To clarify, I summarized key concepts from the book \"Algorithms and Complexity\" by Herbert S. Wilf, focusing on the definitions and distinctions between algorithms and their complexities.\n\nHere\u2019s a breakdown of the thought process and sources used to formulate the response:\n\n1. **Understanding Algorithms**: \n - An algorithm is defined as a method for solving a class of problems on a computer. This is supported by the context: \"An algorithm is a method for solving a class of problems on a computer.\"\n\n2. **Complexity of Algorithms**: \n - Complexity refers to the cost of using an algorithm, typically measured in running time or storage. The context states: \"The complexity of an algorithm is the cost, measured in running time, or storage...\"\n\n3. **Types of Problems**: \n - The distinction between \"easy\" and \"hard\" problems is crucial. Problems that can be solved in polynomial time are considered easy, while those requiring exponential time are hard. This is highlighted in the context: \"A computation that is guaranteed to take at most \\( c n^3 \\) time for input of size \\( n \\) will be thought of as 'easy' computation.\"\n\n4. **Examples of Algorithms**: \n - The context provides examples such as matrix inversion and the tiling problem to illustrate easy and hard problems. For instance, matrix inversion can be done in \\( O(n^3) \\) time, while the tiling problem is known to be hard.\n\n5. **Complexity Analysis**: \n - The response also touches on how to analyze the complexity of algorithms, referencing big O notation and the importance of input size in determining complexity.\n\n6. **Follow-up Questions**: \n - I offered specific areas of interest for further exploration, such as different types of algorithms, complexity analysis methods, and examples of algorithms, to guide the user in their inquiry.\n\nIf you have a specific aspect of algorithms and complexity you would like to explore further, please let me know!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "give 500 words lorem ipsum" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "" }, { "role": "user", "content": "give 500 words lorem ipsum" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

This book has grown out of the senior course as I have been teaching it recently. It has also been tried out on a large class of computer science and mathematics majors, including seniors and graduate students, with good results.\n\nSelection by the instructor of topics of interest will be very important, because normally I've found that I can't cover anywhere near all of this material in a semester. A reasonable choice for a first try might be to begin with Chapter 2 (recursive algorithms) which contains lots of motivation. Then, as new ideas are needed in Chapter 2, one might delve into the appropriate sections of Chapter 1 to get the concepts and techniques well in hand. After Chapter 2, Chapter 4, on number theory, discusses material that is extremely attractive, and surprisingly pure and applicable at the same time. Chapter 5 would be next, since the foundations would then all be in place. Finally, material from Chapter 3, which is rather independent of the rest of the book, but is strongly connected to combinatorial algorithms in general, might be studied as time permits.\n\nThroughout the book, there are opportunities to ask students to write programs and get them running. These are not mentioned explicitly, with a few exceptions, but will be obvious when encountered. Students should all have the experience of writing, debugging, and using a program that is nontrivially recursive, for example. The concept of recursion is subtle and powerful, and is helped a lot by hands-on practice. Any of the algorithms of Chapter 2 would be suitable for this purpose. The recursive graph algorithms are particularly recommended since they are usually quite foreign to students\u2019 previous experience and therefore have great learning value.\n\nIn addition to the exercises that appear in this book, student assignments might consist of writing occasional programs, as well as delivering reports in class on assigned readings. The latter might be found among the references cited in the bibliographies in each chapter.\n\nI am indebted first of all to the students on whom I worked out these ideas, and to a number of colleagues for their helpful advice and friendly criticism. Among the latter I will mention Richard Brault, Daniel Kleitman, Albert Nijenhuis, Robert Tarjan, and Alan Tucker. For the no-doubt-numerous shortcomings that remain, I accept full responsibility.\n\nThis book was typeset in TeX. To the extent that it\u2019s a delight to look at, thank TeX. For the deficiencies in its appearance, thank my limitations as a typesetter. It was, however, a pleasure for me to have had the chance to typeset my own book. My thanks to the Computer Science department of the University of Pennsylvania, and particularly to Aravind Joshi, for generously allowing me the use of TeX facilities.\n\nHerbert S. Wilf\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 5\n\nContext: # Chapter 0: What This Book Is About\n\n## 0.1 Background\n\nAn algorithm is a method for solving a class of problems on a computer. The complexity of an algorithm is the cost, measured in running time, or storage, or whatever units are relevant, of using the algorithm to solve one of those problems.\n\nThis book is about algorithms and complexity, and so it is about methods for solving problems on computers and the costs (usually the running time) of using those methods.\n\nComputing takes time. Some problems take a very long time, others can be done quickly. Some problems seem to take a long time, and then someone discovers a faster way to do them (a \u2018faster algorithm\u2019). The study of the amount of computational effort that is needed in order to perform certain kinds of computations is the study of computational complexity.\n\nNaturally, we would expect that a computing problem for which millions of bits of input data are required would probably take longer than another problem that needs only a few items of input. So the time complexity of a calculation is measured by expressing the running time of the calculation as a function of some measure of the amount of data that is needed to describe the problem to the computer.\n\nFor instance, think about this statement: \u201cI just bought a matrix inversion program, and it can invert an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix in just \\( 1.2n^3 \\) minutes.\u201d We see here a typical description of the complexity of a certain algorithm. The running time of the program is being given as a function of the size of the input matrix.\n\nA faster program for the same job might run in \\( 0.8n^3 \\) minutes for an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix. If someone were to make a really important discovery (see section 2.4), then maybe we could actually lower the exponent, instead of merely shaving the multiplicative constant. Thus, a program that would invert an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix in only \\( n^2 \\log n \\) minutes would represent a striking improvement of the state of the art.\n\nFor the purposes of this book, a computation that is guaranteed to take at most \\( c n^3 \\) time for input of size \\( n \\) will be thought of as 'easy' computation. One that needs at most \\( n^{10} \\) time is also easy. If a certain calculation on an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix were to require \\( 2^n \\) minutes, then that would be a 'hard' problem. Naturally some of the computations that we are calling 'easy' may take a very long time to run, but still, from our present point of view the important distinction to maintain will be the polynomial time guarantee or lack of it.\n\nThe general rule is that if the running time is not a polynomial function of the amount of input data, then the calculation is an easy one; otherwise it\u2019s hard.\n\nMany problems in computer science are known to be easy. To convince someone that a problem is easy, it is enough to describe a fast method for solving that problem. To convince someone that a problem is hard is hard, because you will have to prove to them that it is impossible to find a fast way of doing the calculation. It will not be enough to point to a particular algorithm and to lament its slowness. After all, that algorithm may be slow, but maybe there\u2019s a faster way.\n\nMatrix inversion is easy. The familiar Gaussian elimination method can invert an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix in time of at most \\( O(n^3) \\).\n\nTo give an example of a hard computational problem we have to go far afield. One interesting one is called the 'tiling problem'. Suppose we are given infinitely many identical floor tiles, each shaped like a regular hexagon. Then we can tile the whole plane with them, i.e., we can cover the plane with no empty spaces left over. This can also be done if the tiles are identical rectangles, but not if they are regular hexagons.\n\nIn Fig. 0.1 we show a tiling of the plane by identical rectangles, and in Fig. 0.2 is a tiling by regular hexagons.\n\n---\n\n1.

That doesn\u2019t mean that the question is hard for every polygon. Hard problems can have easy instances. What has been proved is that no single method exists that can guarantee that it will decide this question for every polygon.\n\nThe fact that a computational problem is hard doesn\u2019t mean that every instance of it has to be hard. The problem is hard because we cannot devise an algorithm for which we can give a guarantee of fast performance for all instances.\n\nNotice that the amount of input data to the computer in this example is quite small. All we need to input is the shape of the basic polygon. Yet not only is it impossible to devise a fast algorithm for this problem, it has been proved impossible to devise any algorithm at all that is guaranteed to terminate with a Yes/No answer after finitely many steps. That\u2019s really hard!\n\n## 0.2 Hard vs. Easy Problems\n\nLet\u2019s take a moment more to say in another way exactly what we mean by an \u2018easy\u2019 computation vs. a \u2018hard\u2019 one.\n\nThink of an algorithm as being a little box that can solve a certain class of computational problems. Into the box goes a description of a particular problem in that class and then, after a certain amount of time, or of computational effort, the answer appears.\n\nA **fast** algorithm is one that carries a guarantee of fast performance. Here are some examples.\n\n**Example 1.** It is guaranteed that if the input problem is described with B bits of data, then an answer will be output after at most \\( 6B^3 \\) minutes.\n\n**Example 2.** It is guaranteed that every problem that can be input with B bits of data will be solved in at most \\( 0.1B^{1.5} \\) seconds.\n\nA performance guarantee, like the two above, is sometimes called a \u2018worst-case complexity estimate,\u2019 and it\u2019s easy to see why. If we have an algorithm that will, for example, sort any given sequence of numbers into ascending order of size (see section 2.21) it may find that some sequences are easier to sort than others. For instance, the sequence 1, 2, 7, 11, 10, 15, 20 is nearly in order already, so our algorithm might, if it takes advantage of the near-order, sort it very rapidly. Other sequences might be a lot harder for it to handle, and might therefore take more time.\n\nMath. Soc., Providence, RI \n2\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Image Analysis Details\n\n---\n\n#### 1.

