We consider inhomogeneous lattice walk models in a half-space and in the quarter plane. For the models in a half-space, we show by a generalization of the kernel method to linear systems of functional equations that their generating functions are always algebraic. For the models in the quarter plane, we have carried out an experimental classification of all models with small steps. We discovered many (apparently) D-finite cases for most of which we have no explanation yet.
We present an algorithm which for any given ideal I ⊆ K[x, y] finds all elements of I that have the form f (x) − g(y), i.e., all elements in which no monomial is a multiple of xy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
