linear operators and simple arguments on the dimension of related vector spaces. In this article, we develop a theory of ∂-finite sequences and functions which provides a unified framework to express algorithms for computing sums and integrals and for the proof or discovery of multivariate identities. This approach is vindicated by an implementation.
