How to find explicit solution for recursive sequences with nonlinear terms?
Are there any general known methodologies or algorithms to derive an explicit equation for a nonlinear sequence? As an example, I am struggling to find an explicit expression for the sequence below:
$a_n=frac{sqrt{a_{n-1}^3+c_0}-c_1}{a_{n-1}-c_2}-a_{n-1}-c_3$
Considering $c_i$ as integer constant parameters, Is it possible to write this as an explicit expression like $a_n=f(a_0, n)$?
My ultimate intention, however, is to find a way so that I could calculate $n$ for any given two consecutive values in the sequence let's say $a_n$ and $a_{n-1}$. Is such thing possible with known math methodologies?
