Short Description

For any tuple f_1, f_2,\ldots f_r of sequences, the set of multivariate polynomials p such that p(f1(n),f2(n),\ldots,fr(n))=0 for all points n forms an ideal of the polynomial ring. The package provides a function for computing a basis for that ideal in the case where f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_r are C-finite sequences (or multi-sequences), i.e., they satisfy homogeneous linear recurrence equations with constant coefficients.
