ye,gAr.see ya.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: What do you think?
Hi gAr;
I completed the problem. I think you will like the solution.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi bobbym,
Yes, I'd like to see the solution!

Hi gAr;
Thanks! What edition do you have? I got the matrix method to work!

Re: What do you think?
Hi,
It's third edition.
That's nice! How's the matrix form, can we get asymptotic form directly?

Hi;
I do not think so it just gets a formula for x(n) in a slightly simpler form.

Re: What do you think?
Okay.
Maybe complex analysis is the only way to deal with asymptotics.

There are methods like Darboux but I never could understand it. I use complex analysis.

Hi bobbym,
Thanks!
I found a thesis which deals with asymptotics, looks interesting: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/su … 1.131.2041

Hi bobbym,
Yes, there's a lot of information in it.
What you suggest is right, thanks. But the recurrence in that post is also correct, I think. See you later.

Hi bobbym,
Now I understand, you were writing the recurrence from the g.f. I thought that was a correction!

Re: What do you think?
New problem:
A biased coin is to be flipped a certain number of times. The probability of heads is .4 If the coin is repeatedly flipped what is the probability of 15 heads in a row before 15 tails in a row occur?
A says) (.4)^15 * (.6)^15
B says) That is not right I am getting .003412
C says) All the way with A, baby!
D says) A is the man!
E says) A is incorrect.
What is the correct answer?

I think that this isn't correct, but I just thought that I should share what I got just so I could find out what I did wrong.
