As the [[Fibonacci sequence]] expands to the [[Fibonacci n-step number sequences]]; We similarly expand the [[Padovan sequence]] to form these Padovan n-step number sequences.
The Fibonacci-like sequences can be defined like this:
For n == 2:
start: 1, 1
Recurrence: R(n, x) = R(n, x-1) + R(n, x-2); for n == 2
For n == N:
start: First N terms of R(N-1, x)
Recurrence: R(N, x) = sum(R(N, x-1) + R(N, x-2) + ... R(N, x-N))
For this task we similarly define terms of the first 2..n-step Padovan sequences as:
For n == 2:
start: 1, 1, 1
Recurrence: R(n, x) = R(n, x-2) + R(n, x-3); for n == 2
For n == N:
start: First N + 1 terms of R(N-1, x)
Recurrence: R(N, x) = sum(R(N, x-2) + R(N, x-3) + ... R(N, x-N-1))
The initial values of the sequences are:
