Analytic representations of the $n$-anacci constants and generalizations thereof

J. Integer Seq. 18(4), Article 15.4.5, 11 p., electronic only (2015)

Summary

Summary: We study generalizations of the sequence of the $n$-anacci constants that are constructed from the ratio limits generated by linear recurrences of an arbitrary order $n$ with equal integer weights $m$. We derive the analytic representation of the class $C^{\infty }$ of these ratio limits and prove that, for a fixed $m$, the ratio limits form a strictly increasing sequence converging to $m+1$. We also show that the generalized $n$-anacci constants form a totally ordered set.
