Erich,
The culprit seem to be the symbol a; the following works
In[54]:=
findrecur[f_,ii_,jj_]:=
Block[{a},
Module[{yy,zz,ll,tt,uu,r,s,i,j},
yy=Sum[Sum[a[i,j]*FullSimplify[f[n-j,k-i]/f[n,k]],{i,0,ii}],{j,0,jj}];
zz=Collect[Numerator[Together[yy]],k];
ll=CoefficientList[zz,k];
tt=Flatten[Table[a[i,j],{i,0,ii},{j,0,jj}]];
uu=Flatten[Simplify[Solve[ll\[Equal]0,tt]]];
For[r=0,r\[LessEqual]ii,r++,
For[s=0,s\[LessEqual]jj,s++,a[r,s]=Replace[a[r,s],uu]]];
Sum[Sum[a[i,j] F[n-j,k-i],{i,0,ii}],{j,0,jj}]\[Equal]0]
]
In[55]:=
f[n_,k_]:=n!/(n-k)!
In[56]:=
findrecur[f,1,1]
Solve::svars:Equations may not give solutions for all "solve" variables.
Out[56]=
a[1, 1]*F[-1 + n, -1 + k] - (a[1, 1]*F[n, k])/n == 0
In[57]:=
findrecur[f,1,1]
Solve::svars: Equations may not give solutions for all "solve" variables.
Out[57]=
a[1, 1]*F[-1 + n, -1 + k] - (a[1, 1]*F[n, k])/n == 0
