Models with Geometric Growth
14.1 Introduction
This chapter presents an introduction to computational models in which the data
follow a pattern of geometric growth. In such models, the data exhibit growth in
such a way that in equal intervals of time, the data increase by an equal percentage
or factor.
The difference and functional equations in models with geometric growth are
explained; their use in mathematical modeling is illustrated with a few examples.
Several computational models implemented with C and the basic lib library are pre-
sented and discussed.
14.2 Basic Concepts
The data in the sequence represent some relevant property of
