Function: math[recseq] - recursive iteration of a sequence

Calling Sequence:

recseq(expr, x=s, i);

Parameters:

expr - any expression

x - the indeterminate in expr

s - starting point (of any type)

i - number of iterations (a positive integer)

Description:

recseq returns a sequence of values from a recursive iteration of expr in x including the starting point s. The number of iterations i is given by the third argument to recseq. If i is 1 then only s is returned.

s usually is a numeric value or a name.

This function is part of the math package, and so can be used only after performing the command with(math) or with(math, recseq).

Examples:

> with(math, recseq):

> recseq(x^2, x=0.5, 10);

> recseq(1/n, n=a, 5);
