Hi guys, I'm new on recursion Equation and find it hard to read them, it's confusing me .. may please anyone explain to me how should I read this equation ? much appreciate if you elaborate in simple words ..

here's the photo of the equation: (two photos are down, the other one is the range of the equation that works with)


thanks alot

Not knowing what the variables represent I think it says S(j,k), the current sample
= the prior sample, S(j-1,t) + the value of A at the current sample. But the "max"
tells me it wants to compare the computation against some other value and take
the max of that for S(j,k).....Not a mathematician so take this with a grain of salt.

but how we do max on specific number? I mean Max(constant) = constant itself , where do we do the max? on what..?

The max isn’t taken on a specific number, so you don’t need to understand how you do max on a single number.

It’s taken over the set of numbers, where t varies from 0 to k. How t is varied is not specified. Is it a discrete or continuous variable? Usually, the maximum and/or minimum of a function occurs when it’s derivative is 0.

So, to read the function, you evaluate the derivative dS(j,t)/dk = 0, where 0≤t≤k
