I have two summation formulae \begin{align*} s(n)=\sum_{p=0}^{n}\binom{n}{p}\frac{(\sqrt{2})^p k^{n-p}}{\mathrm{i}^{p}} \end{align*} and \begin{align*} s(n+2)=\sum_{p=0}^{n+2}\binom{n+2}{p}\frac{(\sqrt{2})^p k^{n+2-p}}{\mathrm{i}^{p}} \end{align*} where $\mathrm{i}$ is unit imaginary number. How can we write $s(n+2)$ in terms of $ s(n)$?

    Is there anything special about the i that looks different?2017-01-30

    $s(n+2)=s(n)+\text{thing inside the sum}(n+2)+\text{thing inside the sum}(n+1)$2017-01-30
