We consider the sequence $x = (x_n)_{n \geqslant 0}$ defined by $$x_0 = 1, \quad x_1 = 1, \quad x_2 = 1, \quad x_3 = 0, \quad \text{and} \quad \forall n \in \mathbb{N}, x_{n+4} = x_{n+3} - 2x_{n+1}$$
We decide to modify only the value of $x_0$, by setting this time $x_0 = \frac{1}{2}$.
With this modification, quickly redo the study of questions II.C.2 and II.C.3.
