Examining the sequence

I’m analyzing a sequence with specific conditions: $(x_n), x_0 = 0, x_3$ is a positive integer, and $x_{n+1}$ is defined by a recurrence relation.

Evaluating sequence options

I'm analyzing whether integer terms can be efficiently minimized by adjusting $x_1$, given its potential as a free parameter. This involves examining its impact on the recurrence relation.

Searching for simplification

I’m reworking the recurrence with $\alpha = \sqrt[3]{2}$ to make solving easier and possibly find a closed-form expression or factorization for the characteristic polynomial.

Testing roots

I’m checking if $\alpha = \sqrt[3]{2}$ or $\alpha^2$ works as roots for the polynomial by substituting these values and checking if the polynomial evaluates to zero.

Revisiting the strategy

It dawns on me that perhaps I'm overcomplicating it. I should examine a solution like $x_n = c \alpha^n$ to see if $\alpha$ fits the characteristic equation of the homogeneous part.

Piecing together

I’m noting that $\alpha$ isn't a root of the characteristic polynomial. Part of me is considering expressing $x_n$ in terms of boundary conditions and initial terms to simplify the recurrence relation.

Expressing terms

I’m curious about expressing $x_3$ using $x_1$ and $\alpha$, assuming $x_0=0$ and $x_2=\alpha x_1$, to understand the impact on integer values.

Clarifying integer constraints

I’m mapping out that for $x_3$ to be a positive integer, $a$ must satisfy $a > 0$ and $a(\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha})$ must be an integer, which I’ll define as $k$.

Crafting rationality

OK, let me see. Setting $c$ as a rational multiple of the reciprocal of $\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}$ ensures $c \times (\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha})$ is an integer.

Formulating the sequence

Working out $x_4$ with $x_3=k$, $x_2=\alpha a$, and $x_1=a$. This approach might hint at any patterns of forced integers in the sequence.

Revisiting patterns

Considering a new sequence defined by $k$, I aim to identify any emerging patterns in terms like periodic structures involving $\alpha$, possibly forcing integers at specific terms.

Analyzing linear recurrences

I'm mapping out the standard approach for linear recurrences, focusing on finding roots of the characteristic polynomial and determining conditions for integer $x_3$. Progressing through the calculation process.

Testing integer patterns

I'm checking if integer $x_3$ leads to integer $x_{3m}$ by calculating $x_6$ using $x_3, x_2, x_1$ and examining $x_4, x_5$ with $x_1$.

Expressing sequences

I'm mapping out how $x_4$ and $x_5$ can be expressed as integer multiples of $k$, and then expressing $x_6$ in terms of these to check if it too is an integer multiple of $k$.

Assessing integer conditions

I'm working through whether $g_1 + g_2 + g_3$ is an integer. If it is, then $x_6$ is an integer multiple of $k$, and thus an integer. Progressing towards a solution.

Breaking down the terms

Starting with $g1 = \frac{f5}{\alpha^2}$, I’m recalculating each term to ensure consistency and accuracy in expressing $g1$. This helps validate the integer condition for $x_6$.

Clarifying g1's terms

I’m making sure the terms of $g1$ are accurate, including $\alpha$ and $A$ terms. This helps in validating if $g1$ is an integer.

I’m reworking $H$ by multiplying both sides by $\alpha$ to refine $[7 + 10\alpha^3] / [4\alpha(\alpha^2 + 1/\alpha)]$ and simplify the expression further.

Confirming integer status

By transforming $H$, I’ve confirmed that the sum of $g1 + g2 + g3$ equals 5. This ensures $x_6$ is an integer and specifically an integer multiple of 5.

Linking patterns

OK, let me see. If $x_6$ is an integer multiple of 5, can $x_9$ follow a similar pattern with $k$? This might indicate $x_9$ as another integer multiple of $k$.

I’m merging everything into a single fraction. This approach reveals a more concise form, streamlining the expression, and making it easier to identify the sequence pattern.

Breaking down terms

Interestingly enough, simplifying each segment with the same denominator reveals clearer forms for $\alpha^2$, $\alpha$, and constants. This progression is crucial for understanding the sequence's pattern.

Mastering the sequence

I’m pulling the numerator and denominator together into a cleaner form. This setup simplifies the sum and reveals the sequence's pattern, which I can analyze further.

Breaking it down

After simplifying, $x_7$ turns out to be $41 / (3 \alpha^2)$. This means $x_7$ isn’t an integer for a generic $k$, unless $k$ is set to 0.

Spotting integer trends

Piecing together the sequence, it seems multiples of 3 are consistently integers. This hints that $x_9$ might be $k$. Let me break this down further.

Crafting a clearer denominator

OK, so I’m breaking down the expression by multiplying the denominator by $\alpha$ to simplify. This approach ton simplifies the $S9$.

Breaking down possibilities

OK, let me see. I’m thinking through how to explain $\alpha \times A$ as 3. Carefully going through each step ensures a clear and accurate foundation.

Piecing it together

I simplified $\frac{7}{8 \alpha A}$ to $\frac{7}{24}$. Combining this with $\frac{605}{24}$ led to $S9 = \frac{51}{2}$, a rational fraction.

Ensuring integer flexibility

I’m piecing together the constraints. Ensuring $k$ isn’t tied to an integer means $x_9$ stays non-integer. This keeps the integer count manageable. Let's see how.

Analyzing the sequence's behavior

I’m piecing together how the coefficients for multiples of 3 unfold. Specifically, $x_{12}$ exhibits a linear recurrence relation, decoding the pattern further.

Mapping out $x_9$ and $x_{12}$

OK, let me see: $x_9$ and $x_{12}$ involve $k$ and rational coefficients. Each term in the sequence builds upon this foundation.

I’m analyzing if $x_{12}$ is tied to $x_3$ through a matrix method, examining simplified linear sequences, and considering their expression in terms of predecessors and equations.

Piecing together integers

I’m working through $x_3$ and mapping out how $T$ and $T^3$ anchor subsequent sequence elements, determining integer constraints for elements like $x_6$.

Spotting patterns

Mapping out the powers of $T$, I’m thinking about how $T^3$ and $T^6$ might yield integer results, while $T^9$ and $T^{12}$ may not.

Mapping sequences

I’m curious about the integer sequences tied to $x_3$, $x_6$, and $x_9$. Problem suggests they correlate through a recurrence relation involving $\alpha$. Exploring pattern solutions.

Mapping sequence links

Continuing to unveil $x_{10}$ as a mix of past terms, with coefficients tied to $\alpha$. Intrigued to see how $k$ persists in the sequence.

Tracking integer outcomes

I’m piecing together $S10$, $S11$, and $S12$, expressions nested in $k$ and $\alpha$. If $S12$ hits an integer, $x_{12}$ does too.

Wondering about guessing

I'm guessing $x_{12}$ could be an integer. Given the spots with integers, it seems plausible that it might take an integer value.

Assessing integer patterns

Noticing three certain integer terms so far, but others like $x_9$ and $x_{12}$ aren't confirmed. I'm working on identifying any remaining potential integer terms.

Evaluating integer patterns

Interestingly, the sequence relies on linear combinations of previous terms. If any term isn't integer, the next one isn't either. So, $x_0=0$, $x_3$, $x_6$ are likely guaranteed integers.

Analyzing sequence trends

OK, let’s dig into the sequence pattern. With odd $k$, no integers unravel beyond $x_6$. The minimal integer count is clear: three terms.

Confirming progress

OK, so the minimal number of integer terms seems to be three: $x_0=0$, $x_3=1$, and $x_6=5$. No clear pattern for subsequent terms yet.
