A nearly linear recurrence sequence (nlrs) is a complex sequence $(a_n)$ with the property that there exist complex numbers $A_0$,$\ldots$, $A_{d-1}$ such that the sequence $\big(a_{n+d}+A_{d-1}a_{n+d-1}+\cdots +A_0a_n\big)_{n=0}^{\infty}$…
We study the expressive power of polynomial recursive sequences, a nonlinear extension of the well-known class of linear recursive sequences. These sequences arise naturally in the study of nonlinear extensions of weighted automata, where…
We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $u_m + u_n = a_1 n_1! + \cdots + a_k n_k!$ and prove that there are only finitely many…
We define a triangular array closely related to Stern's diatomic array and show that for a fixed integer $r\geq 1$, the sum $u_r(n)$ of the $r$th powers of the entries in row $n$ satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. The…
We investigate the number of squares in a very broad family of binary recurrence sequences with $u_{0}=1$. We show that there are at most two distinct squares in such sequences (the best possible result), except under such very special…
We study the recurrence of the product of n functions, each of which satisfies the same recurrence relation.
Non-linear recurrences which generate integers in a surprising way have been studied by many people. Typically people study recurrences that are linear in the highest order term. In this paper I consider what happens when the recurrence is…
We introduce a subclass of linear recurrence sequences which we call poly-rational sequences because they are denoted by rational expressions closed under sum and product. We show that this class is robust by giving several…
We first introduce a family of binary $pq^2$-periodic sequences based on the Euler quotients modulo $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are two distinct odd primes and $p$ divides $q-1$. The minimal polynomials and linear complexities are determined…
In this manuscript, new algebraic and analytic aspects of the orthogonal polynomials satisfying $R_{II}$ type recurrence relation given by \begin{align*} \mathcal{P}_{n+1}(x) = (x-c_n)\mathcal{P}_n(x)-\lambda_n…
We consider a family of nonlinear recurrences with the Laurent property. Although these recurrences are not generated by mutations in a cluster algebra, they fit within the broader framework of Laurent phenomenon algebras, as introduced…
One of the most popular and studied recursive series is the Fibonacci sequence. It is challenging to see how Fibonacci numbers can be used to generate other recursive sequences. In our article, we describe some families of integer…
We recast homogeneous linear recurrence sequences with fixed coefficients in terms of partial Bell polynomials, and use their properties to obtain various combinatorial identities and multifold convolution formulas. Our approach relies on a…
We study the properties of the sequence of words $(B_i)$, where $B_1 = 101$ and $B_{i+1} = B_i C_i$ for $i \geq 1$, where $C_i$ is $B_i$ with the first $i$ symbols removed, and the infinite binary sequence ${\bf b} = 10101101011011101…
In this paper, we undertake a systematic study of recurrences x_{m+n}x_{m} = P(x_{m+1}, ..., x_{m+n-1}) which exhibit the Laurent phenomenon. Some of the most famous among these sequences come from the Somos and the Gale-Robinson…
This paper is the continuation of \cite{htl}, where we deal with Lucas sequences. Here we study integers represented by integer sequences which satisfy binary recursive relations. In case of non-degenerate sequences we give bounds for the…
We consider a parametrised family of Thue equations, \[ (x-G_1(n)\, y) \cdots (x-G_d(n)\, y) - y^d = \pm 1, \] which was first considered by Thomas to have an explicit set of solutions for parameters $n$ larger than some effectively…
Several operations can be defined on the set of all linear recurrent sequences, such as the binomial convolution (Hurwitz product) or the multinomial convolution (Newton product). Using elementary techniques, we prove that this set equipped…
Let $\beta$ be a non-unit real algebraic integer greater than one and $\{a_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a sequence satisfying a linear recurrence relation $a_{n+3}=aa_{n+2}+ba_{n+1}+ca_{n}$. Under certain conditions, we prove that the number of…
