One can find a lot of information on this problem in the book by
Doron Zeilberger called AeqB , Chapter 8 "Algorithm Hyper". The book is
available online at Zeilberger's site:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/AeqB.html
Of course this is related to Gosper's and Zeilberger's algorithms which are
implemented in maxima.
