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:
“‘Tis the perception of the beautiful,
A fine extension of the faculties,
Platonic, universal, wonderful,
Drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies,
Without which life would be extremely dull.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“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)
