Problem 8057. (Linear) Recurrence Equations - Generalised Fibonacci-like sequences
This problem is inspired by problems 2187, 3092 and other problems based on Fibonacci sequence.
I haven't seen here many problems based on other recursive sequences such as Lucas numbers, Pell numbers, Padovan sequence or Tribonacci numbers so this is a problem about them all.
Your function input will be N, Init and Rules. Init and Rules represent initial values of sequence and a kernel which denotes recurrence relation:
Init : [ A1 A2 ... Ak]
Rules : [ Ck ... C2 C1] function: f(n) = (Ck) * f(n-k) + ... + (C2) * f(n-2) + (C1) * f(n-1)
and f(1) = A1, f(2) = A2, ..., f(k) = Ak,Init and Rules have the same length, N may be a single number or a vector. Your function should return values of f(N). Example:
% Fibonacci sequence: f(1)=f(2)=1, f(n)=f(n-2)+f(n-1)
>> Init = [1 1];
>> Rules = [1 1];
>> N = 1:10;
>> fibonacci = recurrence_seq(N,Init,Rules),
fibonacci =
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55Other info:
- Different approaches may lead to solutions which won't be able to compute f(n) for n being equal 0 or negative integer. If your solution doesn't return correct answer for those numbers it will still pass if it returns NaNs for n<1.
- Please, try to avoid unnecessary things like strings, ans, etc.
