  "abstract": "This paper investigates Lyapunov exponents and asymptotic growth phenomena for a class of random Horadam-type recurrences constrained by quadratic manifold geometries. For a fixed structural parameter $k>0$, we introduce the \\emph{random $k$-Horadam recurrence}, defined by the initial values $G_{0,k}=0, G_{1,k}=1$ and the non-deterministic relation $G_{n,k}=\\alpha_{n,k}G_{n-1,k}+\\beta_{n,k}G_{n-2,k}$ for $n\\ge2$, where the random companion coefficients are constrained to the \\emph{$k$-Constrained Sum-Product} ($k$-CSP) variety satisfying $\\alpha_{n,k}+\\beta_{n,k}=k$ and $\\alpha_{n,k}\\beta_{n,k}=-k$. Stochasticity is driven by an i.i.d.\\ sign process selecting, at each discrete time step, one of the two admissible algebraic branches. This formulation induces a random matrix cocycle in $GL_2(\\mathbb{R})$ supported on a discrete non-commutative manifold. Using Kingman’s subadditive ergodic theorem embedded in a projective normalization framework, we establish the almost sure existence of the top Lyapunov exponent, $\\lambda_k$. Crucially, by establishing the non-compactness and strong irreducibility of the normalized semigroup for $k \\ge 2$, we characterize the top Lyapunov exponent $\\lambda_k$ and derive strict, non-trivial analytical bounds satisfying $\\frac{1}{2}\\log(k) < \\lambda_k < \\log\\delta_k$. Here, $\\delta_k = \\frac{k+\\sqrt{k^2+4k}}{2}$ is the positive root of $t^2 - kt - k = 0$, the characteristic equation governing the algebraic structure of the coefficients $\\alpha_{n,k}$ and $\\beta_{n,k}$. To complement the structural analysis, we establish the upper bound using the Joint Spectral Radius and the Berger-Wang theorem, while the lower bound is rigorously derived via the expectation of a two-step product norm. Furthermore, under appropriate log-integrability conditions, we analyze the structural stability of the system under both additive and multiplicative perturbations. Employing weak convergence criteria for random measures, we prove that the perturbed exponents vary continuously and converge to the unperturbed attractor in the small-noise limit. We also examine a singular, degenerate boundary regime where the multi-dimensional non-commutativity collapses, freezing the coefficient $\\beta_{n,k}$ to a constant parameter $a\\in(0,1]$. This reduction isolates a scalar multiplicative process governed by a deterministic functional envelope $k(a) = \\frac{a^2}{a+1}$. We evaluate this scalar system via the Strong Law of Large Numbers and derive explicit functional and integrated two-sided bounds.",
