Separating 2 or More Recurrence Relations

Revision en1, by fakeac, 2017-02-28 21:06:50
Let's say we have 2 recurrence relations -
summation(a[i]*f[i] for i=1 to n1)+summation(b[i]*g[i] for i =1 to n2) = 0 --------> Equation 1
summation(c[i]*f[i] for i=1 to n3)+summation(d[i]*g[i] for i =1 to n4) = 0 --------> Equation 2
.
.
.
.
.
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Equation m
WHERE a[i], b[i], c[i] AND d[i] are constants.

In what cases is this above system of recurrence relations separable?
I want to express: f[i] in terms of only f terms and g[i] in terms of only g terms.
Is there a method to do it? If not, what are some of the specific cases under which this is doable?

I know of 1 such method when:
f[i]=a*f[i-1]+b*g[i-2] --------------------------------------------------Equation A
g[i]=c*f[i-5]+d*g[i-4] --------------------------------------------------Equation B
-> g[i-2]=(f[i]-a*f[i-1])/b -------------------------------------------- by rearranging A
-> f[i-5]=(g[i]-d*g[i-4])/c -------------------------------------------- by rearranging B
Thus, separated.

Any general method?
Thanks in advance.
