In mathematics, recurrent sequence may refer to: A sequence satisfying a recurrence relation Recurrent word , a sequence such that any factor (consecutive subsequence) that appears does so infinitely often, such as the Thue–Morse sequence or a Sturmian word
A uniformly recurrent word is a recurrent word in which for any given factor X in the sequence, there is some length n X (often much longer than the length of X) such that X appears in every block of length n X. [1] [6] [7] The terms minimal sequence [8] and almost periodic sequence (Muchnik, Semenov, Ushakov 2003) are also used.
In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the th term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms. Often, only previous terms of the sequence appear in the equation, for a parameter that is independent of ; this number is called the order of the relation.
In mathematics (including combinatorics, linear algebra, and dynamical systems), a linear recurrence with constant coefficients [1]: ch. 17 [2]: ch. 10 (also known as a linear recurrence relation or linear difference equation) sets equal to 0 a polynomial that is linear in the various iterates of a variable—that is, in the values of the elements of a sequence.
The Fibonacci sequence is constant-recursive: each element of the sequence is the sum of the previous two. Hasse diagram of some subclasses of constant-recursive sequences, ordered by inclusion In mathematics , an infinite sequence of numbers s 0 , s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , … {\displaystyle s_{0},s_{1},s_{2},s_{3},\ldots } is called constant ...
A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
Recurrence and recurrent may refer to: Disease recurrence, also called "relapse" Eternal recurrence, the concept that the universe is perpetually recurring; Historic recurrence, the repetition of similar events in history; Poincaré recurrence theorem, Henri Poincaré's theorem on dynamical systems
Recurrence relations are equations which define one or more sequences recursively. Some specific kinds of recurrence relation can be "solved" to obtain a non-recursive definition (e.g., a closed-form expression). Use of recursion in an algorithm has both advantages and disadvantages.
