61.1 Functions and Variables for ggf
====================================

 -- Option variable: GGFINFINITY
     Default value: 3

     This is an option variable for function 'ggf'.

     When computing the continued fraction of the generating function, a
     partial quotient having a degree (strictly) greater than
     <GGFINFINITY> will be discarded and the current convergent will be
     considered as the exact value of the generating function; most
     often the degree of all partial quotients will be 0 or 1; if you
     use a greater value, then you should give enough terms in order to
     make the computation accurate enough.

     See also 'ggf'.

 -- Option variable: GGFCFMAX
     Default value: 3

     This is an option variable for function 'ggf'.

     When computing the continued fraction of the generating function,
     if no good result has been found (see the <GGFINFINITY> flag) after
     having computed <GGFCFMAX> partial quotients, the generating
     function will be considered as not being a fraction of two
     polynomials and the function will exit.  Put freely a greater value
     for more complicated generating functions.

     See also 'ggf'.

 -- Function: ggf (<l>)
     Compute the generating function (if it is a fraction of two
     polynomials) of a sequence, its first terms being given.  <l> is a
     list of numbers.

     The solution is returned as a fraction of two polynomials.  If no
     solution has been found, it returns with 'done'.

     This function is controlled by global variables <GGFINFINITY> and
     <GGFCFMAX>.  See also <GGFINFINITY> and <GGFCFMAX>.

     To use this function write first 'load("ggf")'.
