Abstract
Consider the difference equation (also called recurrence relation) with given boundary conditions
where the constants a 1, ...a k , c 0 , ...,c k−1 and the sequence 〈b n 〉 are given. A solution to this equation is a sequence 〈u n 〉 satisfying (4.1) and (4.2). If b n = 0, for all n, then the resulting equation is the corresponding homogeneous equation to (4.1).
