In this talk, we consider Stern’s diatomic sequence, the number of non-zero elements in some generalized Pascal’s triangle and the number of unbordered factors in the Thue-Morse sequence as running examples. All these sequences can be defined recursively and lead to the concept of so-called qq-recursive sequences. Here qq is an integer and at least 22, and qq-recursive sequences are sequences which satisfy a specific type of recurrence relation: Roughly speaking, every subsequence whose indices run through a residue class modulo qMq^M is a linear combination of subsequences where for each of these subsequences, the indices run through a residue class modulo qmq^m for some m<Mm < M.
It turns out that this property is quite natural and many combinatorial sequences are in fact qq-recursive. We will see that qq-recursive sequences are related to qq-regular sequences and a qq-linear representation of a sequence can be computed easily. Our main focus is the asymptotic behavior of the summatory functions of qq-recursive sequences. Beside general results, we present a precise asymptotic analysis of our three examples. For the first two sequences, our analysis even leads to precise formulae without error terms.
