How do I avoid using for loops in the following problem?

B=[b1,b2,..,bn], C=[c1,c2,...,cn] , and D=[d1,d2,...,dn]|are known. A scalar |A(0) is also known. I need to calculate A(1)...A(n) using the following iteration: A(i)=max{ci,A(i-1)+bi}+di,i=1,...,n. Is there any method or function I can use to get A(1)...A(n) without using a for loop? Thank you in advance!

迭代类问题通常都不能向量化，因为循环之间存在依赖关系。
