... The initial condition is necessary to ensure a uniquely defined sequence. The example above gives the sequence of odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, ... . However, if the initial condition was modified to x1 = 2 or Start = 2, the recursive function would give the sequence of even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, ... . Unli ...
