How to solve this recurrence relation using generating functions: $a_n = 10 a_{n-1}-25 a_{n-2} +...

$begingroup$


How can we solve the following recurrence relation using GF?



$a_n = 10 a_{n-1}-25 a_{n-2} + 5^n {n+2 choose 2}$ , for each $n>2, a_0 = 1, a_1 = 15$



I think that most of it is pretty straightforward. What really concerns me is this part



$5^n{n+2 choose 2}$



Problem further analyzed



After trying to create generating functions in the equation we end up in this



$sum_{n=2}^infty a_n x^n = 10 sum_{n=2}^infty {a_{n-1}} sum_{n=2}^infty a_{n-2} x^n + sum_{n=2}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n$



Lets take this part:



$ sum_{n=2}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n = sum_{n=2}^infty frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2} 5^nx^n $



then?

Hint for finding the GF.



Note that $(n+1)(n+2)x^n=frac{d^2}{dx^2}left(x^{n+2}right)$
and therefore
$$sum_{n=2}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n = frac{1}{2cdot 5^2}frac{d^2}{dx^2}left(
sum_{n=2}^infty (5x)^{n+2}
right).$$
Then recall that $sum_{n=0}^{infty}z^n=frac{1}{1-z}$.



Moreover in your attempt it should be
$$sum_{n=2}^infty a_n x^n = 10 sum_{n=2}^infty {a_{n-1}}x^n-25 sum_{n=2}^infty a_{n-2} x^n + sum_{n=2}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n.$$
that is
$$sum_{n=2}^infty a_n x^n = 10x sum_{n=1}^infty {a_{n}}x^n-25x^2 sum_{n=0}^infty a_{n} x^n + sum_{n=2}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n.$$
Can you take it from here and find $f(x) =sum_{n=0}^infty a_n x^n$?



Alternative way for finding $a_n$ without the GF.



The given recurrence is a non-homogeneous linear recurrence relation with constant coefficients with characteristic equation
$$z^2-10z+25=(z-5)^2=0$$
and non-homogeneous term $5^n {n+2 choose 2}$ which is a second degree polynomial multiplied by a power of $5$, which is the root of multiplicity $2$ of the characteristic equation.
Hence the general term of the recurrence with $a_0 = 1$, $a_1 = 15$ has the form
$$a_n= 5^n(An^4+Bn^3+Cn+D)$$
where $A,B,C,D$ are real constant to be determined.

$begingroup$

$sum_{n=0}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n = frac12sum_{n=0}^infty(n^2+3n+2)(5x)^n=frac12[sum_{n=0}^infty n^2y^n+3sum_{n=0}^infty ny^n+2sum_{n=0}^infty y^n]$



where $y=5x$. You will need the following series sums:



$(1)sum_{n=0}^infty n^2y^n=dfrac{y(1+y)}{(1-y)^3}\(2)sum_{n=0}^infty ny^n=dfrac y{(y-1)^2}$

$sum_{n=0}^infty {n+2 choose 2}5^nx^n = frac12sum_{n=0}^infty(n^2+3n+2)(5x)^n=frac12[sum_{n=0}^infty n^2y^n+3sum_{n=0}^infty ny^n+2sum_{n=0}^infty y^n]$



where $y=5x$. You will need the following series sums:



$(1)sum_{n=0}^infty n^2y^n=dfrac{y(1+y)}{(1-y)^3}\(2)sum_{n=0}^infty ny^n=dfrac y{(y-1)^2}$

    This is a working approach. @Robert Z provided a faster one though. In any case, thank you!
