In this paper, we will explain how separability problems arise naturally in creative telescoping and present some criteria for testing the separability for several classes of special functions,including rational functions, hyperexponential functions, hypergeometric terms, and algebraic functions.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2021 on International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation}, pages = {83¨C90}, numpages = {8}, keywords = {zeilberger's algorithm, separable functions, creative telescoping, separation of variables}, location = {Virtual Event, Russian Federation}, series = {ISSAC '21} }
