  2. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed number called the common ratio. For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.

  3. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    The nth element of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the product of the nth element of an arithmetic sequence and the nth element of a geometric sequence. [1] An arithmetico-geometric series is a sum of terms that are the elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence. Arithmetico-geometric sequences and series arise in various applications ...

  4. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  5. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    As another example of using generating functions to relate sequences and manipulate sums, for an arbitrary sequence f n we define the two sequences of sums := = ~:= = (+) (+) (+), for all n ≥ 0, and seek to express the second sums in terms of the first. We suggest an approach by generating functions.

  6. Padovan sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padovan_sequence

    The Padovan sequence numbers can be written in terms of powers of the roots of the equation [1] = This equation has 3 roots; one real root p (known as the plastic ratio) and two complex conjugate roots q and r. [5] Given these three roots, the Padovan sequence can be expressed by a formula involving p, q and r :

    Bird flu has been on the rise in Washington state and one sanctuary was hit hard: 20 big cats – more than half of the facility’s population – died over the course of weeks.

  9. Divergent geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_geometric_series

    It is useful to figure out which summation methods produce the geometric series formula for which common ratios. One application for this information is the so-called Borel-Okada principle: If a regular summation method assigns = to / for all in a subset of the complex plane, given certain restrictions on , then the method also gives the analytic continuation of any other function () = = on ...
