It is known that linear recurrences with constant coefficients can be computed via powers in $\mathbb{Z}[x]/f(x)$. We believe that this generalizes to quotients of multivariate polynomial rings. Let $f_1(x_1,..,x_m),f_2(x_1,..,x_m)...f_k(x_1,...,x_m)$. be polynomials with integer coefficients. Define the quotient $K=\mathbb{Q}[x_1,...,x_m]/(f_1,...f_k)$. Let the [term order](https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/polynomial_rings/sage/rings/polynomial/term_order.html) be `lexicographic` (for an answer your can chose another order). Working over $K$, let $t(n)=(\sum_{i=1}^m x_i)^n$. $t(n)$ is group satisfying $t(n+m)=t(n) t(m)$. In general, if $k=m$ then $t(n)$ is of bounded degree and it is [efficiently computable](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/462043/rings-with-many-pairs-of-zero-divisors). Define $a(n)$ to be the coefficient of $x_1$ in $t(n)$. >Q1 When $a(n)$ satisfy linear recurrence with constant rational coefficients? Very limited experimental data suggests that the probability is about 1/2.
