Analysis of Carleman Representation of Analytical Recursions

Abstract

We study a general method to map a nonlinear analytical recursion onto a linear one. The solution of the recursion is represented as a product of matrices whose elements depend only on the form of the recursion and not on initial conditions. First we consider the method for polynomial recursions of arbitrary degree and then the method is generalized to analytical recursions. Some properties of these matrices, such as the existence of an inverse matrix and diagonalization, are also studied. © 1998 Academic Press.
