Abstract
Let T (n, k) be a hypergeometric term of n and k. We present in this paper an algorithm to construct the minimal telescoper for U (n, k) = ∑m=bn-1T (m, k), b ε ℤ, if it exists. We show a Maple implementation of this method and discuss the problem of finding closed forms of definite sums of U (n, k).
