Question 24690: The Full Recurrence Keeps Both Initial Boundary Terms in Its OGF

Original question and givens

Use the whole recurrence a_n=a_(n−1)+a_(n−2) for every n≥2, initial a_0=15, a_1=16, and x=1/6 with |x|<1/2. Give (a0, a1, coefficient_preview, x, numerator, denominator, analytic_value, certificate).

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

source roles = [ogf-recurrence-boundary-terms]

derived = [[a0, a1, coefficient_preview, x, numerator, denominator, analytic_value, certificate]]

OGF complete recurrence coefficient2 := sum(15, 16)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient2 = 31

OGF complete recurrence coefficient3 := sum(16, 31)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient3 = 47

OGF complete recurrence coefficient4 := sum(31, 47)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient4 = 78

OGF complete recurrence coefficient5 := sum(47, 78)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient5 = 125

OGF complete recurrence coefficient6 := sum(78, 125)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient6 = 203

OGF complete recurrence coefficient7 := sum(125, 203)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient7 = 328

OGF complete recurrence coefficient8 := sum(203, 328)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient8 = 531

OGF complete recurrence coefficient9 := sum(328, 531)

OGF complete recurrence coefficient9 = 859

OGF initial a1 minus a0 boundary := sub(16, 15)

OGF initial a1 minus a0 boundary = 1

OGF initial boundary times x := mul(1, 1/6)

OGF initial boundary times x = 1/6

OGF numerator with BOTH initial terms := sum(15, 1/6)

OGF numerator with BOTH initial terms = 91/6

(1/6)^2

OGF original x square = 1/36

OGF denominator one minus x := sub(1, 1/6)

OGF denominator one minus x = 5/6

OGF denominator subtract x squared := sub(5/6, 1/36)

OGF denominator subtract x squared = 29/36

OGF recurrence analytic closed value := div(91/6, 29/36)

OGF recurrence analytic closed value = 546/29

source roles = [15, 16, 1/6, [15, 16, 31, 47, 78, 125, 203, 328, 531, 859]]

derived = [91/6, 29/36, 546/29, (1-x-x^2)A=a0+(a1-a0)x]

Result

(15, 16, [15, 16, 31, 47, 78, 125, 203, 328, 531, 859], 1/6, 91/6, 29/36, 546/29, A(x)=(a0+(a1-a0)x)/(1-x-x^2)_with_initial_boundary_terms_preserved)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
