3. Recurrence relation

For second order linear homogeneous recurrence relation with constant coefficients, is it that the general sequence is only in the form of 1, t, t^2, t^3, ..., t^n or just one of the general sequences which satisfies the characteristic equation? Thank you.
4. Solving recurrence of order n

Hi, I came across this sequence $u_n$ where $u_1=1$ and subsequent terms are given by the recursive formula $$u_{n}-\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}T(n,k)u_{k}=f(n)$$ where $T(n,k)$ are real non constant coefficients and $f$ is a given function. Is there a general method to solve this equation? ... Thanks...

11. Solve this recurrence relation with repeated subsitution

\sqrt(n)T(\sqrt(n)+n I've tried what I think is right, but I came up with: (n^{1/2}*n^{1/2^{2}}*...*n^{1/2^{k}})T(n^{1/2^{k}})+(n^{1/2^{k-1}}+...+n^{1/2}+n) And I have no idea how to find the pattern of that so I'm hoping I'm wrong.
12. Help solving simple Recurrence Relation.

Hello, I'm not a mathematician, but a physicist, so I have no idea how to solve those recurrence relations, but I need to solve one (it's related to a closure phase calculation in optical interferometry). First of all I have the following recurrence relation: G(n \Delta x)=\phi[(n+1)...
