The Parma Recurrence Relation Solver News

Here is the news archive of the Parma Recurrence Relation Solver.

Oct 28, 2004 Andrea made it, at last!
Andrea Pescetti got a Laurea degree in Mathematics with full marks and honors with a dissertation on his implementation of the Zeilberger algorithm (advisers Roberto Bagnara and Alessandro Zaccagnini). The thesis defense was really good (which is kind of strange, since the rehearsal one hour before the real show was deadly boring ;-)
Congratulations, Dottor Pescetti!
Aug 18, 2003 New paper available
The Automatic Solution of Recurrence Relations. I. Linear Recurrences of Finite Order with Constant Coefficients: this is the first in a series devoted to the presentation of all the mathematics behind the PURRS project. This paper describes algorithmic techniques for the efficient solution of a wide class of linear recurrences of finite order with constant coefficients. The presentation is thorough and reasonably self-contained, covering topics such as the automatic solution of polynomial equations and efficient, exact symbolic summation of some special functions.
Jun 26, 2003 New demo hits the Web
This demonstrates new PURRS features such as support for linear recurrence relations of infinite order and ultra-sharp bounds for divide-et-impera recurrences.
May 22, 2003 PURRS seminar at UPM
The seminar Symbolic Computation Support for Complexity Analysis and the PURRS Project was given at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The slides probably constitute the most complete description of the PURRS project available to date.
Apr 29, 2003 A barbaric YOP for Tatiana! (Chi è Tatiana?!?)
Tatiana Zolo got a Laurea degree in Mathematics with a dissertation on the automatic solution of recurrence equations (advisers Roberto Bagnara, Alessandro Zaccagnini and Enea Zaffanella). The thesis defense was excellent (even though the laser pointer could have been used more effectively ;-)
Congratulations, Dottoressa Zolo!
Feb 07, 2003 Brand new demo put online
This one solves some non-linear recurrence relations of finite order and approximates many more generalized recurrences and with tighter bounds than the previous version.
Jan 21, 2003 Yet another new demo put online
This is a much improved version that also solves some generalized recurrences.
Oct 29, 2002 New demo put online
This one solves also linear recurrences of the first order with variable coefficients.
Jul 24, 2002 The PURRS project goes public
There is nothing released yet, nothing to download: only a statement of which problem we sat down to solve and Web-based demos of the first steps we made.
