Abstract

A sequence is called CC-finite if it satisfies a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We study sequences which satisfy a linear recurrence with CC-finite coefficients. Recently, it was shown that such C2C^2-finite sequences satisfy similar closure properties as CC-finite sequences. In particular, they form a difference ring. In this paper we present new techniques for performing these closure properties of C2C^2-finite sequences. These methods also allow us to derive order bounds which were not known before. Additionally, they provide more insight in the effectiveness of these computations. The results are based on the exponent lattice of algebraic numbers. We present an iterative algorithm which can be used to compute bases of such lattices.
