Hello Mathematica (v.3,0 for Windows) Users,
I have a question that I hope someone has an answer for. I have the
following recurrence relation:
a[n+2]= 1/(b^2) ( b/2 a[n] + n (n-1)/4 a[n-2] )
for the indices in the series n>=2.
I want to use the formula to determine the values of a[n] for
n=2,3,4,...12 and give these values in the table
I have written :
Clear [a,n,b]
a[n_] := a[n]= 1/(b^2) ( b/2 a[n-2] + (n-2) (n-3)/4 a[n-4] ); a[0]=a0;
a[1]=a1;
TableForm[ Table[{n, a[n]}, {n,0,12}]]
an I have got the following message:
$RecursionLimit::"reclim": "Recursion depth of \!\(256\) exceeded."
$RecursionLimit::"reclim": "Recursion depth of \!\(256\) exceeded."
$RecursionLimit::"reclim": "Recursion depth of \!\(256\) exceeded."
General::"stop":
"Further output of \!\($RecursionLimit :: \"reclim\"\) will be
suppressed \
during this calculation."
What does the message mean? I will be happy to get any information
abaout this problem.
