Parameters ========== expr : Expr SymPy expression for the ``n-th`` term of the sequence n : Symbol, optional The index of the sequence, an integer that tends to positive infinity. If None, inferred from the expression unless it has multiple symbols. trials: int, optional The algorithm is highly recursive. ``trials`` is a safeguard from infinite recursion in case the limit is not easily computed by the algorithm. Try increasing ``trials`` if the algorithm returns ``None``.
