LREtools[HypergeometricTerm][UniversalDenominator] - return the universal denominator of the rational solutions for a difference equation depending on a hypergeometric term
Calling Sequence
UniversalDenominator(eq, var, term)
Parameters
eq
-
linear difference equation depending on a hypergeometric term
var
function variable for which to solve, for example, z(n)
term
hypergeometric term
Description
The PolynomialSolution(eq, var, term) command returns the universal denominator of the rational solution of the linear difference equation eq.
The hypergeometric term in the linear difference equation is specified by a name, for example, t. The meaning of the term is defined by the parameter term. It can be specified directly in the form of an equation, for example, , or specified as a list consisting of the name of the term variable and the consecutive term ratio, for example, .
The term "rational solution" means a solution in . (See PolynomialSolution for the meaning of "polynomial solution".) Here we use the term "denominator" which is q in to mean that is in .
The search for a rational solution is based on finding a universal denominator which is u in such that is in for any rational solution y. By replacing y with in the given equation, we reduce the problem to searching for a polynomial solution.
