چکیده
In a well forgotten memoir of 1890, Andrei Markov devised a convergence acceleration technique based on a series transformation which is very similar to what is now known as the WilfZeilberger (WZ) method. We review Markov’s work, put it in the context of modern computeraided WZ machinery, and speculate about possible reasons of the memoir being shelved for so long.

متن کامل2 00 9 About the WZ - pairs which prove Ramanujan series
Observing those WZ-demostrable generalizations of the Ramanujan-type series that were already known, we get the insight to make some assumptions concerning the rational parts of those WZ-pairs that prove them. Based on those assumptions, we develop a new strategy in order to prove Ramanujantype series for 1/π. Using it, we find more WZ-demonstrable generalizations, and so new WZ-proofs, for the...
متن کاملSimultaneous Generation for Zeta Values by the Markov-WZ Method
By application of the Markov-WZ method, we prove a more general form of a bivariate generating function identity containing, as particular cases, Koecher’s and Almkvist-Granville’s Apéry-like formulae for odd zeta values. As a consequence, we get a new identity producing Apéry-like series for all ζ(2n+ 4m+ 3), n,m ≥ 0, convergent at the geometric rate with ratio 2−10.
متن کاملThe Markov-WZ Method
Andrei Markov’s 1890 method for convergence-acceleration of series bears an amazing resemblance to WZ theory, as was recently pointed out by M. Kondratieva and S. Sadov. But Markov did not have Gosper and Zeilberger’s algorithms, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have had a computer to run them on. Nevertheless, his beautiful ad-hoc method, when coupled with WZ theory and Gosper’s algorithm, lead...
