چکیده

We provide two combinatorial proofs that linear recurrences with constant coefficients have a closed form based on the roots of its characteristic equation. The proofs employ sign-reversing involutions on weighted tilings.

Simultaneous modeling of multiple recurrences in breast cancer patients

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common recurrence cancers among women. There are several factors that can affect multiple recurrence of this disease. On the other hand, simultaneous examination of the types of relapses will make the results more accurate. The purpose of this study was to use a joint frailty model to model multiple recurrences of breast cancer patients. Materials ...

Generating Matrices for Weighted Sums of Second Order Linear Recurrences

In this paper, we give fourth order recurrences and generating matrices for the weighted sums of second order recurrences. We derive by matrix methods some new explicit formulas and combinatorial representations, and some relationships between the permanents of certain superdiagonal matrices and these sums.

Construction of Equidistributed Generators Based on Linear Recurrences Modulo 2

Random number generators based on linear recurrences modulo 2 are widely used and appear in different forms, such as the simple and combined Tausworthe generators, the GFSR, and the twisted GFSR generators. Low-discrepancy point sets for quasi-Monte Carlo integration can also be constructed based on these linear recurrences. The quality of these generators or point sets is usually measured by c...

Linear Recurrences through Tilings and Markov Chains

We present a tiling interpretation for kth order linear recurrences, which yields new combinatorial proofs for recurrence identities. Moreover, viewing the tiling process as a Markov chain also yields closed form Binet-like expressions for these recurrences.
