Polynomial recurrence characterization for Lucas atoms at t=0t=0

About 3 years old · traced to

Let s∈Zs\in\mathbb Z. The sequence (Pn(s,0))n≥1(P_n(s,0))_{n\geq 1} is called polynomially recurrent if it satisfies a polynomial recurrence in nn. Polynomial-recurrence conjecture. The sequence (Pn(s,0))n≥1(P_n(s,0))_{n\geq 1} is polynomially recurrent if and only if s∈{−1,0,1}s\in\{-1,0,1\}. The preceding non-holonomicity result applies only when t≠0t\neq 0, while for t=0t=0 one has P1(s,0)=1P_1(s,0)=1 and Pn(s,0)=sφ(n)P_n(s,0)=s^{\varphi(n)} for n≥2n\geq 2; the conjecture asks exactly which integer values of ss yield polynomial recurrence.
