The superposition method, as the name implies, is shaped like
A[n]-a[n- 1] =f(n) find a [n]
Where f(n) is a typical arithmetic or proportional sequence, or it is relatively easy to find S[n].
for instance ...
A [n] = 4n+a [n- 1], a 1 = 1, find the general term.
therefore
a[n]-a[n- 1]=4n
a[n- 1]-a[n-2]= 4(n- 1)
a[n-2]-a[n-3]=4(n-2)
......
a[2]-a[ 1]=8
Add all the above n- 1 expressions (note that it is n- 1 expression, not n! )
a[n]-a[ 1]= 4n+4[n- 1]+...+8
a[n]- 1 = 8(n- 1)+(n- 1)(n-2)* 4/2
a[n]=8n-8 + 2(n? -3n +2)+ 1
a[n]=2n? +2n -3
PS 1: There are other ways to find a[n] in this question, because it is a formula in the form of a[n]=ka[n- 1]+f(n), and the answer can be obtained through construction.
PS2: If a[n]/a[n- 1]=f(n), the accumulation method can be obtained by analogy! I won't explain it here.
