Say we have a sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$. \par
|

The \textit{generating function} of this sequence is defined as follows:
|
||||
\begin{equation*}
|
||||
A(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + a_3x+3 + ...
|
||||
A(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + a_3x^3 + ...
|
||||
\end{equation*}
|
||||
|
||||
Under some circumstances, this sum does not converge, and thus $A(x)$ is undefined. \par

\textit{Partial fraction decomposition} is an algebreic technique that works as follows: \par

If $p(x)$ is a polynomial and $a$ and $b$ are constants,

\begin{equation*}