Let \\(n\\) be a given integer. We want to find out if \\(n\\) is prime. The method that we choose is the following. For each integer \\(m = 2, 3, \\ldots, \\sqrt{n}\\)| we ask if \\(m\\) divides (evenly into) \\(n\\). If all of the answers are \u2018No,\u2019 then we declare \\( n \\) to be a prime number, else it is composite.\nFirst, we look at the computational complexity of this algorithm. That means that we are going to find out how much work is involved in doing the test. For a given integer \\( n \\) the work that we have to do can be measured in units of divisions of a whole number by another whole number. In those units, we obviously will do about \\(\\sqrt{n}\\) units of work.\nIt seems as though this is a tractable problem, because, after all, \\(\\sqrt{n}\\) is of polynomial growth in \\( n \\). For instance, we do less than \\( n \\) units of work, and that\u2019s certainly a polynomial in \\( n \\), isn\u2019t it? So, according to our definition of fast and slow algorithms, the distinction was made on the basis of polynomial vs. faster-than-polynomial growth of the work done with the problem size, and therefore this problem must be easy. Right? Well, no not really.\nReferences to the distinction between fast and slow methods will show that we have to measure the amount of work done as a function of the number of bits of input to the problem. In this example, \\( n \\) is not the number of bits of input. For instance, if \\( n = 59 \\), we don\u2019t need 59 bits to describe it, but only 6. In general, the number of binary digits in the bit string of an integer \\( n \\) is close to \\(\\log_2 n\\).\nSo in the problem of this example, testing the primality of a given integer \\( n \\), the length of the input bit string \\( B \\) is about \\(\\log_2n\\). Seen in this light, the calculation suddenly seems very long. A string consisting of mere \\(\\log_2 n\\) 0\u2019s and 1\u2019s has caused our mighty computer to do about \\(\\sqrt{n}\\) units of work.\nIf we express the amount of work done as a function of \\( B \\), we find that the complexity of this calculation is approximately \\(2^{B/2}\\), and that grows much faster than any polynomial function of \\( B \\).\nTherefore, the method that we have just discussed for testing the primality of a given integer is slow. See Chapter 4 for further discussions of this problem. At the present time no one has found a fast way to test for primality, nor has anyone proved that there isn\u2019t a fast way. Primality testing belongs to the (well-populated) class of seemingly, but not provably, intractable problems.\nIn this book we will deal with some easy problems and some seemingly hard ones. It\u2019s the \u2018seemingly\u2019 that makes things very interesting. These are problems for which no one has found a fast computer algorithm,\n\n---\n\n### Scene and Activity Analysis:\n\n#### Described Scene and Activities:\n- The scene described in the image is a text-heavy document discussing computational problems, particularly focusing on the complexity and computational time of algorithms.\n- There are discussions of worst-case bounds, average case bounds, and the difference between fast and slow algorithms, followed by an example problem regarding the determination of whether a given integer is prime.\n\n#### Main Actors:\n- The main actors in the scene are algorithms and computational problems.\n- The text describes the actions of measuring computational complexity, evaluating polynomial vs. non-polynomial time, and testing algorithm efficiency.\n\n### Contextual Significance:\n\n#### Contribution to Overall Message:\n- This text excerpt appears to be from a textbook or academic paper focusing on computational complexity, likely aimed at explaining the difference between easy and hard problems in computer science.\n- The example provided (primality testing) is used to illustrate these concepts and highlight the challenges associated with algorithm efficiency.\n\n### Perspective and Composition:\n\n#### Perspective:\n- The perspective is that of a reader or student studying the material presented on the page.\n\n#### Composition:\n- The text is organized in a traditional scholarly format, with clear headings, paragraphs, and a structured presentation of concepts and examples.\n\n### Anomaly Detection:\n- No anomalies were detected in the image; the text appears to be consistent with a standard academic document discussing computational complexity.\n\n### Color Analysis:\n\n#### Color Composition:\n- The image consists entirely of black text on a white background.\n\n#### Dominant Colors:\n- The dominant colors are black and white.\n\n### Graph and Trend Analysis:\n- There are no graphs present in this image.\n\n### Diagram and Chart Analysis:\n- There are no diagrams or charts present in this image.\n\n### Metadata Analysis:\n- There is no visible metadata within the image.\n\n### Additional Aspects:\n\n#### Prozessbeschreibungen (Process Descriptions):\n- The described process is related to evaluating the computational complexity of algorithms, specifically mentioning worst-case and average-case scenarios and providing an example with testing for primality.\n\n#### Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations):\n- Type designations include polynomial-time algorithms and non-polynomial-time algorithms, as well as tractable and intractable problems.\n\n### Conclusion:\nThis image contains a detailed section of text from what appears to be a textbook or academic paper on computational complexity, focusing on the difference between easy and hard computational problems, with a specific example relating to primality testing.

I would have to pick out the worst possibility; otherwise the guarantee wouldn\u2019t be valid. It would assure me that if the input problem instance can be described by \\( B \\) bits, then an answer will appear after at most \\( 5B^2 \\) time units. Hence, a performance guarantee is equivalent to an estimation of the worst possible scenario: the longest possible calculation that might ensue if \\( B \\) were input to the program.\n\n### Worst-case bounds\n\nWorst-case bounds are the most common kind, but there are other kinds of bounds for running time. We might give an average case bound instead (see section 5.7). That wouldn\u2019t guarantee performance no worse than \\( \\varepsilon \\); it would state that if the performance is averaged over all possible input bit strings of \\( B \\) bits, then the average amount of computing time will be so-and-so (as a function of \\( B \\)).\n\nNow let\u2019s talk about the difference between easy and hard computational problems and between fast and slow algorithms.\n\nA warranty that would not guarantee \u2018fast\u2019 performance would contain some function of \\( B \\) that grows faster than any polynomial, like \\( 2^B \\), for instance, or like \\( n^{\\log n} \\), etc. It is the polynomial time vs. necessarily polynomial time guarantee that makes the difference between the easy and hard classes of problems, or between the fast and the slow algorithms.\n\nIt is highly desirable to work with algorithms such that we can give a performance guarantee for running time that is at most a polynomial function of the number of bits of input.\n\nAn algorithm is slow if, whatever polynomial \\( P \\) we think of, there exists arbitrary large values of \\( B \\), such that the input data strings of \\( B \\) bits, that cause the algorithm to do more than \\( P(B) \\) units of work.\n\nA computational problem is **intractable** if it can be proved that there is no fast algorithm for it.\n\n### Example 3\n\nHere is a familiar computational problem and a method, or algorithm, for solving it. Let\u2019s see if the method has a polynomial time guarantee or not.\n\nThe problem is this. Let \\( n \\) be a given integer. We want to find out if \\( n \\) is prime. The method that we choose is the following. For each integer \\( n = 2, 3, \\ldots, \\sqrt{n} \\) we ask if \\( n \\) divides (evenly into) \\( n \\). If all the answers are \u2018No,\u2019 then we declare \\( n \\) to be a prime number; else it is composite.\n\nIn this way, we look at the computational complexity of this algorithm. Therefore, we are going to find out how much work is involved in doing the test. For a given integer \\( n \\) that we have to do can be measured in units of divisions of a whole number by another whole number. In those units, we obviously will do about \\( \\sqrt{n} \\) units of work.\n\nIt seems as though this is a tractable problem, because, after all, \\( \\sqrt{n} \\) is of polynomial growth in \\( n \\). For instance, we do less than \\( n \\) units of work, and that\u2019s certainly a polynomial in \\( n \\), isn\u2019t it? So, according to our definition of fast and slow algorithms, this distinction was made on the basis of polynomial vs. faster-than-polynomial growth of the work done with the problem size, and therefore this problem must be easy. Right? Well, not really.\n\nReference to the distinction between fast and slow methods will show that we have to measure the amount of work done as a function of the number of bits of input to the problem. In this example, \\( n \\) is not the number of bits of input. For instance, if \\( n = 59 \\), we don\u2019t need 59 bits to describe it, but only 6. In general, the number of binary digits in the bit string of an integer \\( n \\) is close to \\( \\log_2 n \\).\n\nSo in the problem of this example, testing the primality of a given integer \\( n \\), the length of the input bit string \\( B \\) is about \\( 10 \\log_2 n \\). Seen in this light, the calculation suddenly seems very long, a string consisting of mere log \\( 0 \\)\u2019s and 1\u2019s has caused our mighty computer to do about \\( \\sqrt{n} \\) units of work.\n\nIf we express the amount of work done as a function of \\( B \\), we find that the complexity of this calculation is approximately \\( 2^{B/2} \\), and that grows much faster than any polynomial function of \\( B \\).\n\nTherefore, note that we have just discussed for testing the primality of a given integer is slow. See Chapter 6 for further discussion of this problem. At the present time no one has found a fast way to test for primality, nor has anyone proved that there isn\u2019t a fast way. Primality testing belongs to the (well-publicized) class of seemingly, but not provably, intractable problems.\n\nIn this book, we will deal with some easy problems and some seemingly hard ones. It\u2019s the \u2018seemingly\u2019 that makes things very interesting. These are problems for which no one has found a fast computer algorithm.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Localization and Attribution\n\n- The image consists of a single page of a text document.\n- This can be referred to as **Image 1**.\n\n### Text Analysis\n\n#### Extracted Text\nThe main section of the image contains printed text. Below is the complete text extracted from the image:\n\n---\n\n**0.2 Hard vs. easy problems**\n\nSo in some problems whose input bit string has \\(B\\) bits the algorithm might operate in time \\(6B\\), and on others its input need, say, \\(120\\log B\\) time units, and for still other problem instances of length \\(B\\) bits the algorithm might need \\(5B^2\\) time units to get the job done.\nWell then, what would the warranty card say? It would have to pick out the worst possibility, otherwise the guarantee wouldn\u2019t be valid. It would assure a user that if the input problem instance can be described by \\(B\\) bits, then an answer will appear after at most \\(5B^2\\) time units. Hence a performance guarantee is equivalent to an estimation of the worst possible scenario: the longest possible calculation that might ensue if \\(B\\) bits are input to the program.\nWorst-case bounds are the most common kind, but there are other kinds of bounds for running time. We might give an average case bound instead (see section 5.7). That wouldn\u2019t guarantee performance no worse than so-and-so; it would state that if the performance is averaged over all possible input bit strings of \\(B\\) bits, then the average amount of computing time will be so-and-so (as a function of \\(B\\)).\nNow let\u2019s talk about the difference between easy and hard computational problems and between fast and slow algorithms.\nA warranty that would not guarantee \u2018fast\u2019 performance would contain some function of \\(B\\) that grows faster than any polynomial. Like \\(B^B\\), for instance, or like \\(2^{2^B}\\), etc. It is the polynomial time vs. not necessarily polynomial time guarantee that makes the difference between the easy and the hard classes of problems, or between the fast and the slow algorithms.\nIt is highly desirable to work with algorithms such that we can give a performance guarantee for running time that is at most a polynomial \\(P(B)\\) of the number of bits of input.\nAn algorithm is slow if, whatever polynomial \\( P \\) we think of, there exist arbitrarily large values of \\( B \\), and input data strings of \\( B \\) bits, that cause the algorithm to do more than \\( P(B) \\) units of work.\nA computational problem is trackable if there is a fast algorithm that will find all its instances of it.\nA computational problem is intractable if it can be proved that there is no fast algorithm for it.\n\n**Example 3.**\nHere is a familiar computational problem and a method, or algorithm, for solving it.

