Abstract: 
Hypergeometric sequences are rational-valued sequences that satisfy first-order linear recurrence relations with polynomial coefficients; that is, a hypergeometric sequence is one that satisfies a recurrence of the form f(n)un = g(n)un − 1 where . In this paper, we consider the Membership Problem for hypergeometric sequences: given a hypergeometric sequence and a target value , determine whether un = t for some index n. We establish decidability of the Membership Problem under the assumption that either (i) f and g have distinct splitting fields or (ii) f and g are monic polynomials that both split over a quadratic extension of . Our results are based on an analysis of the prime divisors of polynomial sequences and appearing in the recurrence relation.
