Padovan Sequence - Extension To Negative Parameters

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:

    A dense undergrowth of extension cords sustains my upper world of lights, music, and machines of comfort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Isolation in creative work is an onerous thing. Better to have negative criticism than nothing at all.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths.
