A Property of Recursive Sequences

Alexander A. Roytvarf

A chapter in Thinking in Problems, 2013, pp 25-28 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This short chapter is devoted to a beautiful elementary problem about numerical linear recursive sequences that was proposed by the Soviet scientist A.D. Sakharov. We open the chapter with Sakharov’s original formulation of the famous Fibonacci sequence and then ask readers to find its generalizations. These problems assume no familiarity with combinatorial analysis and can be solved by readers with limited experience.