It should be added that the entire area is vigorously being researched because of the attractiveness and the importance of the many unanswered questions that remain.\n\nThus, even though we just don't know many things that we'd like to know in this field, it isn't for lack of trying!\n\n## 0.3 Preview\n\nChapter 1 contains some of the mathematical background that will be needed for our study of algorithms. It is not intended that reading this book or using it as a text in a course must necessarily begin with Chapter 1. It\u2019s probably a better idea to plunge into Chapter 2 directly, and then when particular skills or concepts are needed, to read the relevant portions of Chapter 1. Otherwise the definitions and ideas that are in that chapter may seem to be unmotivated, when in fact motivation in great quantity resides in the later chapters of the book.\n\nChapter 2 deals with recursive algorithms and the analysis of their complexities.\n\nChapter 3 is about a problem that seems as though it might be hard, but turns out to be easy, namely the network flow problem. Thanks to quite recent research, there are fast algorithms for network flow problems, and they have many important applications.\n\nIn Chapter 4 we study algorithms in one of the oldest branches of mathematics, the theory of numbers. Remarkably, the connections between this ancient subject and the most modern research in computer methods are very strong.\n\nIn Chapter 5 we will see that there is a large family of problems, including a number of very important computational questions, that are bound together by a good deal of structural unity. We don\u2019t know if they\u2019re hard or easy. We do know that we haven\u2019t found a fast way to do them yet, and most people suspect that they\u2019re hard. We also know that if any one of these problems is hard, then they all are, and if any one of them is easy, then they all are.\n\nWe hope that, having found out something about what people know and what people don\u2019t know, the reader will have enjoyed the trip through this subject and may be interested in helping to find out a little more.\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 9\n\nContext: # Chapter 1: Mathematical Preliminaries\n\n## 1.1 Orders of Magnitude\n\nIn this section, we're going to discuss the rates of growth of different functions and to introduce the five symbols of asymptotics that are used to describe those rates of growth. In the context of algorithms, the reason for this discussion is that we need a good language for the purpose of comparing the speeds with which different algorithms do the same job, or the amounts of memory that they use, or whatever other measure of the complexity of the algorithm we happen to be using.\n\nSuppose we have a method of inverting square nonsingular matrices. How might we measure its speed? Most commonly, we would say something like: \"If the matrix is n \u00d7 n, then the method will run in time 16.8n\u00b3.\" Then we would know that if a 100 \u00d7 100 matrix can be inverted, with this method, in 1 minute of computer time, then a 200 \u00d7 200 matrix would require 2\u00b3 = 8 times as long, or about 8 minutes. The constant 16.8 wasn't used at all in this example; only the fact that the labor grows as the third power of the matrix size was relevant.\n\nHence, we need a language that will allow us to say that the computing time, as a function of n, grows \"in the order of n\u00b3\", or not as fast as n\u00b2, or at least as fast as n\u00d7log n, etc.\n\nThe key symbols that are used in the language of comparing the rates of growth of functions are the following five: \n- `o` (read as \"little o\" of)\n- `O` (read as \"big O\" of)\n- `\u0398` (read as \"theta of\")\n- `\u03c9` (read as \"little omega of\")\n- `\u03a9` (read as \"big omega of\")\n\nNow let's explain what each of them means.\n\nLet \\( f(n) \\) and \\( g(n) \\) be two functions of \\( n \\). Each of the five symbols above is intended to compare the rapidity of growth of \\( f \\) and \\( g \\). If we say that \\( f(n) = o(g(n)) \\), then informally we are saying that \\( f \\) grows more slowly than \\( g \\) does when \\( n \\) is very large. Formally, we state the following:\n\n**Definition.** We say that \\( f(n) = o(g(n)) \\) if \\( \\lim_{n \\to \\infty} f(n)/g(n) \\) exists and is equal to 0.\n\nHere are some examples:\n1. \\( x^2 = o(x^3) \\)\n2. \\( \\sin x = o(x) \\)\n3. \\( 1.4\\log n = o(n/2 + 7 \\cos x) \\)\n4. \\( 1/n = o(1) \\) \n5. \\( 23\\log^2 n = o(n^2) \\)\n\nWe can see from these few examples that sometimes it might be easy to prove that a relationship is true and sometimes it might be rather difficult. Example (4), for instance, requires the use of L'H\u00f4pital's rule.\n\nIf we leave two computer programs, and if one of them inverts a n \u00d7 n matrices in time \\( c n^3 \\) and the other does so in time \\( o(n^3) \\), then we know that for all sufficiently large values of \\( n \\), the performance guarantee of the second program will be superior to that of the first program. Of course, the first program might run faster on small matrices, say up to size 10,000 x 10,000. If a certain program runs in time \\( n^{2.8} \\) and someone were to produce another program for the same problem that runs in \\( n^{2} \\log n \\), then that second program would be an improvement, at least in the theoretical sense. The reason for the \"theoretical\" qualification, once more, is that the second program would be known to be superior only if \\( n \\) were sufficiently large.\n\nThe second symbol of the asymptotics vocabulary is the `O`. When we say that \\( f(n) = O(g(n)) \\), we mean, informally, that \\( f \\) certainly doesn't grow at a faster rate than \\( g \\). It might grow at the same rate or it might grow more slowly; both are possibilities that the \"O\" permits. Formally, we have the set:\n\n**Definition.** We say that \\( f(n) = O(g(n)) \\) if there exists \\( c > 0 \\) such that \\( |f(x)| \\leq c|g(x)| \\) for \\( x \\) large enough.\n\nThe qualifier \\( n \\to \\infty \\) will usually be omitted, since it will be understood that we will most often be interested in large values of the variables that are involved.\n\nFor example, it is certainly true that \\( n = O(n) \\), but even more can be said, namely that \\( n = O(1) \\). Also \\( 2x^2 + 7x = O(x^2) \\) and \\( 1/(1 + x^2) = O(1) \\). Now we can sharpen the last example by saying that \\( 1/(1 + x^2) = o(1) \\).

It often happens that a \\( O \\) result is sufficient for an application. However, that may not be the case, and we may need the more precise \\( o \\) estimate.\n\n## Definition\n\nWe say that \\( f(x) = o(g(x)) \\) if there are constants \\( c_0 > 0, c_1 > 0 \\) such that for all \\( x > x_0 \\) it is true that \\( c_1 g(x) < f(x) < c_0 g(x) \\).\n\nWe might then say that \\( f \\) and \\( g \\) are of the same rate of growth; only the multiplicative constants are uncertain. Some examples of the \\( o \\) at work are:\n\n\\[\n(x + 1)^2 = O(3x^2)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n(x^2 + 5x + 7)/(5x^3 + 7x + 2) = \\Theta(1/x)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\sqrt{3} \\sqrt{x} = \\Theta(x^{1/2})\n\\]\n\n\\[\n(1 + 3/x)^{1/2} = O(1).\n\\]\n\nThe \\( \\Theta \\) is much more precise than either the \\( O \\) or the \\( o \\). If we know that \\( f(x) = \\Theta(x^2) \\), then we know that \\( f(x)/g(x) \\) stays between two nonzero constants for all sufficiently large values of \\( x \\). The rate of growth of \\( f \\) is established: it grows quadratically with \\( x \\).\n\nThe notation for the symbols of asymptotics is the \\( \\sim \\). It tells us that not only do \\( f \\) and \\( g \\) grow at the same rate, but that in fact \\( f/g \\) approaches \\( 1 \\) as \\( x \\to \\infty \\).\n\n## Definition\n\nWe say that \\( f(x) \\sim g(x) \\) if \\( \\lim_{x \\to \\infty} f(x)/g(x) = 1 \\).\n\nHere are some examples.\n\n\\[\nx^2 + x^2\n\\]\n\n\\[\n(3x + 1)^2 = \\Theta(x^2)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\sin(1/x) \\sim 1/x\n\\]\n\n\\[\n(2x^3 + 5x + 7)/(x^2 + 4) \\sim 2x\n\\]\n\n\\[\ny^2 + 10y + c \\sim x^2\n\\]\n\nObserve the importance of getting the multiplicative constants exactly right when the \\( \\sim \\) symbol is used. While it is true that \\( 2x^2 = \\Theta(x^2) \\), it is not true that \\( 2x^2 \\sim x^2 \\). It\u2019s, by the way, also true that \\( 2x^2 = O(17x^2) \\), but to make such an assertion is to lose said style since no more information is conveyed with the \\( \\sim \\) without it.\n\nThe last symbol in the asymptotic set that we will need is the \\( \\Omega \\). In a useful light, \\( f(x) = \\Omega(g(x)) \\) means that it is true that \\( f(x) \\geq c g(x) \\). In the study of algorithms for computing, the \\( \\Omega \\) is used when we want to express the thought that a certain calculation takes at least \\(\\text{sometime}\\) to do. For instance, we can multiply together two \\( n \\times n \\) matrices in time \\( O(n^{2.81}) \\). Later on in this book we will see how to multiply two matrices even faster, in time \\( O(n^2) \\). People know of even faster ways to do that job, but one thing that we can be sure of is this: nobody will ever be able to write a matrix multiplication program that will multiply pairs \\( n \\times n \\) matrices with fewer than \\( n^3 \\) computational steps, because whatever program we write will have to look at the input data, and there are \\( 2n^2 \\) entries in the input matrices.\n\nThus, a computing time of \\( c n^2 \\) is certainly a lower bound on the speed of any possible general matrix multiplication program. We might say, therefore, that the problem of multiplying two \\( n \\times n \\) matrices requires \\( \\Omega(n^3) \\) time.\n\nThe exact definition of the \\( \\Omega \\) that was given above is actually rather delicate. We stated it as the negation of something. Can we rephrase it as a positive assertion? Yes, with a bit of work (see exercises 6 and 7 below). Since if \\( f(x) = o(g(x)) \\), the symbol \\( f = \\Omega(g) \\) means that \\( f \\) does not approach zero. We assume that \\( g \\) takes positive values only, which is usually the case in practice, then to say that \\( f/g \\) does approach \\( 0 \\) is to say that there exists \\( x_0 \\) and an infinite sequence of values of \\( x \\), tending to \\( \\infty \\), such that \\( |f|/|g| < c \\). So we don\u2019t have to show that \\( |f|/|g| > c \\) for all large \\( x \\), but only for infinitely many large \\( x \\).\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Localization and Attribution:\n\n- **Image Identification:**\n - The image is a single page and will be designated as **Image 1**.\n\n### Text Analysis:\n\n- **Image 1: Detected Text:**\n\n```\nChapter 1: Mathematical Preliminaries\nsharper because not only does it tell us that the function is bounded when x is large, we learn that the function actually approaches 0 as x \u2192 \u221e.\nThis is typical of the relationship between O and o. It often happens that a \u2018O\u2019 result is sufficient for an application. However, that may not be the case, and we may need the more precise \u2018o\u2019 estimate.\n\nThe third symbol of the language of asymptotics is the \u2018\u0398\u2019:\nDefinition. We say that f(x) = \u0398(g(x)) if there are constants c1 > 0, c2 > 0, and x0 \u2265 0, such that for all x \u2265 x0 it is true that c1g(x) \u2264 f(x) \u2264 c2g(x).\n\nWe might then say that f and g are of the same rate of growth, only the multiplicative constants are uncertain. Some examples of the \u2018\u0398\u2019 at work are\n (x + 1)^2 = \u0398(x^2)\n (x^2 + 5x + 7)/ (5x^2 + 7x + 2) = \u0398(1/x)\n \u221a3 + \u221ax + 2 = \u0398(x^1/2)\n (1 + 3)/x^2 = \u0398(1).\n\nThe \u2018\u0398\u2019 is much more precise than either the \u2018O\u2019 or the \u2018o.\u2019 If we know that f(x) = \u0398(x^2), then we know that f(x)/x^2 stays between two nonzero constants for all sufficiently large values of x. The rate of growth of f is established: it grows quadratically with x.\n\nThe next phrase of the symbols of asymptotics is the \u2018\u223c.\u2019 It tells us that not only do f and g grow at the same rate, but that in fact f/g approaches 1 as x \u2192 \u221e.\nDefinition.

