Abstract:

We define multiperiodic infinite recursions and show that for such a recursion there is a finite linear recursion, the finite core, which gives almost the same type of recursion except for a different offset. Moreover, if we add the sequences produced by all multiperiodic infinite recursions with a given finite core, we almost obtain a multiple of the sequence associated with the finite core.
