Symbolic summation in multivariate difference fields
The bivariate difference fields provide an algebraic framework for sequences satisfying a recurrence of order two. Based on this, we focus on sequences satisfying a recurrence of higher order with constant coefficients, and consider the multivariate difference fields, in which the summation problem of these sequences could be transformed into solving the first order difference equations. In a special class of multivariate difference fields, we present a criterion for deciding whether the difference equation has a rational solution and present an algorithm for computing one rational solution of such a difference equation, if it exists. Moreover we get the set of all rational solutions of such an equation.
