TI-84 Plus CE: Complex Recurring Sequences

TI-84 Plus CE:  Complex Recurring Sequences

The program CMPXSEQ generates a matrix table for the complex recurring series:

C = (P + B * Q) / (1 + A)

where:
P and Q are complex constants
A = z_0
B = z_1
C = z_2

Restated, this recursion series becomes:

z_2 = (P + z_1* Q) / (1 + z_0)

In its current operating system (5.4.0), the TI-84 Plus CE's recurring sequence graphing mode cannot accept complex numbers.   Therefore a program is required.  Furthermore, matrices on the TI-84 Plus CE do not handle complex numbers.   It is required to break the complex numbers into parts.   For completeness I added both the rectangular and the polar parts of complex numbers:  real part, imaginary part, radius, and angle (dependent on angle mode).

Results are stored in matrix E.  ^T is the transpose function. 

Examples

Tables generated using the LibreOffice Numbers desktop app and results verified with the TI-84 Plus CE. 

Example 1:
P = 1
Q = i
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Example 2:
P = -i
Q = 1
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Example 3:
P = 1-i
Q = 1+i
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Have a great Sunday and week,

Eddie