While it is true that 2x^2 = \u0398(x^2), it is not true that 2x^2 \u223c x^2. It is, by the way, also true that 2x^2 = \u0398(17x^2), but to make such an assertion is to be sad style since no more information is conveyed with the \u201817\u2032 than without it.\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 11\n\nContext: # 1.1 Orders of magnitude\n\n**Definition.** We say that \\( f(x) = \\Omega(g(x)) \\) if there is an \\( \\epsilon > 0 \\) and a sequence \\( x_1, x_2, \\ldots \\) such that \\( \\forall j: f(x_j) > \\epsilon g(x_j) \\).\n\nNow let's introduce a hierarchy of functions according to their rates of growth when \\( x \\) is large. Among commonly occurring functions of \\( x \\) that grow without bound as \\( x \\to \\infty \\), perhaps the slowest growing ones are functions like \\( \\log x \\) or maybe \\( (\\log x)^3 \\) or things of that sort. It is certainly true that \\( \\log \\log x \\to \\infty \\), but it takes its time about it. When \\( x = 1{,}000{,}000 \\), for example, \\( \\log_2 x \\) has the value 19.3.\n\nJust a bit faster growing than the \u2018snails\u2019 above is \\( x^{\\frac{1}{10}} \\). After all, for \\( x = 1{,}000 \\), we have \\( 1{,}000^{\\frac{1}{10}} \\approx 2.5 \\). If we had a computer algorithm that could do \\( n \\) things in time \\( \\log n \\) and someone found another method that could do the same job in time \\( O(\\log \\log n) \\), then the second method, other things being equal, would indeed be an improvement, but it might have to be extremely large before you would notice the improvement.\n\nNext on the scale of rapidity of growth we might mention the powers of \\( x \\). For instance, think about \\( x^{0.1} \\). It grows faster than \\( \\log x \\), although you wouldn\u2019t believe it if you tried to substitute a few values of \\( x \\) and to compare the answers (see exercise 1 at the end of this section).\n\n**How could we prove that \\( x^{0.1} \\) grows faster than \\( \\log x \\)?** By using L'H\u00f4pital's rule.\n\n**Example.** Consider the limit \\( \\lim_{x \\to \\infty} \\frac{x^{0.1}}{\\log x} \\) as \\( x \\to \\infty \\). As \\( x \\to \\infty \\) assumes the indeterminate form \\( \\infty/\\infty \\), and it is therefore a candidate for L'H\u00f4pital's rule, which tells us that if we want to find the limit then we can differentiate the numerator, differentiate the denominator, and try again to let \\( x \\to \\infty \\). If we do this, then instead of the original ratio, we find the ratio\n\n\\[\n\\frac{(-0.1)x^{-0.9}}{1/x} = -0.1x^{0.1}\n\\]\n\nwhich obviously grows without bound as \\( x \\to \\infty \\). Therefore the original ratio \\( \\frac{x^{0.1}}{\\log x} \\) also grows without bound. What we have proved, precisely, is that \\( x^{0.1} \\) grows faster than \\( \\log x \\).\n\nTo continue up the scale of rates of growth, we meet \\( x^2, x^3, x^{15} \\log^2 x \\), etc., and then encounter functions that grow faster than every fixed power of \\( x \\) just as \\( x^2 \\) grows faster than every fixed power of \\( x \\).\n\nConsider \\( e^{x^2} \\). Since this is the same as \\( e^{x \\cdot x} \\), it will obviously grow faster than \\( x^{1000} \\), in fact it will be larger than \\( x^{1000} \\) as soon as \\( x > 1000 \\), i.e., as soon as \\( x > e^{1000} \\) (don\u2019t hold your breath!).\n\nHence \\( e^{x^2} \\) is an example of a function that grows faster than every fixed power of \\( x \\). Another such example is \\( e^{\\sqrt{x}} \\).\n\n**Definition.** A function that grows faster than \\( x^n \\) for every constant \\( n \\), but grows slower than \\( e^c \\) for every constant \\( c \\) is said to be of moderately exponential growth if for every \\( \\epsilon > 0 \\) we have \\( f(x) = \\Omega(x^n) \\) and for every \\( c > 0 \\) we have \\( f(x) = O(e^c) \\).\n\nBeyond the range of moderately exponential growth are the functions that grow exponentially fast. Typical of such functions are \\( 10^{n} \\), \\( 2^{n^2} \\), and so forth. Formally, we have the:\n\n**Definition.** A function \\( f \\) is of exponential growth if there exists \\( c > 1 \\) such that \\( f(x) = \\Omega(c^x) \\) and there exists \\( d \\) such that \\( f(x) = O(d^x) \\).\n\nIf we truncate up a function of exponential growth with smaller functions then we will not change the fact that it is of exponential growth. The series \\( e^{x^2/(n^2 + 37)} \\) remains of exponential growth, because \\( e^{x^2} \\) is by itself, and it resists the efforts of the smaller functions to change its mind.\n\nBeyond the exponentially growing functions there are functions that grow as fast as you might please. Like \\( n! \\), for instance, which grows faster than \\( c^n \\) for every fixed constant \\( c \\) and like \\( 2^{n!} \\), which grows much faster than \\( n! \\). The growth ranges that are the most common to computer scientists are \u2018between\u2019 the very slowly, logarithmically growing functions and the functions that are of exponential growth. The reason is simple: if a computer algorithm requires more than an exponential amount of time to do its job, then it will probably not be used, or at any rate it will be used only in highly unusual circumstances. In this book, the algorithms that we will deal with fall in this range.\n\nNow we have discussed the various symmetries and asymptotes that are used to compare the rates of growth of pairs of functions, and we have dismissed the pecking order of rapidity of growth, so that we have a small catalogue of functions that grow slowly, medium-fast, fast, and super-fast. Next, let\u2019s look at the growth of sums that involve elementary functions, with a view toward discovering the rates at which the sums grow.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n**Text Analysis:**\n1. **Text Detection and Extraction:**\n - The page contains a significant amount of text discussing mathematical functions and their rates of growth.\n\n2. **Content Analysis and Significance:**\n - **Definitions and Explanations:**\n - The text defines the notation \\(f(x) = \\Omega(g(x))\\) for functions that grow without bound.\n - It discusses functions growing faster than linear, such as logarithmic, polynomial, and exponential functions.\n - Examples illustrate the concepts further using L'H\u00f4pital's rule to compare growth rates.\n - **Function Hierarchy:**\n - It introduces a hierarchy of functions according to their growth rates when \\(x \\to \\infty\\).\n - Examples include \\(\\log \\log x\\), \\(\\log x\\), \\(x^c\\), and various polynomial and exponential functions.\n - **Moderately Exponential and Exponential Growth:**\n - Definitions around moderately exponential growth (\\(f(x) = \\Omega(a^{(\\gamma x)}\\)))\n - Explanation involving exponential growth (\\(f(x) = \\Theta(e^{cx})\\)) and functions of faster growth beyond exponential.\n - **General Discussion:**\n - The importance of comparing growth rates is emphasized, particularly for understanding computational complexity.\n - Techniques such as L'H\u00f4pital's rule are presented for proving and understanding these contrasts in growth rates.\n\n**Localization and Attribution:**\n1. **Page Layout:**\n - Single page visual, holding multiple sections of text with definitions, explanations, and examples all centered around mathematical functions and growth rates.\n\n**Scene and Activity Analysis:**\n1. **Scene Description:**\n - The entire scene is text-based with mathematical formulas and theoretical explanations filling the content.\n - The activity involves explanations, definitions, and examples intended to educate readers on the rates of growth for functions in mathematical terms.

The general idea is that when one is faced with estimating the rates of growth of sums, then one should try to compare the sums with integrals because they\u2019re usually easier to deal with.\n\nLet a function \\( g(n) \\) be defined for nonnegative integer values of \\( n \\), and suppose that \\( g(n) \\) is nondecreasing. We want to estimate the growth of the sum\n\n\\[\nG(n) = \\sum_{j=1}^{n} g(j) \\quad (n = 1, 2, \\ldots)\n\\]\n\nConsider a diagram that looks exactly like Fig. 1.1.1 except that the curve that is shown there is now the curve \\( y = g(j) \\). The sum of the areas of the rectangles is exactly \\( G(n-1) \\), while the area under the curve between 1 and \\( n \\) is \\( \\int_{1}^{n} g(t)dt \\). Since the rectangles lie wholly under the curve, their combined areas cannot exceed the area under the curve, and we have the inequality\n\n\\[\nG(n - 1) \\leq \\int_{1}^{n} g(t) dt \\quad (n \\geq 1)\n\\]\n\nOn the other hand, if we consider Fig. 1.1.2, where the gap is once more the graph of \\( y = g(j) \\), the fact that the combined areas of the rectangles is now not less than the area under the curve yields the inequality\n\n\\[\nG(n) \\geq \\int_{1}^{n} g(t) dt \\quad (n \\geq 1)\n\\]\n\nIf we combine (1.5) and (1.6), we find that we have completed the proof of\n\n**Theorem 1.1.1.** Let \\( g(t) \\) be nondecreasing for nonnegative \\( t \\). Then\n\n\\[\n\\int_{1}^{n} g(t) dt \\leq \\sum_{j=1}^{n} g(j) \\leq \\int_{1}^{n+1} g(t) dt\n\\]\n\nThe above theorem is capable of producing quite satisfactory estimates with rather little labor, as the following example shows. \n\nLet \\( g(n) = \\log n \\) and substitute in (1.7). After doing the integrals, we obtain\n\n\\[\nn \\log n - n \\leq \\sum_{j=1}^{n} \\log j \\leq (n + 1) \\log(n + 1) - n\n\\]\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n**Analysis of the Visual Content**\n\n1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n - **Image 1**: There is a single image located at the top-center of the page.

For instance, if we write \\(1101\\), then we want an 8, a 4 and a 1, so this must be the decimal number 13. We will write\n\n\\( (13)_{10} = (1101)_2 \\)\n\nto mean that the number 13, in the base 10, is the same as the number 1101, in the base 2.\n\nIn the binary system (base 2) the only digits we will ever need are 0 and 1. What that means is that if we use only 0\u2019s and 1\u2019s then we can represent every number in exactly one way. The unique representation of every number is, after all, what we must expect and demand of any proposed system.\n\nLet\u2019s elaborate on this last point. If we were allowed to use more digits than just 0\u2019s and 1\u2019s then we would be able to represent the number \\( (13)_{10} \\) as a binary number in a whole lot of ways. For instance, we might make the mistake of allowing digits 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Then 13 would be representable as \\( 3 \\cdot 2^2 + 1 \\cdot 2^1 + 0 \\cdot 2^0 \\) etc.\n\nSo if we were to allow too many different digits, then numbers would be representable in more than one way as a string of digits.\n\nIf we were to allow too few different digits then we would find that some numbers have no representation at all. For instance, if we were to use the decimal system with only the digits 0, 1, ..., 9, then infinitely many numbers would not be able to be represented, so we had better keep the 9's.\n\nThe general proposition is this.\n\n## Theorem 1.2.1\nLet \\( b > 1 \\) be a positive integer (the \u2018base\u2019). Then every positive integer \\( n \\) can be written in one and only one way in the form\n\n\\[ n = d_k b^k + d_{k-1} b^{k-1} + d_{k-2} b^{k-2} + \\ldots \\]\n\nif the digits \\( d_0, d_1, \\ldots \\) lie in the range \\( 0 \\leq d_i < b - 1 \\) for all \\( i \\).\n\n**Remark:** The theorem says, for instance, that in the base 10 we need the digits 0, 1, 2, ..., 9; in the base 2 we need only 0 and 1, in the base 16 we need sixteen digits, etc.\n\n**Proof of the theorem:** If \\( b \\) is fixed, the proof is by induction on \\( n \\), the number being represented. Clearly, the number 1 can be represented in one and only one way with the available digits (why?). Suppose, inductively, that every integer \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, n - 1 \\) is uniquely representable. Now consider the integer \\( n \\). Define \\( n \\mod b \\). Then \\( d \\) is one of the permissible digits. By induction, the number \\( n - d \\) is uniquely representable, say\n\n\\[ n - d = \\frac{n - d}{b} \\]\n\nThen clearly,\n\n\\[ n = d + b \\cdot \\frac{n - d}{b} \\]\n\n\\[ = d + d_0 b + d_1 b^2 + d_2 b^3 + \\ldots \\]\n\nis a representation of \\( n \\) that uses only the allowed digits.\n\nFinally, suppose that \\( n \\) has some other representation in this form also. Then we would have\n\n\\[ n = a_0 + a_1 b + a_2 b^2 + \\ldots \\]\n\n\\[ = c_0 + c_1 b + c_2 b^2 + \\ldots \\]\n\nSince \\( a_0 \\) and \\( c_0 \\) are both equal to \\( n \\mod b \\), they are equal to each other. Hence the number \\( n' = (n - a_0)/b \\) has two different representations, which contradicts the inductive assumption, since we have assumed the truth of the result for all \\( n < n \\).\n\nThe bases \\( b \\) that are the most widely used are, aside from 10, 2 (\u2018binary system\u2019), 8 (\u2018octal system\u2019) and 16 (\u2018hexadecimal system\u2019).\n\nThe binary system is extremely simple because it uses only two digits.

