解题思路

这道题目围绕常系数线性递推方程展开，主要任务是确定最小维度的状态向量和状态转移矩阵 $\mathbf{M}$，然后利用这些结果解决后续的问题。首先，需要通过试探不同的 $k$ 值来确定状态转移矩阵的最小维度。接着，根据所得到的 $\mathbf{M}$，求解向量 $\mathbf{L}$ 和 $\mathbf{N}$。最后，利用 $\mathbf{M}$、$\mathbf{L}$ 和 $\mathbf{N}$，对新的递推序列进行分析，并计算所要求的矩阵的秩和生成函数的 Taylor 展开。

Solution

Question 1

We are given the sequence $\left(c_1{c}_2{c}_3{c}_4{c}_5{c}_6{c}_7\right)=\left(12-820-4492-188\right)$ and need to find the smallest integer $k$ and the corresponding $k\times k$ constant matrix $\mathbf{M}$ such that:

$$\left(\begin{array}{c}{c}_{i+1}\\ c_{i+2}\\ ⋮\\ c_{i+k}\end{array}\right)=\mathbf{M}\left(\begin{array}{c}{c}_i\\ c_{i+1}\\ ⋮\\ c_{i+k-1}\end{array}\right)$$

for $i=1,2,\dots ,7-k$.

We will examine different cases for $k$:

• Case $k=1$: We look for $\mathbf{M}$ as a $1\times 1$ matrix. This would imply that $c_{i+1}=\mathbf{M}{c}_i$ for all $i$. Given the sequence, this would require $\mathbf{M}$ to satisfy:

  $$\frac{c_2}{c_1}=\frac{c_3}{c_2}=\cdots =\frac{c_7}{c_6}$$

  The ratios $\frac{c_2}{c_1}=2$, $\frac{c_3}{c_2}=-4$, etc., are not consistent. Hence, $k\ne 1$.

• Case $k=2$: After examining the sequence and calculating the corresponding $\mathbf{M}$ matrices, we find that the smallest value of $k$ is $k=2$.

  The matrix $\mathbf{M}$ that satisfies the relation is:

$$\mathbf{M}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& 1\\ -2& -3\end{array}\right)$$

This matrix correctly satisfies the equation:

$$\left(\begin{array}{c}{c}_{i+1}\\ c_{i+2}\end{array}\right)=\mathbf{M}\left(\begin{array}{c}{c}_i\\ c_{i+1}\end{array}\right)$$

for all $i=1,2,\dots ,7-k$.

Question 2

We need to represent the sequence $c_i$ in the form:

$$c_i=\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^{i-1}\mathbf{N}$$

where $\mathbf{L}$ is a row vector in ${\mathbb{R}}^{1\times 2}$, and $\mathbf{N}$ is a column vector in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2\times 1}$. Our goal is to determine $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{N}$.

Since $\mathbf{M}$ describes the recurrence relationship, we start by identifying appropriate vectors $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{N}$. To match the initial conditions, we will use $c_1=1$ and $c_2=2$.

Let’s assume:

$$\mathbf{L}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{l}_1& l_2\end{array}\right),\mathbf{N}=\left(\begin{array}{c}{n}_1\\ n_2\end{array}\right)$$

Step 1: Determine $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{N}$ using $c_1$

The first element in the sequence is given by:

$$c_1=\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^0\mathbf{N}=\mathbf{LN}$$

Substituting $c_1=1$:

$$1=l_1{n}_1+l_2{n}_2$$

Step 2: Determine $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{N}$ using $c_2$

The second element in the sequence is given by:

$$c_2=\mathbf{LMN}$$

Substituting $c_2=2$, we get:

$$2=\mathbf{L}\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& 1\\ -2& -3\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}{n}_1\\ n_2\end{array}\right)$$

Which simplifies to:

$$2=l_1{n}_2-2l_2{n}_1-3l_2{n}_2$$

Step 3: Simplify assumptions

To simplify the calculations, we can assume $l_1=1$, $l_2=0$. This is a valid assumption because $\mathbf{L}$ represents the initial state of the system, and choosing $l_1=1$ corresponds to starting with the first element in the vector form. Thus:

$$\mathbf{L}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\end{array}\right)$$

Therefore, the vector $\mathbf{N}$ is:

$$\mathbf{N}=\left(\begin{array}{c}{c}_1\\ c_2\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}1\\ 2\end{array}\right)$$

Question 3

Given that the sequence $c_i$ is generated by a second-order linear recurrence relation, the rank of matrix $\mathbf{C}$ is determined by the linear independence of its rows or columns. Since the sequence can be expressed as a combination of the first two vectors $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{N}$ through the matrix $\mathbf{M}$, each row of the matrix $\mathbf{C}$ beyond the second row can be expressed as a linear combination of the first two rows. Specifically, for any row $n$ (where $n\ge 3$):

$$\text{Row }n=-2\times \text{Row }(n-2)-3\times \text{Row }(n-1)$$

This shows that all subsequent rows are dependent on the first two rows, confirming that the rank of $\mathbf{C}$ is 2.

Thus, the rank of matrix $\mathbf{C}$ will be:

$$\text{rank}(\mathbf{C})=2$$

Question 4

Step 1: Expanding the Inverse Matrix

The expression $(I-x\mathbf{M}{)}^{-1}$ can be expanded as a geometric series:

$$(I-x\mathbf{M}{)}^{-1}=I+x\mathbf{M}+x^2{\mathbf{M}}^2+x^3{\mathbf{M}}^3+\dots$$

Substituting this expansion into the function $f(x)$:

$$f(x)=\mathbf{L}(I+x\mathbf{M}+x^2{\mathbf{M}}^2+x^3{\mathbf{M}}^3+\dots )\mathbf{N}$$

Expanding and collecting terms:

$$f(x)=\mathbf{LN}+x\mathbf{LMN}+x^2\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^2\mathbf{N}+\dots$$

Step 2: Identifying the Taylor Series Coefficients

From the expansion above, we can identify the coefficients $f_i$:

• The constant term (coefficient of $x^0$) is:

$$f_1=\mathbf{LN}$$

• The coefficient of $x$ (linear term) is:

$$f_2=\mathbf{LMN}$$

• The coefficient of $x^2$ (quadratic term) is:

$$f_3=\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^2\mathbf{N}$$

• And so on.

In general, the coefficient $f_i$ is given by:

$$f_i=\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^{i-1}\mathbf{N}$$

Step 3: Relating $f_i$ to the Sequence $c_i$

From previous questions, we know that the sequence $c_i$ can be expressed as:

$$c_i=\mathbf{L}{\mathbf{M}}^{i-1}\mathbf{N}$$

This is exactly the form we found for the Taylor series coefficients $f_i$. Therefore:

$$f_i=c_i$$

Conclusion

The coefficients of the Taylor series expansion of $f(x)$ correspond directly to the terms of the sequence $c_i$. Specifically:

$$f(x)=c_1+c_{2}x+c_3{x}^2+\dots$$

This result confirms that the Taylor series coefficients $f_i$ are identical to the sequence elements $c_i$, completing the solution.
