Thanks for pointing it out. If you can file a bug report in the Maxima bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/bugs or something like that) or post a message to the mailing list, that would be helpful. It turns out that nusum (the Gosper algorithm written by Gosper himself iirc) can solve this problem, but I guess nusum is not consulted by simplify_sum before the latter gives up. I didn't look into it carefully. best Robert Dodier --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
