    The author gives basic properties for linear recursive sequences \(\{u_n(a_1, a_2,\ldots, a_n)\}\) of the form \(u_n+a_1u_{n-1}+\cdots+a_mu_{n-m}\) \((n=0, \pm 1, \pm 2,\ldots)\), \(u_{1-m}=\cdots=u_{-1}=0\), \(u_0=1\). The author also gives a formula for powers of matrices as NEWLINE\[NEWLINE A^n=\sum_{r=0}^{m-1}\left(\sum_{s=r}^{m-1}a_{s-r}u_{n-s}\right)A^r, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(A\) is an \(m\times m\) matrix with characteristic polynomial \(x^m+a_1x^{m-1}+\cdots+a_m\).
