Abstract

Let A = (A(i,j))i=0,j=-∞∞,∞ be a double sequence over a finite field F = GF(q) satisfying a linear recurrence with constant coefficients, with at most finitely many nonzero elements on each row. Given a nonzero element g of F, we show how to obtain an explicit formula for the number of g's in the first qn rows of A. We also characterize the cases when the density of 0's is 1.
