Section: sums
C-Name: sumnumrat
Prototype: GGp
Help: sumnumrat(F,a): sum from n = a to infinity of F(n), where F
 is a rational function of degree less than or equal to -2.
Doc: $\sum_{n\geq a}F(n)$, where $F$ is a rational function of degree less
 than or equal to $-2$ and where poles of $F$ at integers $\geq a$ are
 omitted from the summation. The argument $a$ must be a \typ{INT}
 or \kbd{-oo}.

 @eprog\noindent When $\deg F = -1$, we define
 $$\sum_{-\infty}^{\infty} F(n) := \sum_{n\geq 0} (F(n) + F(-1-n)):$$
