COMMENTS

Greene discusses the whole family of sequences defined by a rule of the form a(n) = (Sum_{i=1..k} c_i a(i))/ (Sum_{i=1..k} c_i) if (Sum_{i=1..k} c_i) divides (Sum_{i=1..k} c_i a(i)), a(n) = (Sum_{i=1..k} c_i a(i)) if not, where k and the c_i are nonnegative integers and a(0), ..., a(k-1) are specified initial terms. Many further examples of such sequences could be added to the OEIS!