It isn't even obvious that the formula (1.4.15) gives integer values for the \\( F_n \\). The reader should check that the formula indeed gives the first few \\( F_n \\) correctly.\n\nJust to exercise our newly acquired skills in asymptotics, let's observe that since \\( (1 + \\sqrt{5})/2 > 1 \\) and \\( |(1 - \\sqrt{5})/2| < 1 \\), it follows that when \\( n \\) is large we have:\n\n\\[\nF_n \\sim \\left( \\frac{(1 + \\sqrt{5})}{2} \\right)^{n+1} \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{5}}\n\\]\n\nThe process of looking for a solution in a certain form, namely in the form \\( \\alpha^n \\), is subject to the same kind of special treatment, in the case of repeated roots, that we find in differential equations. Corresponding to a double root of the associated quadratic equation \\( a^2 - \\alpha a + \\beta = 0 \\), we would find two independent solutions \\( \\alpha^n \\) and \\( n\\alpha^n \\), so the general solution would be in the form \\( \\alpha^n (c_1 + c_2 n) \\).\n\n## Example\n\nConsider the recurrence:\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} = 2x_n - x_{n-1} \\quad (n \\geq 1; \\, x_0 = 5; \\, x_1 = 5) \\tag{1.4.16}\n\\]\n\nIf we try a solution of the type \\( x_n = \\alpha^n \\), then we find that it satisfies the quadratic equation \\( a^2 - 2a + 1 = 0 \\). Hence the two roots are \\( a = 1 \\). The general solution is \\( x_n = c_1(\\alpha^n) + c_2(n\\alpha^n) \\). After inserting the given initial conditions, we find that:\n\n\\[\nx_0 = 1 = c_1; \\quad x_1 = 5 = c_1 + c_2 \n\\]\n\nIf we solve for \\( c_1 \\) and \\( c_2 \\), we obtain \\( c_1 = 1, c_2 = 4 \\), and therefore the complete solution of the recurrence (1.4.16) is given by:\n\n\\[\nx_n = 4n + 1\n\\]\n\nNow let's look at recurrent inequalities, like this one:\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} \\leq x_n + x_{n-1} + n^2 \\quad (n \\geq 1; \\, x_0 = 0; \\, x_1 = 0) \\tag{1.4.17}\n\\]\n\nThe question is, what restriction is placed on the growth of the sequence \\( \\{x_n\\} \\) by (1.4.17)?\n\nBy analogy with the case of difference equations with constant coefficients, the thing to try here is to set \\( x_n \\leq K \\cdot n^t \\). So suppose it is true that \\( x_n \\leq K n^t \\) for \\( n = 0, 1, 2, \\ldots, N \\). Then from (1.4.17) with \\( n = N \\), we find:\n\n\\[\nx_{N+1} \\leq K N^t + K N^{t-1} + N^2\n\\]\n\nLet \\( c \\) be the positive real root of the equation \\( \\alpha^2 - c = 1 \\) and suppose that \\( \\alpha > c \\). Then \\( \\alpha^2 > c + 1 \\); say, where \\( t > 0 \\). Hence:\n\n\\[\nx_{N+1} \\leq K N^{t-1}(1 + t) + N^2 = K n^{t-1} \\left( K n^{t-1} \\right) \\tag{1.4.18}\n\\]\n\nIn order to ensure that \\( x_{N+1} < K n^{t+1} \\), we need to fix \\( K < \\max_{n \\geq 2} \\left( \\frac{N^2}{N^{t-1}} \\right) \\). As long as we choose:\n\n\\[\nK < \\max_{n \\geq 2} \\left( \\frac{N^2}{N^{t-1}} \\right) \\tag{1.4.19}\n\\]\n\nIn which the right member is clearly finite, the inductive step will go through.\n\nThe conclusion is that (1.4.17) implies that for every fixed \\( t > 0 \\), \\( x_n = O(n^{t+\u03b5}) \\), where \\( \u03b5 = (1 + \\sqrt{5})/2 \\). The same argument applies to the general situation that is expressed in:\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

Then for every fixed \\( \\epsilon > 0 \\) we have \\( x_n = O(n^{c + \\epsilon}) \\).\n\n**Proof:** Fix \\( \\epsilon > 0 \\), and let \\( \\alpha = c + \\epsilon \\), where \\( c \\) is the root of the equation shown in the statement of the theorem. Since \\( \\alpha > c \\), if we let \n\n\\[\nt = \\alpha^{p+1} - b_0 \\alpha^p - \\ldots - b_{p-1}\n\\]\n\nthen \n\n\\[\nK = \\max \\left\\{ \\frac{|x_1|}{a_0}, \\frac{|x_2|}{a_1}, \\max_{n \\geq 2} \\frac{G(n)}{K(n)^{\\alpha - s}} \\right\\}\n\\]\n\nThen \\( K \\) is finite, and clearly \\( |x_j| \\leq K a^j \\) for \\( j \\leq p \\). We claim that \\( |x_n| \\leq K a^n \\) for all \\( n \\), which will complete the proof.\n\nIndeed, if the claim is true for \\( 0, 1, 2, \\ldots, n \\), then \n\n\\[\n|x_{n+1}| \\leq b_0 |x_n| + \\ldots + b_{p-1} |x_{n-p+1}| + G(n)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\leq K a^n \\left( b_0 K a^{n-1} + \\ldots + b_{p-1} K a^{n-p} \\right) + G(n)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= K a^n \\left( K a^{p-1} \\left( b_0 + \\ldots + b_{p-1} \\right) + G(n) \\right)\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= K a^{n+1} \\left( t K^{\\alpha - p} + G(n) \\right) \\leq K a^{n+1}\n\\]\n\n## Exercises for Section 1.4\n\n1.

Write out a complete proof of theorem 1.4.1.\n\n9. Show by an example that the conclusion of theorem 1.4.1 may be false if the phrase \u201cfor every fixed \\( \\varepsilon > 0 \\)\u201d were replaced by \u201cfor every fixed \\( \\varepsilon \\geq 0 \\) . . .\u201d\n\n10. In theorem 1.4.1, if we find the phrase \u201cthe positive real root of . . . \u201d Prove that this phrase is justified, in that the equation shown always has exactly one positive real root. Exactly what special properties of that equation did you use in your proof?\n\n# 1.5 Counting\nFor a given positive integer \\( n \\), consider the set \\( \\{ 1, 2, \\ldots, n \\} \\). We will denote this set by the symbol \\( [n] \\), and we want to discuss the number of subsets of various kinds that it has. Here is a list of all the subsets of \\( [n] \\): \\( \\emptyset, \\{1\\}, \\{2\\}, \\{1, 2\\} \\). There are \\( 2^n \\) subsets.\n\nWe claim that the set \\( [n] \\) has exactly \\( 2^n \\) subsets. To see why, notice that we can construct the subsets of \\( [n] \\) in the following way. Either choose, or don\u2019t choose, the element \\( 1 \\); then either choose, or don\u2019t choose, the element \\( 2 \\); etc., finally choosing, or not choosing, the element \\( n \\). Each of the \\( n \\) choices that you encountered could have been made in either of 2 ways. The totality of choices, therefore, might have been made in \\( 2^n \\) ways, so that is the number of subsets that are set of \\( n \\) objects has.\n\nNext, suppose we have \\( n \\) distinct objects, and we want to arrange them in a sequence. In how many ways can we do that? For the first object in our sequence we may choose any one of the \\( n \\) objects. The second element of the sequence can be any of the remaining \\( n - 1 \\) possible ways to make the first two decisions. Then there are \\( n - 2 \\) choices for the third element, and so we have \\( n(n - 1)(n - 2) \\cdots 2 \\cdot 1 = n! \\) ways to form the whole sequence.\n\nOne of the subsets of \\( [n] \\), how many have exactly \\( k \\) objects in them? The number of elements in a set is called its cardinality. The cardinality of a set \\( S \\) is denoted by \\( |S| \\), so for example, \\( |[6]| = 6 \\). A set of cardinality \\( k \\) is called a \\( k \\)-set, and a subset of cardinality \\( k \\) is naturally enough, a \\( k \\)-subset. The question is, for how many subsets of \\( [n] \\) is it true that \\( |S| = k \\)?\n\nWe can construct \\( k \\)-subsets \\( S \\) of \\( [n] \\) (written \\( S \\subseteq [n] \\)) as follows. Choose an element \\( a_1 \\) (in possible choices). Of the remaining \\( n - 1 \\) elements, choose one (in \\( n - 1 \\) possible choices), etc., until a sequence of \\( k \\) different elements have been chosen. Obviously there were \\( n(n - 1)(n - 2) \\cdots (n - k + 1) \\) ways in which you might have chosen that sequence, so the number of ways to choose an (ordered) sequence of \\( k \\) elements from \\( [n] \\) is \n\n\\[\nn(n - 1)(n - 2) \\cdots (n - k + 1) = \\frac{n!}{(n - k)!} \\quad (n \\geq 0, 0 \\leq k \\leq n).\n\\]\n\nBut there are more sequences of \\( k \\) elements than there are \\( k \\)-sets, because any particular \\( k \\)-subset will correspond to \\( k! \\) different ordered sequences, namely all possible rearrangements of the elements in the subset. Hence the number of \\( k \\)-subsets of \\( [n] \\) is equal to the number of \\( k \\)-sequences divided by \\( k! \\). In other words, there are exactly \\( \\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!} \\) \\( k \\)-subsets of a set of \\( n \\) objects.\n\nThe quantities \\( \\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!} \\) are the famous binomial coefficients, and they are denoted by \n\n\\[\n\\binom{n}{k} = \\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}, \\quad (n \\geq 0; 0 \\leq k \\leq n) \\tag{1.5.1}\n\\]\n\nSome of their special values are \n\n\\[\n\\binom{n}{0} = 1 \\quad (\\text{for } n \\geq 0);\n\\quad \\binom{n}{1} = n \\quad (\\text{for } n \\geq 0);\n\\quad \\binom{n}{2} = \\frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \\quad (\\text{for } n \\geq 2);\n\\quad \\binom{n}{n} = 1 \\quad (\\text{for } n \\geq 0).\n\\]\n\nIt is convenient to define \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\) to be \\( 0 \\) if \\( k < 0 \\) or if \\( k > n \\).\n\nWe can summarize the developments so far with\n```\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

