I'll try to do search_def("recur"), then.

That's not what I am looking for. No data are given. Given is some recursion formula; what we want to know is a corresponding closed formula. Example: The recursion x_0=1 and x_(n+1) := f(x_n) = 2*x_n should result in the closed formula x_n = 2^n. I was just wondering if Sage could do such deductions more or less automatically (and: how).
