We consider real sequences $(f_n)$ that satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We show that the density of the positivity set of such a sequence always exists. In the special case where the sequence has no positive…

Let $(a_n), (b_n)$ be linear recursive sequences of integers with characteristic polynomials $A(X),B(X)\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ respectively. Assume that $A(X)$ has a dominating and simple real root $\alpha$, while $B(X)$ has a pair of conjugate…

In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials $W_n(z)$ satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients over positive numbers. We discover a sufficient and necessary condition for the…

Given a linear recurrence sequence (LRS) over the integers, the Positivity Problem} asks whether all terms of the sequence are positive. We show that, for simple LRS (those whose characteristic polynomial has no repeated roots) of order 9…

Deciding the positivity of a sequence defined by a linear recurrence and initial conditions is, in general, a hard problem. When the coefficients of the recurrences are constants, decidability has only been proven up to order 5. The…

Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} $ be a polynomial power sum, i.e. a simple linear recurrence sequence of complex polynomials with power sum representation $ G_n = f_1\alpha_1^n + \cdots + f_k\alpha_k^n $ and polynomial characteristic roots $…

The set of indices that correspond to the positive entries of a sequence of numbers is called its positivity set. In this paper, we study the density of the positivity set of a given linear recurrence sequence, that is the question of how…

We consider the decidability and complexity of the Ultimate Positivity Problem, which asks whether all but finitely many terms of a given rational linear recurrence sequence (LRS) are positive. Using lower bounds in Diophantine…

In this paper, given a simple linear recurrence sequence of algebraic numbers, which has either a dominant characteristic root or exactly two characteristic roots of maximal modulus, we give some explicit lower bounds for the index beyond…

We establish a sufficient condition for the ultimate positivity of P-recursive sequences of arbitrary order with a unique dominant root. By additionally verifying finitely many initial terms, the positivity can also be resolved. As an…

The long run behaviour of linear dynamical systems is often studied by looking at eventual properties of matrices and recurrences that underlie the system. A basic problem that lies at the core of many questions in this setting is the…

Let $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ be a nondegenerate linear recurrence of integers, and let $\mathcal{A}$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that $u_n$ and $n$ are relatively prime. We prove that $\mathcal{A}$ has an asymptotic density, and that…

We consider two decision problems for linear recurrence sequences (LRS) over the integers, namely the Positivity Problem (are all terms of a given LRS positive?) and the Ultimate Positivity Problem} (are all but finitely many terms of a…

Given a linear recurrence of the form $c_n=a_1c_{n-1}+\cdots+a_j c_{n-j}$, it is well-known that $c_n=\sum_{r}p_r(n)r^n$, where the sum is taken over the set of characteristic roots and each $p_r(n)$ is some polynomial. We give a closed…

We consider linear recurrences with polynomial coefficients of Poincar\'e type and with a unique simple dominant eigenvalue. We give an algorithm that proves or disproves positivity of solutions provided the initial conditions satisfy a…

The classical Fibonacci sequence is known to exhibit many fascinating properties. In this paper, we explore the Fibonacci sequence and integer sequences generated by second order linear recurrence relations with positive integer…

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 present some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the positivity problem of three-term recurrence sequences. As applications we show the positivity of diagonal Taylor coefficients of some rational functions in a unified approach.…

We consider two algorithms which can be used for proving positivity of sequences that are defined by a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients (P-finite sequences). Both algorithms have in common that while they do succeed…

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…
