[seqfan] Re: Simple seq with 3 in 4

[Alexander P-sky]

PURRS Demo Results
Verified exact solution for x(n) = x(-1+n)-x(-4+n)+x(-3+n)
for the initial conditions
x(0) = 1
x(1) = 3
x(2) = 0
x(3) = 2
Verified solution
x(n) = 1+1/3*n-(5/9*I)*sqrt(3)*(-1/2+(1/2*I)*sqrt(3))^n+(5/9*I)*sqrt(3)*(-1/2-(1/2*I)*sqrt(3))^n
for each n >= 0

Computing the exact solution took about 61 ms of CPU time;
verifying it took about 19 ms of CPU time.
