Recurrence relation

Recurrence relation

Recurrence relations are equations that define the nth term of a sequence in terms of k previous terms, where k is independent of n. They can be used to calculate the rest of the sequence once the first k numbers have been given. Linear recurrences with constant coefficients can be expressed as closed-form expressions of n. Solving a recurrence relation means obtaining a closed-form solution.
