i use the 'explicit' option in various solvers, but never solve(). Thanks for the very detailed response.

Thanks, this is along the lines of what I was looking for!

Yes. However, I guess I should've been clearer on my question. I wanted to know, in general, if Maple can find limiting values of sequences defined recursively. What if I didn't know in advance the existence of a limit? Could Maple provide any insight?

It is possible to change the color of the shaded region using the regionoptions=[color=your_color] option. 

I am aware of solutions similar to the ones you've mentioned, and I've found them to be very useful. I am wondering, though, why are those the only options? For such a fundamental problem, shouldn't Maple at least attempt to provide a solution to someone who might not be able to (or want to) write their own procedure? I am fine writing my own procedure to solve some specific problem. Not everyone is.

Thanks for your comments!

The problem is that 16.01 has been superceded by 16.02. As far as I can tell, 16.01 is no longer available via Maplesoft's update page.

I was able to reinstall 16.00 (which fixes the issue), but now I'm at a loss as to how go about getting 16.01. Any ideas?

I'm (almost) too embarassed to say I wasn't using the same number of frames in both animations. I'm glad you mentioned frames.
