Extract

Recursively defined sequences (in other words difference equations) appear in modelling systems changing in discrete time steps. The asymptotic behaviour of such sequences tells us information about the state of the modelled system after a long time. The simplest difference equations are linear, but the standard solving method of even these simple equations involves eigenvalue and eigenvector computation, complex numbers and linear algebra.
