Why is it required that a recursion be bounded?
For example given $U_n = aU_{n-1} + c$ where $a$ and $c$ are constants. Why is it necessary that you specify that $n>1$ in your response.

Where did the requirement come from ? – Shailesh Feb 19 '17 at 12:29

Probably because in the book you are using they treat sequences starting at 1, then the relation can only be true for $n>1$, otherwise on the rhs you'll get $U_0$. Just a matter of notation. – Smurf Feb 19 '17 at 13:01
