Effective Bounds for P-Recursive Sequences

Symbolic Computation 2013-06-19 v2

Abstract

We describe an algorithm that takes as input a complex sequence (un)(u_n) given by a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients along with initial values, and outputs a simple explicit upper bound (vn)(v_n) such that unvn|u_n| \leq v_n for all nn. Generically, the bound is tight, in the sense that its asymptotic behaviour matches that of unu_n. We discuss applications to the evaluation of power series with guaranteed precision.
