- Can someone in the net point me to the solution of the following
- problem:
-
- I have two series which are cross-linked:
-
- f(n) = a * f(n-1) + b * g(n-1)
- g(n) = c * f(n-1) + d * g(n-1)
-
- where a != b != c != d
-
- I am after an explicit formula for
-
- Sum [f(k)+g(k)] {k=1,n}.
-
- For people with Mechanical Engineering background: This is to solve
- the multiple reflection of waves inside a plate.
-
- Any hints or information welcome.
-
- Thanks in advance.
