Abstract: This Maple package implements Allan Berele's constant-term expressions for certain Poincaré series called Cbar(n,k), described in his paper

Denominators for One Variable Poincaré series of generic matrices .

Added Aug. 3, 2024: The paper appeared in J. Algebra 618 (2023) , 195-213.

It arose in the theory of Polynomial Identity Rings and Invariant Theory, that thanks to Wilf-Zeilberger algorithmic proof theory can be used to derive linear recurrences for n=2 and n=3. This enables very fast computations of these series for many values of k. Alas, while the analogous recurrences exist for n=4 and above, finding them is currently beyond our meager computational powers.

Note: There is no accompanying article. Everything is contained in the Maple package and the output files.
