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.
A famous example is the recurrence for the Fibonacci numbers, = + where the order is two and the linear function merely adds the two previous terms. 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 n . {\displaystyle n.}
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] This theorem states that, if such a sequence has zeros, then with finitely many exceptions the positions of the zeros repeat regularly.
Adding a non-linear output mixing function (as in the xoshiro256** and permuted congruential generator constructions) can greatly improve the performance on statistical tests. Another structure for a PRNG is a very simple recurrence function combined with a powerful output mixing function.
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.
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} .
is constant-recursive because it satisfies the linear recurrence = +: each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two. [2] Other examples include the power of two sequence 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , 16 , … {\displaystyle 1,2,4,8,16,\ldots } , where each number is the sum of twice the previous number, and the square number sequence 0 , 1 , 4 ...
the linear mapping : makes a cyclic []-module, having a basis of the form {,, …,}; or equivalently [] / (()) as []-modules. If the above hold, one says that A is non-derogatory . Not every square matrix is similar to a companion matrix, but every square matrix is similar to a block diagonal matrix made of companion matrices.