We will denote this set by the symbol [n],\n and we want to discuss the number of subsets of various kinds that it has. Here is a list of all of the subsets\n of {2}, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}. There are 4 of them.\n \n We claim that the set [n] has exactly 2^n subsets.\n \n To see why, notice that we can construct the subsets of [n] in the following way. Either choose, or don\u2019t\n choose, the element \u20181\u2019; then either choose, or don\u2019t choose, the element \u20182\u2019; etc., finally choosing, or not\n choosing, the element \u2018n\u2019. Each of the n choices that you encountered could have been made in either 2 of\n ways. The totality of n choices, therefore, might have been made in 2^n different ways, so that is the number\n of subsets that a set of n objects has.\n \n Next, suppose we have n distinct objects, and we want to arrange them in a sequence. In how many\n ways can we do that? For the first object in our sequence we may choose any one of the n objects. The\n second element of the sequence can be any of the remaining n \u2212 1 objects, so there are n(n \u2212 1) possible\n ways to make these first two decisions. Then there are n \u2212 2 choices for the third element, and so we have\n n(n \u2212 1)(n \u2212 2) ways to arrange the first three elements of the sequence. It is no doubt clear now that there\n are exactly n(n \u2212 1)(n \u2212 2)\u2219\u2219\u22193\u22192\u22191 = n! ways to form the whole sequence.\n \n Of the n subsets of [n], how many have exactly k objects in them? The number of elements in a\n set is called its cardinality. The cardinality of a set S is denoted by |S|, so, for example, |{6}| = 6. A set\n whose cardinality is k is called a \u2018k-set\u2019, and a subset of cardinality k is, naturally enough, a \u2018k-subset\u2019. The\n question is, for how many subsets S of [n] is it true that |S| = k?\n \n We can construct k-subsets S of [n] (written S \u2e26 [n] \u2216) as follows. Choose an element a_1 (in possible\n choices). Of the remaining n \u2212 1 elements, choose one (in n \u2212 1 possible choices), etc., until a sequence of k\n different elements have been chosen. Obviously there were n(n \u2212 1)(n \u2212 2) \u2e26\u2e26\u2e26 (n \u2212 k + 1) ways in which we\n might have chosen that sequence, so the number of ways to choose an (ordered) sequence of k elements from \n [n] is\n \n n(n \u2212 1)(n \u2212 2) \u2219\u2219\u2219 (n \u2212 k + 1) = n!/(n \u2212 k)!\n \n But there are more sequences of k elements than there are k-subsets, because any particular k-subset S\n will correspond to k! different ordered sequences, namely all possible rearrangements of the elements of that\n subset. Hence the number of k-subsets of [n] is equal to the number of k-sequences divided by k!. In other\n words, there are exactly n!/[k!(n \u2212 k)!] k-subsets of a set of n objects.\n \n The quantities n!/[k!(n \u2212 k)!] are the famous binomial coefficients, and they are denoted by\n \n ( ) = n!/[k!(n \u2212 k)!] (n \u2265 0; 0 \u2264 k \u2264 n).\n \n Some of their special values are\n \n (n) = 1 ( \u2200n \u2265 0); (n) = n ( \u2200n \u2265 0);\n (k) = n(n \u2212 1)/2 ( \u2200n \u2265 0); (n) = 1 ( \u2200n \u2265 0). \n ( 0 ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( n )\n \n It is convenient to define (2) to be 0 if k < 0 or if k > n.\n We can summarize the developments so far with\n ```\n\n2. **Content Analysis:**\n - **Mathematical Tasks:** The text includes exercises (tasks 8, 9, and 10) asking the reader to provide mathematical proofs and to critique theorem revisions.\n - **Main Text:** The main body of text discusses mathematical counting principles, such as the number of subsets of a set, permutations, and binomial coefficients.\n - **Significance:** This text is instructional, aiming to teach the concepts of combinatorics, specifically counting subsets and calculating binomial coefficients.\n\n#### 6.

Indeed, the sum of all of them is \\(2^n\\), and the biggest one is \\(\\sim \\sqrt{\\frac{2}{\\pi n}}\\). When n is large, therefore, the largest coefficient contributes a fraction \\(\\sim \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{n}}\\) of the total. \n\nIf we think in terms of the subsets that these coefficients count, what we will see is that a large fraction of all of the subsets of an n-set have cardinality \\(\\frac{n}{2}\\); in fact \\(\\binom{n}{n/2}\\) of them do. This kind of probabilistic thinking can be very useful in the design and analysis of algorithms. If we are designing an algorithm that deals with subsets of \\([n]\\), for instance, we should recognize that a large percentage of the customers for that algorithm will have cardinalities near \\(n/2\\), and make every effort to see that the algorithm is fast for such subsets, even at the expense of possibly slowing it down on subsets whose cardinalities are very small or very large.\n\n## Exercises for section 1.5\n\n1.

To describe a particular graph we first say what its vertices are, and then we say how pairs of vertices are its edges. The set of vertices of a graph \\(G\\) is denoted by \\(V(G)\\), and its set of edges is \\(E(G)\\).\n\nIf \\(u\\) and \\(v\\) are vertices of a graph \\(G\\), and if \\((u,v)\\) is an edge of \\(G\\), then we say that vertices \\(u\\) and \\(v\\) are adjacent in \\(G\\).\n\nConsider the graph \\(G\\) whose vertex set is \\(\\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\\}\\) and whose edges are the set of pairs \\((1,2)\\), \\((2,3)\\), \\((4,5)\\). This is a graph of 5 vertices and 5 edges. A nice way to present a graph to an audience is to draw a picture of it, instead of just listing the pairs of vertices that are its edges. To draw a picture of a graph we would first make a point for each vertex, and then we would draw arcs between two vertices \\(u\\) and \\(v\\) if and only if \\((u,v)\\) is an edge of the graph we are talking about. The graph \\(G\\) of 5 vertices and 5 edges that is listed above can be drawn as shown in Fig. 1.6.1(a). It could also be drawn as shown in Fig. 1.6.1(b). They're both the same graph. Only the pictures are different, but the pictures aren't \"really\" the graph; the graph is the vertex list and the edge list. The pictures are helpful to us in visualizing and remembering the graph, but that's all.\n\nThe number of edges that contain (are incident with) a particular vertex \\(v\\) of a graph \\(G\\) is called the degree of that vertex, and is usually denoted by \\(p(v)\\). If we add up the degrees of every vertex of \\(G\\) we will have counted exactly two contributions from each edge of \\(G\\), one at each of its endpoints.

We will see how the recursive structure helps us to analyze the running time, or complexity, of the algorithms. We will also find that there is a bit of art involved in choosing the list of variables that a recursive procedure operates on. Sometimes the first list we think of doesn\u2019t work because the recursive call seems to need more detailed information than we have provided for it. So we try a larger list, and then perhaps it works, or maybe we need a still larger list ..., but more of this later.\n\n### Exercises for Section 2.1\n\n1. Write a recursive routine that will find the digits of a given integer n in the base b. There should be no visible loops in your program.\n\n## 2.2 Quicksort\n\nSuppose that we are given an array `x[1], ..., x[n]` of n numbers. We would like to rearrange these numbers as necessary so that they end up in nondecreasing order of size. This operation is called **sorting** the numbers.\n\nFor instance, if we are given `{9, 4, 7, 2, 1}`, then we want our program to output the sorted array `{1, 2, 4, 7, 9}`.\n\nThere are many methods of sorting, but we are going to concentrate on methods that rely on only two kinds of basic operations, called **comparisons** and **interchanges**. This means that our sorting routine is allowed to:\n\n- (a) pick up two numbers (\u2018keys\u2019) from the array, compare them, and decide which is larger.\n- (b) interchange the positions of two selected keys.\n\nHere is an example of a rather primitive sorting algorithm:\n1. (i) find, by successive comparisons, the smallest key\n2. (ii) interchange it with the first key\n3. (iii) find the second smallest key\n4. (iv) interchange it with the second key, etc.\n\nHere is a more formal algorithm that does the job above:\n\n```plaintext\nprocedure slowsort(X: array[1..n]);\n{sorts a given array into nondecreasing order}\nfor i = 1 to n - 1 do\n for j = i + 1 to n do\n if X[i] > X[j] then swap(X[i], X[j])\nend. slowsort\n```\n\nIf you were wondering why we called this method \u2018primitive\u2019, \u2018slowsort\u2019, and other pejorative names, the reason will be clearer after we look at its complexity.\n\nWhat is the cost of sorting n numbers by this method? We will look at two ways to measure that cost. First let\u2019s choose our unit of cost to be one comparison of two numbers, and then we will choose a different unit of cost, namely one interchange of position (\u2018swap\u2019) of two numbers.\n```\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 36\n\nContext: # Chapter 2: Recursive Algorithms\n\nHow many paired comparisons does the algorithm make? Reference to *provide dissort* shows that it makes one comparison for each value of \\( j = r+1, \\ldots, n \\) in the inner loop. This means that the total number of comparisons is\n\n\\[\nf(n) = \\sum_{r=1}^{n-1} \\sum_{j=r+1}^{n} 1 = \\sum_{r=1}^{n-1} (n - r) = (n - 1)n/2.\n\\]\n\nThe number of comparisons is \\(\\Theta(n^2)\\), which is quite a lot of comparisons for a sorting method to do. Not only that, but the method does that many comparisons regardless of the input array, i.e. its best case and worst case are equally bad.\n\nThe Quicksort method, which is the main object of study in this section, does a minimum of \\( c n \\log n \\) comparisons, but on the average it does far fewer, a neat \\( O(n \\log n) \\) comparisons. This economy is much appreciated by those who sort, because sorting applications can be immense and time-consuming. One popular sorting application is in alphabetizing lists of names. It is easy to imagine that some of those lists are very long, and that the replacement of \\( O(n^2) \\) by an average of \\( O(n \\log n) \\) comparisons is very welcome. An insurance company that wants to alphabetize its list of 5,000,000 policyholders will gratefully notice the difference between \\( n^2 = 25,000,000,000,000 \\) comparisons and \\( n \\approx 7,121,740 \\) comparisons.\n\nIf we choose as our unit of complexity the number of swaps of position, then the running time may depend strongly on the input array. In the \u2018slowest\u2019 method described above, some arrays will need no swaps at all while others might require the maximum number of \\( (n - 1)/2 \\) (which arrays need that many swaps?). If we average over all \\( n! \\) possible arrangements of the input data, assuming that the keys are distinct, then it is not hard to see that the average number of swaps that slowest needs is \\(\\Theta(n^2)\\).\n\nNow let\u2019s discuss Quicksort. In contrast to the sorting method above, the basic idea of Quicksort is sophisticated and powerful. Suppose we want to sort the following list:\n\n```\n26, 18, 4, 9, 37, 119, 220, 47, 74\n```\n\nThe number 37 in the above list is in a very intriguing position. Every number that precedes it is smaller than it and every number that follows it is larger than it. What that means is that after sorting the list, the 37 will be in the same place it now occupies, the numbers to its left will have been sorted but still be on its left, and the numbers on its right will have been sorted but still be on its right.\n\nIf we are fortunate enough to be given an array that has a \u2018splitter,\u2019 like 37, then we can\n- (a) sort the numbers to the left of the splitter, and then\n- (b) sort the numbers to the right of the splitter.\n\nObviously we have the germ of a recursive sorting routine. The fly in the ointment is that most arrays don\u2019t have splitters, so we won\u2019t often be lucky enough to find the state of affairs that exists in (2.2.1). However, we can make our own splitters, with some extra work, and that is the idea of the Quicksort algorithm. Let\u2019s state a preliminary version of the recursive procedure as follows (look carefully for how the procedure handles the trivial case where \\( n=1 \\)):\n\n```markdown\nprocedure quicksort(perm): \n {sorts the array x into nondescending order} \n if n \u2264 2 then \n permute the array elements so as to create a splitter; \n let z[i] be the splitter that was just created; \n quicksort(perm(subarray x[1],...,x[j-1])) in place; \n quicksort(perm(subarray x[j+1],...,x[n])) in place; \nend; \n```\n* C.

