  2. Recurrence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation

    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.

  3. Stirling numbers of the first kind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_numbers_of_the...

    We prove the recurrence relation using the definition of Stirling numbers in terms of permutations with a given number of cycles (or equivalently, orbits). Consider forming a permutation of + objects from a permutation of objects by adding a distinguished object. There are exactly two ways in which this can be accomplished.

  4. Linear recurrence with constant coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_recurrence_with...

    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.

  5. Partition function (number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function_(number...

    No closed-form expression for the partition function is known, but it has both asymptotic expansions that accurately approximate it and recurrence relations by which it can be calculated exactly. It grows as an exponential function of the square root of its argument.

  6. Constant-recursive sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-recursive_sequence

    This characterization is because the order-linear recurrence relation can be understood as a proof of linear dependence between the sequences (+) = for =, …,. An extension of this argument shows that the order of the sequence is equal to the dimension of the sequence space generated by ( s n + r ) n = 0 ∞ {\displaystyle (s_{n+r})_{n=0 ...

  7. Stirling numbers of the second kind - Wikipedia

    Equivalently, they count the number of different equivalence relations with precisely equivalence classes that can be defined on an element set. In fact, there is a bijection between the set of partitions and the set of equivalence relations on a given set. Obviously,

  8. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    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. The main advantage is usually the simplicity of instructions.
