Original question and givens

Use order2 coefficients=[1, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=1, known a_0=21, alternative a_1=22 or 23, target_n=6. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

  • G001 — Use order2 coefficients=[1, 3] oldest-to-newest, constant=1, known a_0=21, alternative a_1=22 or 23, target_n=6. Give (first_initial, second_left, second_right, left_prefix, right_prefix, prefixes_differ, one_initial_uniqueness_claim, boundary).

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.

S055 · implies

Before

recurrence RIGHT completion:complete ORIGINAL initial state=[21, 23];actual generated prefix=[21, 23, 91, 297, 983, 3247, 10725]

After

ANY two sequences with SAME r initials and SAME total rule agree at n=2 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.

S056 · implies

Before

ORIGINAL only known a_0=21;different completions a_1=22 and23;target=6

After

WHOLE prefixes including initials differ=Yes;actual targets=[10365, 10725] MAY coincide;one_initial_uniqueness_claim fixed No

Conditions: none

The prefixes already differ at a1,so the complete prefix is not unique;the target values need not remain different.The final No withholds order2 uniqueness from one initial,without negating prefixes_differ.
