Here's one way.
n = 15;
x0 = 3;
inc = 0.1;
x = ones(1,n-1)*(1+inc);
x = cumprod([x0 x])
There are probably simpler ways with a bit of math. You could do it with a simple exponential if you just calculate the right parameter.
x2 = 0:n-1;
x2 = x0*exp(log(1+inc)*x2)
Whichever one of these three options is fastest depends on the vector length and version/environment.
