While most users may want to rather use the function find_simple_recurrence when looking for recurrence relations among rational numbers, the current function may still be useful when some post-processing has to be done.

If the returned vector has a length 1, then the returned value is always the list [0], which means that no relation has been found. While the functions is intended to be used with rational numbers, it should work for other kinds of real numbers except for some cases involving quadratic numbers; for that reason it should be used with some caution when the argument is not a list of rational numbers.

While forgetting to use a list in the case of a single type may seem to work most of the time as in: types='ogf' this (convenient) syntax may lead to unexpected extra results in some cases. Discarding a type when calling the function does not mean that the type will not be present in the returned dictionary; it only means that no extra computation will be performed for that type, but the function may still add it in the result when it can be easily converted from another type. Two generating functions (lgdogf and lgdegf) are not even computed if the initial term of the sequence is 0; it may be useful in that case to try again after having removed the leading zeros.

It tries to guess a formula from a given sequence of rational numbers. Explanation =========== In order to speed up the process, the 'all' variable is set to False by default, stopping the computation as some results are returned during an iteration; the variable can be set to True if more iterations are needed (other formulas may be found; however they may be equivalent to the first ones). Another option is the 'evaluate' variable (default is True); setting it to False will leave the involved products unevaluated. By default, the number of iterations is set to 2 but a greater value (up to len(l)-1) can be specified with the optional 'niter' variable. More and more convoluted results are found when the order of the iteration gets higher: * first iteration returns polynomial or rational functions; * second iteration returns products of rising factorials and their inverses; * third iteration returns products of products of rising factorials and their inverses; * etc. The returned formulas contain symbols i0, i1, i2, ... where the main variables is i0 (and auxiliary variables are i1, i2, ...). A list of other symbols can be provided in the 'variables' option; the length of the least should be the value of 'niter' (more is acceptable but only the first symbols will be used); in this case, the main variable will be the first symbol in the list.
