Original question and givens

Use order r=4, coefficients=[1, 2, 3, 4] in oldest-to-newest order, constant=2 and initial_values=[14, 15, 16, 17], where initial_values[j]=a_j. For n≥r, a_n=constant+sum over j=0..r−1 of coefficients[j]*a_(n−r+j). The state shifts left then appends the new scalar. All intermediate integer operations must be safe. Give (order, coefficients, constant, initial_values, complete_initials, total_rule, index_scope).

  • G001 — Use order r=4, coefficients=[1, 2, 3, 4] in oldest-to-newest order, constant=2 and initial_values=[14, 15, 16, 17], where initial_values[j]=a_j. For n≥r, a_n=constant+sum over j=0..r−1 of coefficients[j]*a_(n−r+j). The state shifts left then appends the new scalar. All intermediate integer operations must be safe.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

After

explicit ordered source output fields=[order, coefficients, constant, initial_values, complete_initials, total_rule, index_scope]

Conditions: none

Keep the historical interface marker and list ordered source fields without JavaScript.Tags are not additional evidence;fixed No markers retain their scope.The ordering helper supplies protocol order,not mathematical correctness.

S011 · implies

Before

recurrence ORIGINAL:ORIGINAL target n=4;previous state a_(n-r)..a_(n-1)=[14, 15, 16, 17];ALL [j,source_index,coefficient,value,product] rows=[[0, 0, 1, 14, 14], [1, 1, 2, 15, 30], [2, 2, 3, 16, 48], [3, 3, 4, 17, 68]]

After

ANY two sequences with SAME r initials and SAME total rule agree at n=4 by substitution,then at every later n by induction;this determines the requested prefix only

Conditions: none

Induct from equality of all r initials:the same single-valued rule gives equality of the next term,and hence every later prefix term.Finite generation proves no closed form,asymptotic behavior or analyticity.
