type(expr, 'ratseq'(n))

Parameters

expr

-

expression for the nth term in a sequence

n

-

name, index variable of the sequence

Description

• 

Determines if the sequence whose nth term is expr has a rational generating function. Such sequences are constructed from polynomials in n and constants to a linear power of n using the operations addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
