We study recurrence, and multiple recurrence, properties along the $k$-th powers of a given set of integers. We show that the property of recurrence for some given values of $k$ does not give any constraint on the recurrence for the other…

We prove a general theorem that gives a linear recurrence for tuples of paths in every cylindrical network. This can be seen as a cylindrical analog of the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot theorem. We illustrate the result by applying it to Schur…

Let x(n) be a recurrence relation. The main purpose of this article is to determine a recurrence for powers of x(n).

The Fibonacci numbers satisfy the famous recurrence $F_n = F_{n - 1} + F_{n - 2}$. The theory of C-finite sequences ensures that the Fibonacci numbers whose indices are divisible by $m$, namely $F_{mn}$, satisfy a similar recurrence for…

Constant-recursive sequences are those which satisfy a linear recurrence, so that later terms can be obtained as a linear combination of the previous ones. The rank of a constant-recursive sequence is the minimal number of previous terms…

A recurrence equation is a discrete integrable equation whose solutions are all periodic and the period is fixed. We show that infinitely many recurrence equations can be derived from the information about invariant varieties of periodic…

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…

We prove recursive formulas for sums of squares and sums of triangular numbers in terms of sums of divisors functions and we give a variety of consequences of these formulas. Intermediate applications include statements about positivity of…

Let $S= \{ p_1, \ldots, p_s\}$ be a finite, non-empty set of distinct prime numbers and $(U_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of integers of order $r$. For any positive integer $k,$ we define $(U_j^{(k)})_{j\geq 1}$ an…

Let $\sum_{d|n}$ denote sum over divisors of a positive integer $n$, and $t_{r}(n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $r$ triangular numbers. Then we prove that $$…

We show that any graph polynomial from a wide class of graph polynomials yields a recurrence relation on an infinite class of families of graphs. The recurrence relations we obtain have coefficients which themselves satisfy linear…

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…

The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…

In previous work of the authors, we investigated the Born and inverse Born series for a scalar wave equation with linear and nonlinear terms, the nonlinearity being cubic of Kerr type [8]. We reported conditions which guarantee convergence…

The Stern poset $\mathcal{S}$ is a graded infinite poset naturally associated to Stern's triangle, which was defined by Stanley analogously to Pascal's triangle. Let $P_n$ denote the interval of $\mathcal{S}$ from the unique element of row…

For a fixed integer N, and fixed numbers b_1,...,b_N, we consider sequences, the nth term (a_n) of which is the sum of the squares of the terms in the expansion of (b_1 + ... + b_N)^n. In the case all b_i=1, we give a formula for a…

An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…

We consider a Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n^{-s}$, where $a_n$ satisfies a linear recurrence of arbitrary degree with integer coefficients. Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that it has a meromorphic continuation to the complex…

We search for triangular numbers that are multiples of other triangular numbers. It is found that for any positive non-square integer multiplier, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers that are triangular numbers and…
