The Behavior of a Three-Term Hofstadter-Like Recurrence with Linear Initial Conditions

Nathan Fox

In this paper, we study the three-term nested recurrence relation $B (n) = B (n - B (n - 1)) + B (n - B (n - 2)) + B (n - B (n - 3))$ subject to initial conditions where the first $N$ terms are the integer…
