HYP and HYPQ

The Mathematica package HYP

HYP is a package, written in Mathematica, for the manipulation and identification of binomial and hypergeometric series and identities.

This package provides tools for

(For item (H) you need Peter Paule and Markus Schorn's Mathematica implementation of the Gosper and Zeilberger algorithms which are available directly via the WEB or via e-mail request to peter.paule@risc.uni-linz.ac.at. You will also want to get Marko Petkovsek's (Marko.Petkovsek@mat.uni-lj.si) Mathematica program Hyper which finds all "hypergeometric term" solutions of a linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients.)

The package comes with complete documentation, a tutorial, and an installation guide. They should work with any version of Mathematica, except that Gosper's and Zeilberger's algorithms require Version 2.0 at least.

Temporary Warning and Apology: This is sort of a "beta version". I had to put this here immediately because there is a strange bug (concerning protection/unprotection) in Mathematica 3.0 which caused the old (tested) version not to work any more. Read the file read.chg for the differences between the beta version and the old version. Unfortunately, at this point, the manual and the the package do not complement each other completely.

If you want to be informed about updates of these packages, have comments, suggestions, problems,... send an e-mail to:

There is also a ``q-analogue", the package HYPQ which allows you to manipulate and identify basic hypergeometric series.

The Mathematica package HYPQ

HYPQ is a package, written in Mathematica, for the manipulation and identification of q-binomial and basic hypergeometric series and identities.

This package provides tools for

(For item (H) you need Peter Paule and Axel Riese's Mathematica implementation of the q-Gosper and q-Zeilberger algorithms which are (soon) available directly via the WEB or via e-mail request to peter.paule@risc.uni-linz.ac.at. You will also want to get Marko Petkovsek's (Marko.Petkovsek@mat.uni-lj.si) Mathematica program q-Hyper which finds all "q-hypergeometric term" solutions of a q-difference equation with rational coefficients.)

The package comes with complete documentation, a tutorial, and an installation guide. They should work with any version of Mathematica, except that the q-Gosper and q-Zeilberger algorithms require Version 2.0 at least.

There is also the package HYP which allows you to manipulate and identify ordinary hypergeometric series.
