| Jan 24, 2010 at 6:22 | comment | added | Quadrescence | Well, this is a particularly difficult sum since it's not hypergeometric, which is what many sums dealt with via Zeilberger's and related methods are good at. It'd be particularly hard to convert this into a holonomic recurrence with the $2^{-j}$, no? Anyway, I haven't tried $A=B$ packages specifically, but I have tried using computer algebra systems with their summation algorithms to at least evaluate it even without proof. | |