It looks like a recursive routine. It seems to call itself twice in order to get its job done. But it doesn\u2019t. It calls something that\u2019s just slightly different from itself in order to get its job done, and that won\u2019t work.\n\nObserve the exact purpose of Quicksort, as described above. We are given an array of length \\( n \\), and we want to sort it, all of it. Now look at the two \u2018recursive calls,\u2019 which really aren\u2019t quite. The first one sorts the array to the left of \\( x \\). That is indeed a recursive call, because we can just change the \u2018\\( n \\)\u2019 to \u2018\\( i - 1 \\)\u2019 and call Quicksort. The second recursive call is the problem. It wants to sort a portion of the array that doesn\u2019t begin at the beginning of the array. The routine Quicksort as written so far doesn\u2019t have enough flexibility to do that. So we will have to give it some more parameters.\n\nInstead of trying to sort all of the given array, we will write a routine that sorts only the portion of the given array \\( x \\) that extends from \\( x[left] \\) to \\( x[right] \\), inclusive, where \\( left \\) and \\( right \\) are input parameters. This leads us to the second version of the routine:\n\n```pascal\nprocedure qhsort(x: array; left, right: integer);\n{sorts the subarray x[left], ..., x[right]}\nif right - left > 1 then\n {create a splitter for the subarray in the fifth array position;}\n createSplitter for the subarray in the \\( i \\)th array position;\n qhsort(x, left, i - 1);\n qhsort(x, i + 1, right);\nend;\n\n```\n\nOnce we have qhsort, of course, Quicksort is no problem: we call qhsort with \\( left = 1 \\) and \\( right = n \\).\n\nThe next item on the agenda is the little question of how to create a splitter in an array. Suppose we are working with a subarray \\( x[left], x[left + 1], \\ldots, x[right] \\).\n\nThe first step is to choose one of the subarray elements (the element itself, not the position of the element) to be the splitter, and the second step is to make it happen. The choice of the splitter element in the Quicksort algorithm is done very simply: at random. We just choose, using our favorite random number generator, one of the entries of the given subarray, let\u2019s call it \\( T \\), and declare it to be the splitter. To repeat the parenthetical comment above, \\( T \\) is the value of the array entry that was chosen, not its position in the array. Once the value is selected, the position will be what it has to be, namely to the right of all smaller entries, and to the left of all larger entries.\n\nThe reason for making the random choice will become clearer after the smoke of the complexity discussion has cleared, but briefly it\u2019s this: the analysis of the average case complexity is relatively easy if we use the random choice, so that\u2019s a plus, and there are no minuses.\n\nSecond, we have now chosen \\( T \\) to be the value around which the subarray will be split. The entries of the subarray must be moved so as to make \\( T \\) the splitter.

First vertex s gets the label (-\u221e, +\u221e). We then scan s. Vertex A gets the label (-, \u221e, 8). B cannot be labeled, and C gets labeled with (s, +, 10), which completes the scan of s.\n\nNext we scan vertex A, during which D acquires the label (A, +, 8). Then C is scanned, which results in E getting the label (C, - , 10). Finally, the scan of D results in the label (D, +, 3) for the sink t. From the label of t we see that there is a flow augmenting path in the network along which we can push 3 more units of flow from s to t. We find the path as in procedure augment(flow, amount), following the labels backwards from t to D, A and s. The path in question will be seen to be exactly the one shown in Fig. 3.3.1, and further augmentation proceeds as we have discussed above.\n\n## 3.4 The max-flow min-cut theorem\n\nNow we are going to look at the state of affairs that holds when the flow augmentation procedure terminates because it has not been able to label the sink. We want to show that then the flow will have a maximum possible value.\n\nLet W \u2286 V(X), and suppose that W contains the source and W does not contain the sink. Let W denote\n\nall other vertices of X, i.e., W = V(X) - W.\n\n**Definition.** By the cut (W, W\u0304) we mean the set of all edges of X whose initial vertex is in W and whose terminal vertex is in W\u0304.\n\nFor example, one cut in a network consists of all edges whose initial vertex is the source. Now, every unit of flow that leaves the source and arrives at the sink must at some moment flow from a vertex of W to a vertex of W\u0304, i.e., must flow along some edge of the cut (W, W\u0304). We define the **capacity of a cut** to be the sum of the capacities of all edges in the cut; then it seems clear that the value of a flow can never exceed the capacity of any cut, and therefore the **minimum value of a flow** cannot exceed the minimum capacity of any cut.\n\nThe main result of this section is the \u2018max-flow min-cut\u2019 theorem of Ford and Fulkerson, which we state as\n\n**Theorem 3.4.1.** The maximum possible value of any flow in a network is equal to the minimum capacity of any cut in that network.\n\n**Proof.** We will first do a little computation to show that the value of a flow can never exceed the capacity of a cut. Second, we will show that when the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm terminates it has been unable to label the sink, and that that moment there is a cut in the network whose edges are saturated with flow, i.e., such that the flow in each edge of the cut is equal to the capacity of that edge.\n\nLet U and V be two (not necessarily disjoint) sets of vertices of the network X, and let f be a flow function for X. By f(U | V) we mean the sum of the values of the flow function along all edges whose initial vertices lies in U and whose terminal vertices lies in V. Similarly, by cu(U | V) we mean the sum of the capacities of all those edges. Finally, by the net flow out of U we mean f(U | V) - f(V | U).\n```\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Image Analysis\n\n#### 1.

Then\n\n\\[ \nQ = f(W, W') - f(W', W) \\leq \\text{cap}(W, W'). \n\\]\n\n### Proof of Lemma:\nThe net flow out of \\( s \\) is \\( Q \\). The net flow out of any other vertex \\( x \\in W' \\) is \\( 0 \\). Hence, if \\( V(X) \\) denotes the vertex set of the network \\( X \\), we obtain\n\n\\[\nQ = \\sum_{v \\in W} \\left( f(v, V(X)) - f(V(X), v) \\right) \n\\]\n\n\\[\n= f(W, V(X)) - f(V(X), W) \n\\]\n\n\\[\n= f(W, W') - f(W', W) \n\\]\n\n\\[\n= f(W, W') + f(W', W) - f(W', W) \n\\]\n\n\\[\n= f(W, W') - f(W', W).\n\\]\n\nThis proves the \\( '=' \\) part of \\( (3.4.1) \\), and the \\( '\\leq' \\) part is obvious, completing the proof of Lemma 3.4.1. \n\nWe now know that the maximum value of the flow in a network cannot exceed the minimum of the capacities of the cuts in the network.\n\nTo complete the proof of the theorem we will show that if a flow of maximum value, which surely exists, must saturate the edges of some cut.\n\nHence, let \\( f \\) be a flow in \\( X \\) of maximum value, and call procedure `labelscan(X, f, u)` where \\( W \\) be the set of vertices of \\( X \\) that have been labeled when the algorithm terminates. Clearly \\( s \\in W \\). Equally clearly, \\( t \\notin W \\), for suppose the contrary. Then we would have termination with `labeled` at \\( t \\)\u2019s time to augment; and if we were then to call procedure augment flow we would find a flow of higher value, contradicting the assumed maximality of \\( f \\).\n\nSince \\( s \\in W \\) and \\( t \\notin W \\), we see that \\( W \\) defines a cut \\( (W, W') \\).\n\nWe claim that every edge of the cut \\( (W, W') \\) is saturated. Indeed, if \\( (u, v) \\) is in the cut, \\( u \\in W, v \\in W' \\), then edge \\( (u, v) \\) is saturated, else \\( u \\) would have been labeled when we were scanning \\( v \\) and we would have \\( v \\in W \\), a contradiction. Similarly, if \\( (v, y) \\) is an edge where \\( y \\in T \\) and \\( v \\in W \\), then \\( f(v, y) = 0 \\); edge again would have been labeled when we were scanning \\( v \\), another contradiction.\n\nTherefore, every edge from \\( T \\) to \\( W \\) is carrying as much flow as its capacity permits, and every edge from \\( T \\) to \\( W \\) is carrying no flow at all. Hence the sign of equality holds in \\( (3.4.1) \\), the value of the flow is equal to the capacity of the cut \\( (W, W') \\), and the proof of Theorem 3.4.1 is finished.\n\n## 3.5 The Complexity of the Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm\n\nThe algorithm of Ford and Fulkerson terminates if and when it arrives at a stage where the sink is not labeled but no more vertices can be labeled. If at that time we let \\( W \\) be the set of vertices that have been labeled, then we have seen that \\( (W, W') \\) is a minimum cut of the network, and the present value of the flow is the desired maximum for the network.\n\nThe question now is, how long does it take to arrive at that stage, and indeed, is guaranteed that it will ever get there? We are asking if the algorithm is finite, surely the most primitive complexity question imaginable.\n\nFirst consider the case where every edge of the given network \\( X \\) has integer capacity. Then the labeling and flow augmentation algorithms, various additions and subtractions are done, but there is no way that any augmenting flows can be produced.\n\nIt follows that the augmented flow is still integral. The value of the flow therefore increases by an integer amount during each augmentation. On the other hand if, say, \\( C \\) denotes the combined capacity of all edges that are outbound from the source, then it is eminently clear that the value of the flow can never exceed \\( C \\). Since the value of the flow increases by at least 1 unit per augmentation, we see that no more than \\( C' \\) flow augmentations will be needed before a maximum flow is reached.

The good news is that the algorithm is finite. The bad news is that the complexity estimate that we have proved depends not only on the numbers of edges and vertices in \\( X \\) but on the edge capacities. If the bound \\( C^* \\) represents the true behavior of the algorithm, rather than some weakness in our analysis of the algorithm, then even on very small networks it will be possible to assign edge capacities so that the algorithm takes a very long time to run.\n\nAnd it is possible to do that.\n\nWe will show below an example due to Ford and Fulkerson in which the situation is even worse than the one envisaged above: not only will the algorithm take a very long time to run; it won't converge at all!\n\nConsider the network \\( X \\) that is shown in Fig. 3.5.1. It has 10 vertices \\( s, t, v_1, \\ldots, v_4 \\). There are directed edges \\( (v_i, v_j) \\) for \\( i \\neq j \\), \\( (v_j, v_i) \\) for \\( j \\neq i \\), \\( (s, v_i) \\) for \\( i = 1, 2 \\), \\( (s, v_3) \\), \\( (s, v_4) \\) and \\( (v_i, t) \\) for \\( i = 1, 2, 3, 4 \\).\n\n![Fig. 3.5.1: How to give the algorithm a hard time](path/to/image)\n\nIn this network, the four edges \\( A_i = (v_i, y_i) \\) (for \\( i = 1, 4 \\)) will be called the special edges. Next we will give the capacities of the edges of \\( X \\). Write \\( r = (-1 + \\sqrt{5})/2 \\) and let \n\n\\[ S = (3 + \\sqrt{5})/2 = \\sum_{n=0}^{\\infty} r^n. \\]\n\nThen to every edge of \\( X \\) except the four special edges we assign the capacity \\( S \\). The special edges \\( A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4 \\) are given capacities \\( 1, r^1, r^2, \\) respectively (you can see that this is going to be interesting).\n\nSuppose, for our first augmentation step, we find the flow augmenting path \\( s \\rightarrow v_1 \\rightarrow v_2 \\rightarrow t \\), and that we augment the flow by 1 unit along that path. The four special edges will then have residual capacities (excesses of capacity over flow) of \\( 0, r^2, r^3, r^4 \\), respectively.\n\nInductively, suppose we have arrived at a stage of the algorithm where the four special edges, taken in some rearrangement \\( A'_1, A'_2, A'_3, A'_4 \\), have residual capacities \\( 0, r^{n-1}, r^n \\). We will now show that the algorithm might next do two flow augmentation steps the net result of which would be that the inductive state of affairs would again hold, with \\( n \\) replaced by \\( n + 1 \\).\n\nIndeed, choose the flow augmenting path \n\n\\[ s \\rightarrow v_2 \\rightarrow v_4 \\rightarrow v_3 \\rightarrow t. \\] \n\nThis completes the reformatted Markdown text.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

