[seqfan] Re: List of sequences with linear recurs. and o.g.f. missing

[Joerg Arndt]

Firstly I suggest a keyword 'per' indicating PERiodicty
(and another one 'nper' for eveNtually PERiodic seqs).
It will be very helpful with searching.

Earlier I suggested a keyword 'lrec' indicating that the seq
(OGF) is a rational function (i.e. there is a Linear RECurrence
(with constant coefficients)).
But this was declined...  *sob!*

Keywords like the above will be crucial for searching in
more and more seqs.  Example: when searching for a string
of symbols generated as fixed points of a morphism I'd
like to exclude those with 'lrec'.

A mechanical task:
? \r ggf.gpi
? ggf([1, 5, 7, 8, 4, 2, 1, 5, 7, 8, 4, 2, 1, 5, 7, 8, 4, 2, 1, 5, 7, 8, 4, 2, 1, 5, 7])
(2*x^3 + 2*x^2 + 4*x + 1)/(-x^4 + x^3 - x + 1)

Suggest automated approach after undeclining 'lrec'.
