چکیده

Using a certification procedure for Abel-type sums, we present a computerized proof of Abel’s identity. Abel’s identity [1],[2] can be proved in many ways, including the elegant combinatorial methods of [3]. Here we present the first computer-generated proof using the methods introduced in [4]. Theorem([1]; [2], p.128). For n ≥ 0:

A Multiple Integral Explicit Evaluation Inspired by The Multi-WZ Method

We give an identity which is conjectured and proved by using an implementation [3] in multi-WZ [5]. 0. Introduction There are relatively few known non-trivial evaluations of n-dimensional integrals, with arbitrary n. Celebrated examples are the Selberg and the Metha-Dyson integrals, as well as the Macdonald constant term ex-conjectures for the various infinite families of root systems. They are...

Another Proof of an Extension of a Curious Identity

. (1) In 2002 Z. W. Sun [7] proved the case when z = 1 using double recursion. Later four alternative proofs have been provided for the special case. A generating function proof was given by A. Panholzer and H. Prodinger [6]; D. Merlini and R. Sprugnoli [5] established it through Riordan arrays; S. B. Ekhad and M. Mohammed [4] proved it based on a WZ method. Later, W. Chu and L. V. D.

Mahler Measure and the Wz Algorithm

We use the Wilf-Zeilberger method to prove identities between Mahler measures of polynomials. In particular, we offer a new proof of a formula due to Laĺın, and we show how to translate the identity into a formula involving elliptic dilogarithms. This work settles a challenge problem proposed by Kontsevich and Zagier in their paper “Periods” [14].
