A Different Approach to Recurrence Relations: A Combinatorial Proof of the Closed Forms for Linear Recursions

Derks, Halcyon C. (Kalamazoo College, 2009)

Given a third order linear homogeneous recurrence relation, it is possible to find a closed form by using the roots of the characteristic polynomial. This research has yielded a proof for the closed form solution when ...
