How to Set Precision for an RSOLVE Problem
The following code was working fine -- now it produces errors. I originally built this in ver 13.1 and I'm now running ver 14. I think I'm getting machine precision errors after k=11 that were not ...

How to fix parameter locally for iterating recursion equations
The following is a simplified version of a more detailed problem.
I have two coupled recursion equations of two variables, x and y. One equation also depends on a parameter, c:

RecurrenceTable vs For loop : they do not give the same results. Why?
I have a second-order recurrence equation that I want to plot.
I've used two different methods.
The first uses RecurrenceTable, the second uses a traditional ...

Most efficient way of defining the following sets for every step $n$
For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, how do we compute sets $A_n$ and $B_n$ below:
Let $A_1=[0,2/3)$. Let $B_1=(2/3,1]$.
If $A_n$ is a union of intervals, then for each interval cut out the
middle $1/2^{n+1}$ ...

RSolve does not evaluate this recursion with two boundary conditions
I am using RSolve to solve for a function defined recursively, with two boundary conditions:
First boundary condition describes the relationship between $f(1)$ and $f(0)$
Second boundary condition ...

Can Mathematica simplify an ordinary differential equation (ODE) by assuming a power series solution and obtain the recurrence relation?
I have an ordinary differential equation and want to solve it using power series as ψ[x_] = Sum[Subscript[a, n] x^n, {n, 0, ∞}] to obtain the recurrence relation ...
