Extension To Negative Parameters
As with any sequence defined by a recurrence relation, Padovan numbers P(m) for m<0 can be defined by rewriting the recurrence relation as
Starting with m=-1 and working backwards, we extend P(m) to negative indices:
-
P−20 P−19 P−18 P−17 P−16 P−15 P−14 P−13 P−12 P−11 P-10 P-9 P-8 P-7 P-6 P-5 P-4 P-3 P-2 P-1 P0 P1 P2 7 -7 4 0 −3 4 −3 1 1 -2 2 -1 0 1 -1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1

Famous quotes containing the words extension, negative and/or parameters:
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
