lines 9 and 8, Exercise 23.29 (iii): Replace nonconstant by nonzero. Moreover, it is not true that this representation is unique. For example, for a x and
b x2 1, both r s u v 1 x 1 1 x 1 and r s u v 1 x 1 x 1
satisfy the conditions.
line 4, Exercise 23.29 (iv): Both implications are wrong. A counterexample
for the if direction is a x 1 and b x, where in fact r s u v 1 1 1 x
is the unique respresentation as in (iii), but there do not exist polynomials c d
such that c d a b 1 1 x, by Lemma 23.5. A counterexample for the
only if part is a 2x 1 and b 1, where r s u v 2x 1 1 1 1 is the
unique representation as in (iii), and for c x2 and d 1 we have c d
a b.
However, the following is true: there exist nonzero coprime monic polynomials
c d F x such that E c d a b if and only if r s 1 for all representations as in (iii), and in fact r s u v 1 1 d c is the unique respresentation in this case (see S. A. A BRAMOV and M. P ETKOVEK (2001), Canonical
Representations of Hypergeometric Terms, Formal Power Series and Algebraic
Combinatorics (FPSAC01), to appear.)
