Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to derive the closed form solution the sequence (gn)nN(g_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} of integro-difference equations that is defined recursively as follows: \begin{align*} g_1(x) & = \chi_{(-1/2, 1/2)} (x), g_{n+1}(x) & = g_n(x + 1/2)- g_n(x- 1/2) + \int_{x-\frac{1}{2}}^{x + \frac{1}{2}} g_n(s)ds, \, n\in \mathbb{N}, \end{align*} where g1(x)=χ(1/2,1/2)(x) g_1(x)= \chi_{(-1/2, 1/2)} (x) is the characteristic function of the unit interval (1/2,1/2)(-1/2, 1/2) has value equal to 1 1 on (1/2,1/2)(-1/2, 1/2) and 00 elsewhere in R \mathbb{R} .
