that's an AR(1) with a constant added each time so you could use arima.sim and add the constant in afterwards. but I don't know how that fast that is.
I started to check if there was a relation cumprod wise but I didn't get far. z[4] = a[4]*a[3]*a[2] + a[4]*a[3] + a[4]*b[3] + b[4] for z[5] you multiply above by a[5] and add in b[5] but I don't see it being useful.
