How to find the generating function and the closed form for the generating form

8.2k Views Asked by At

I'm trying to find the generating function and the closed form for the generating form for this sequence:

$0,1,-2,4,-8,16,-32,64...$

I've tried the following:

I think it's an index shift so that's why the generating function is: $a_n= $?

What about the closed form? Can you please tell how I solve this, and not only the result.

The generating function is $$ g(x)=0+1\cdot x-2x^2+4x^3-8x^4+16x^5-\ldots. $$ Observe that each coefficient starting with the coefficient of $x^2$ is $-2$ times the coefficient of the previous term. This suggests the idea of multiplying $g(x)$ by $-2x$ and subtracting the result from $g(x).$ If you do this, you will find that all terms cancel but one. So you have $g(x)-(-2xg(x))$ equals the leftover term. You should then be able to solve for $g(x)$ algebraically.
