Sequences defined using a Linear Recurrence

In the introduction to the time series course (MAT8181) this morning, we did spend some time on the expression of (deterministic) sequences defined using a linear recurence (we will need that later on, so I wanted to make sure that those results were familiar to everyone). First order recurence The most simple case is the first order recurence, where (for convenience). Observe that we can remove the constant, using a simple translation if . So, starting from this point, we will always rem..
