On the set of positive integers, we consider the iterative process that maps $n$ to either $\frac{3n+1}{2}$ or $\frac{n}{2}$ depending on the parity of $n$. The Collatz conjecture states that all such sequences eventually enter the trivial…
In this paper we show how to find a closed form solution for third order difference operators in terms of solutions of second order operators. This work is an extension of previous results on finding closed form solutions of recurrence…
We characterize the structure of the periods of a neuronal recurrence equation. Firstly, we give a characterization of k-chains in 0-1 periodic sequences. Secondly, we characterize the periods of all cycles of some neuronal recurrence…
The Collatz sequence for a given natural number $N$ is generated by repeatedly applying the map $N$ $\rightarrow$ $3N+1$ if $N$ is odd and $N$ $\rightarrow$ $N/2$ if $N$ is even. One elusive open problem in Mathematics is whether all such…
In this paper we give efficient algorithms for computing second-, third-, and fourth-order linear recurrences. We also present an algorithm scheme for computing terms with the indices $N,\ldots,N+n-1$ of an $n$th-order linear recurrence.…
A three term recurrence relation is derived for a basis consisting of polynomials multiplied by sines and cosines with large, but fixed frequencies. A numerical method for computing the coefficients of the three term recurrence relation is…

The aim of this work is to study the existence of a periodic solutions of third order differential equations $z'''(t) = Az(t) + f(t)$ with the periodic condition $x(0) = x(2\pi), x'(0) = x'(2\pi)$ and $x''(0) = x''(2\pi)$. Our approach is…
This work is devoted to the study of first order linear problems with involution and general linear conditions. We first study the problem in the case of antiperiodic boundary conditions, giving an explicit Green's function for it. Then we…

For a 4th order 3-dimensional symmetric tensor with its some entries $1$ or $-1$, we show the analytic sufficient and necessary conditions of its positive definiteness. By applying these conclusions, several strict inequalities is bulit for…
Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…
We obtain the complete Lie point symmetry algebras of two sequences of odd-order evolution equations. This includes equations that are fully-nonlinear, i.e. nonlinear in the highest derivative. Two of the equations in the sequences have…
We determine periodic and aperiodic points of certain piecewise affine maps in the Euclidean plane. Using these maps, we prove for $\lambda\in\{\frac{\pm1\pm\sqrt5}2,\pm\sqrt2,\pm\sqrt3\}$ that all integer sequences $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$…
We describe new, simple, recursive methods of construction for orientable sequences over an arbitrary finite alphabet, i.e. periodic sequences in which any sub-sequence of n consecutive elements occurs at most once in a period in either…
We face the problem of characterizing the periodic cases in parametric families of (real or complex) rational diffeomorphisms having a fixed point. Our approach relies on the Normal Form Theory, to obtain necessary conditions for the…

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…
