Description
Summary:A procedure for generating infinite series identities makes use of the generalized method of exhaustion by analytically evaluating the inner series of the resulting double summation. Identities are generated involving both elementary and special functions. Infinite sums of special functions include those of the gamma and polygamma functions, the Hurwitz Zeta function, the polygamma function, the Gauss hypergeometric function, and the Lerch transcendent. The procedure can be automated with Mathematica (or equivalent software).
