AN ENTIRE FUNCTION DEFINED BY A NONLINEAR RECURRENCE RELATION
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 March 2003
Abstract
For the nonlinear recurrence relation \[ \alpha_2 = \alpha_1(1 - \alpha_1), \quad \alpha_{k+1} = k^2 \alpha_k + \sum\limits_{m=2}^{k-1} \alpha_m \alpha_{k+1-m}, \quad k\geqslant 2, \] it is proved that the limit \[ p_{\infty}(\alpha_1) = \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \alpha_k /[(k-1)!]^2 \] exists and defines an entire function of $\alpha_2 = \alpha_1(1-\alpha_1)$ .
