What is a recurrence equation?
Think about how one term depends on another.
Define initial conditions.
These are often the first few terms known in the sequence.
What is an example of a straightforward recurrence equation?
Think about famous sequences in mathematics.
True or False: The Fibonacci sequence is an example of a non-homogeneous recurrence relationship.
Consider the properties of linearity in the sequence.
Consider a recurrence relation defined by a(n) = 2a(n-1) + 3 for n >= 2 with a(1) = 1. Find a(5).
Continue replacing n with earlier terms.
Using the relation T(n) = T(n-1) + T(n-2) for n >= 2 and T(0)=0, T(1)=1, derive the first four terms of T.
Use identified values iteratively.
