Feb 5, 2021 at 18:31 comment added Max Alekseyev @BrendanMcKay: In the context of the corresponding ODEs (cf. my answer), this would be equivalent to transforming the system of two first-order ODEs to a single second-order ODE by substitution as pointed out by Alexey.

Feb 4, 2021 at 2:23 comment added Brendan McKay The first equation can be solved for $b_n$, then that value can be substituted into the second equation. This gives a recurrence involving only $\{a_n\}$ with coefficients rational in $n$. I assume there is a theory about such recurrences.
Feb 3, 2021 at 19:55 comment added Iosif Pinelis @KungYao : I think it could be helpful for some MO users to see the details of what you mentioned in your latter comment.

Feb 3, 2021 at 17:24 comment added Kung Yao @IosifPinelis I do, this comes from the matching conditions of coefficients in an ODE and numerically that ODE has a solution (for certain choices of $\lambda$ at least.) In particular, when $\lambda$ is the third root of unity.
Feb 3, 2021 at 17:19 comment added Iosif Pinelis Do you have reasons to believe that such initial conditions exist?
Feb 3, 2021 at 17:11 comment added Kung Yao @AntoineLabelle thanks, is implemented now.

Feb 3, 2021 at 2:10 comment added Antoine Labelle As $|\lambda|=1$ doesn't $\lambda^*=\lambda^{-1}$?
