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.
This example is a linear recurrence with constant coefficients, because the coefficients of the linear function (1 and 1) are constants that do not depend on . For these recurrences, one can express the general term of the sequence as a closed-form expression of n {\displaystyle n} .
The equation is called a linear recurrence with constant coefficients of order d. The order of the sequence is the smallest positive integer d {\displaystyle d} such that the sequence satisfies a recurrence of order d , or d = 0 {\displaystyle d=0} for the everywhere-zero sequence.
F(n) = F(n − 1) + F(n − 2) together with the initial values F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1. The Skolem problem is named after Thoralf Skolem, because of his 1933 paper proving the Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem on the zeros of a sequence satisfying a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. [2]
If the {} and {} are constant and independent of the step index n, then the TTRR is a Linear recurrence with constant coefficients of order 2. Arguably the simplest, and most prominent, example for this case is the Fibonacci sequence , which has constant coefficients a n = b n = 1 {\displaystyle a_{n}=b_{n}=1} .
In mathematics a P-recursive equation is a linear equation of sequences where the coefficient sequences can be represented as polynomials.P-recursive equations are linear recurrence equations (or linear recurrence relations or linear difference equations) with polynomial coefficients.

A linear recurrence with constant coefficients is a recurrence relation of the form a n = c 0 + c 1 a n − 1 + ⋯ + c k a n − k , {\displaystyle a_{n}=c_{0}+c_{1}a_{n-1}+\dots +c_{k}a_{n-k},} where c 0 , … , c k {\displaystyle c_{0},\dots ,c_{k}} are constants .
