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 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.
The first Hofstadter sequences were described by Douglas Richard Hofstadter in his book Gödel, Escher, Bach.In order of their presentation in chapter III on figures and background (Figure-Figure sequence) and chapter V on recursive structures and processes (remaining sequences), these sequences are:
The order of the sequence is the smallest positive integer such that the sequence satisfies a recurrence of order d, or = for the everywhere-zero sequence. [ citation needed ] The definition above allows eventually- periodic sequences such as 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 , … {\displaystyle 1,0,0,0,\ldots } and 0 , 1 , 0 , 0 , … {\displaystyle 0,1,0,0 ...
In mathematics, the Lucas sequences (,) and (,) are certain constant-recursive integer sequences that satisfy the recurrence relation = where and are fixed integers.Any sequence satisfying this recurrence relation can be represented as a linear combination of the Lucas sequences (,) and (,).
A Honduras gang member who was illegally in the US “giggled” as he admitted kidnapping a young Texas woman at gunpoint and threatening to pimp her out and sell her organs, according to cops.
A sequence () is called hypergeometric if the ratio of two consecutive terms is a rational function in , i.e. (+) / (). This is the case if and only if the sequence is the solution of a first-order recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients.
