The Frobenius–Harper technique in a general recurrence model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
We present a general recurrence model which provides a conceptual framework for well-known problems such as ascents, peaks, turning points, Bernstein's urn model, the Eggenberger–Pólya urn model and the hypergeometric distribution. Moreover, we show that the Frobenius-Harper technique, based on real roots of a generating function, can be applied to this general recurrence model (under simple conditions), and so a Berry–Esséen bound and local limit theorems can be found. This provides a simple and unified approach to asymptotic theory for diverse problems hitherto treated separately.
