    Recurrence Formula

    Definition

    A recurrence equation (also called a difference equation) is the discrete analog of a differential equation. A difference equation involves an integer function f(n) in a form like f(n) - f(n - 1) = g(n), where g is some integer function. The above equation is the discrete analog of the first-order ordinary differential equation f'(x) = g(x). Examples of difference equations often arise in dynamical systems.