First, if we start with zero flow in \\( X \\), make the layered network \\( Y \\), find a blocking flow in \\( Y \\), augment the flow in \\( X \\), make a new layered network \\( Y \\), find a blocking flow, etc., and then, after at most \\( V \\) phases (\u201cphase\u201d = layer + block + augment) we will have found the maximum flow in \\( X \\) and the process will halt.\n2. Second, each phase can be done very rapidly. The MPM algorithm, to be discussed in section 3.7, finds a blocking flow in a layered network in time \\( O(V) \\).\n\nBy the height of a layered network \\( Y \\) we will mean the number of edges in any path from source to sink. The network of Fig. 3.6.1 has height 1. Let\u2019s now show \n\n**Theorem 3.6.1.** The heights of the layered networks that occur in the consecutive phases of the solution of a network flow problem form a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers. Hence, for a network \\( X \\) with \\( V \\) vertices, there can be at most \\( V \\) places before a maximum flow is found.\n\nLet \\( Y(p) \\) denote the layered network that is constructed at the \\( p^{th} \\) phase of the computation and let \\( H(p) \\) denote the height of \\( Y(p) \\). We will first prove\n\n**Lemma 3.6.1.** If \n\n\\[\nv_0 \\to v_1 \\to v_2 \\to \\cdots \\to v_m \\quad (v_0 = \\text{source})\n\\]\n\nis a path in \\( Y(p + 1) \\), and if every vertex \\( v_i \\) (for \\( i = 1, \\ldots, m \\)) of that path also appears in \\( Y(p) \\), then for every \\( a = 0, m \\) it is true that if vertex \\( v_a \\) was in layer \\( l \\) of \\( Y(p) \\) then \\( 2 \\geq b \\).\n\n**Proof of lemma:** The result is clearly true for \\( a = 0 \\). Suppose it is true for \\( v_0, v_1, \\ldots, v_k \\), and suppose \\( v_{k+1} \\) was in layer \\( c \\) of network \\( Y(p) \\). We will show that \\( a + 1 \\leq c \\). Indeed, if not then \\( c > a + 1 \\). Since \\( v_a \\) was not present in network \\( Y(p) \\) since the two vertices were not in the same layers. Hence the flow in \\( Y \\) between \\( v_a \\) and \\( v_{k+1} \\) could not have been affected by the augmentation procedure of phase \\( p \\). But edge \\( v_i \\) is in \\( Y(p + 1) \\). Therefore it represented an edge of \\( Y \\) that at the beginning of phase \\( p + 1 \\) was unaffected by phase \\( p \\), but was not helpful at the beginning of phase \\( p \\). This contradiction establishes the lemma.\n\nNow we will prove the theorem. Let \n\n\\[\ns \\to v_1 \\to v_2 \\to \\cdots \\to v_{H(p)+1} \\to t\n\\]\n\nbe a path from source to sink in \\( Y(p + 1) \\).\n\nConsider first the case where every vertex of the path also lies in \\( Y(p) \\) and let \\( m = 1 \\) (i.e. \\( H(p + 1) = a \\)). We conclude that \\( H(p + 1) > H(p) \\). Now we want to exclude the \\( v_i \\)\u2019s from \\( Y(p + 1) \\) = \\( H(p) \\) in the entire path in \\( Y(p) \\) and \\( Y(p + 1) \\), and so all of the edges in \\( Y \\) that the edges of the path represent were helpful both before and after the augmentation step of phase \\( p \\), contradicting the fact that the blocking flow that was used for the augmentation saturated some edge of the chosen path. The theorem is now proved for the case where the path had all its vertices in \\( Y(p) \\).\n\nNow suppose that this was not the case. Let \\( e' : v_k \\to v_{k+1} \\) be the first edge of the path whose terminal vertex \\( v_{k+1} \\) was not in \\( Y(p) \\). Then the corresponding edges of \\( Y \\) was unaffected by the augmentation in phase \\( p \\). It was helpful from \\( v_{k} \\) at the beginning of phase \\( p + 1 \\) because \\( e' \\in Y(p + 1) \\) and was unaffected by phase \\( p \\), yet \\( v_{k+1} \\notin Y(p) \\). The only possibility is that vertex \\( v_{k+1} \\) would have entered into \\( Y \\) in the layer \\( H(p) \\) that contains the sink, but that layer is special, and contains only. Hence, if \\( v_a \\) is layer of \\( Y(p) \\), then \\( b + 1 = H(p) \\). By the lemma once more, \\( 2 \\geq b + 1 \\geq H(p) \\), and therefore \\( H(p + 1) > H(p) \\), completing the proof of Theorem 3.6.1.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

The result for the graph of Fig. 3.8.1 is shown in Fig. 3.8.2.\n\nConsider a maximum integer-valued flow in this network, of value \\( Q \\). Since each edge has capacity 1, \\( Q \\) edges of the type \\( (p, q) \\) can contain a unit of flow. Out of each vertex \\( p \\) that receives some of this flow, there will come one unit of flow (since inflow equals outflow at such vertices), which will then cross to a vertex \\( j \\) of \\( J \\). No such \\( j \\) will receive more than one unit because at most one unit can leave it for the sink \\( t \\). Hence the flow defines a matching of \\( Q \\) edges of the graph \\( G \\). Conversely, any matching in \\( G \\) defines a flow, hence a maximum flow corresponds to a maximum matching. In Fig. 3.8.3 we show a maximum flow in the network of Fig. 3.8.2 and therefore a maximum matching in the graph of Fig. 3.8.1.\n\n![A maximum flow](path_to_image_3.png) \n**Fig. 3.8.3:** A maximum flow\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Localization and Attribution:\n\n#### Image 1:\n- **Position:** Top of the page.\n- **Label:** Fig. 3.8.1: Matching people to jobs.\n\n#### Image 2:\n- **Position:** Middle of the page.\n- **Label:** Fig. 3.8.2: The network for the matching problem.\n\n#### Image 3:\n- **Position:** Bottom of the page.\n- **Label:** Fig. 3.8.3: A maximum flow.\n\n### Object Detection and Classification:\n\n#### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1):\n- **Objects:** Nodes and directed edges forming a bipartite graph.\n- **Key Features:** \n - Two disjoint sets of nodes.\n - Edges connecting nodes from one set to nodes in the other set.\n\n#### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2):\n- **Objects:** Nodes, directed edges, and an additional network structure.\n- **Key Features:** \n - Similar to Image 1 but with an added network component including source and sink nodes.\n\n#### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3):\n- **Objects:** Nodes, directed edges, and a flow network.\n- **Key Features:** \n - More densely connected network.\n - Shows capacity and flow through edges.\n\n### Scene and Activity Analysis:\n\n#### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1):\n- **Scene:** Bipartite graph representing the matching of individuals to jobs.\n- **Activities:** \n - Nodes represent people and jobs.\n - Edges represent potential matchings.\n\n#### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2):\n- **Scene:** Network flow diagram for the matching problem.\n- **Activities:** \n - Nodes represent individuals, jobs, and intermediary components.\n - Edges indicate flow paths.\n\n#### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3):\n- **Scene:** Network flow diagram showing a maximum flow scenario.\n- **Activities:** \n - Each edge shows the flow of units from one node to another.\n - Network demonstrates maximum possible flow from source to sink.\n\n### Text Analysis:\n\n- **Text Detected:**\n - Chapter and section details at the top.\n - Descriptions below each figure (e.g., \"Matching people to jobs\").\n - Paragraph text explains the theoretical basis and results observed in the figures, discussing capacity and maximum flow in network graphs.\n\n- **Significance:**\n - The text provides context and theoretical explanation of the concepts illustrated by the graphs, which include matching problems and network flows.\n\n### Diagram and Chart Analysis:\n\n#### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1):\n- **Diagrams and Data:** Bipartite matching graph.\n- **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None.\n- **Key Insights:** Illustrates the concept of matching entities from two distinct sets.\n\n#### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2):\n- **Diagrams and Data:** Network structure for matching problem.\n- **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None.\n- **Key Insights:** Provides a more complex view incorporating network flow for the matching problem.\n\n#### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3):\n- **Diagrams and Data:** Maximum flow network diagram.\n- **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None.\n- **Key Insights:** Demonstrates the computation of maximum flow within a network graph.\n\n### Color Analysis:\n\n- **Color Composition for all Images:**\n - Predominantly black and white, typical for schematic and instructional diagrams in technical documents.\n\n### Perspective and Composition:\n\n#### Basic Features Shared by All Images:\n- **Perspective:** Straightforward 2D view with nodes and edges distinctly visible.\n- **Composition:** Symmetrically arranged diagrams focusing on clarity of nodes and edges to elucidate matching and flow concepts.\n\n### Contextual Significance:\n\n- **Context within Document:**\n - Each figure exemplifies concepts crucial to understanding network flow problems and matching theory in a chapter dedicated to such topics.\n - Enhances comprehension by visually depicting theoretical explanations.\n\n### Anomaly Detection:\n\n- **Possible Anomalies:**\n - No visible anomalies or unusual elements; all diagrams seem standard for educational purposes.\n\n### Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations):\n\n- **Image Designations:**\n - Bipartite Graph (Fig. 3.8.1)\n - Network for Matching Problem (Fig. 3.8.2)\n - Maximum Flow Network (Fig. 3.8.3)\n\n### Trend and Interpretation:\n\n- **Matching and Flow Trends:**\n - Progressive complexity from a simple bipartite graph to a network flow system depicting maximum flow.\n\n### ProencryptedContent .de: gr\u00f6\u00dferiges Chancen: less Beschreibtion Format .encryption: Completed .\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 83\n\nContext: # 3.6 Layered Networks\n\nIf we remove all of the edges incident to a single vertex \\( v \\), we will disconnect the graph. Hence the edge connectivity cannot exceed the minimum degree of vertices in the graph. However, the edge connectivity could be a lot smaller than the minimum degree as the graph of Fig. 3.8.4 shows, in which the minimum is large, but the removal of just one edge will disconnect the graph.\n\n![Fig. 3.8.4: Big degree, low connectivity](#)\n\nFinding the edge connectivity is quite an important combinatorial problem, and it is by no means obvious that network flow methods can be used on it, but they can, and here is how.\n\nGiven \\( G \\), a graph of \\( V \\) vertices. We solve not just one, but \\( V - 1 \\) network flow problems, one for each vertex \\( j = 2, \\ldots, V \\).\n\nFix such a vertex \\( j \\). Then consider vertex \\( 1 \\) of \\( G \\) to be the source and vertex \\( j \\) to be the sink of a network \\( X \\). Replace each edge of \\( G \\) by two edges of \\( X \\), one in each direction, each with capacity \\( 1 \\). Now solve the network flow problem in \\( X \\), obtaining a maximum flow \\( Q(j) \\). Then the smallest of the numbers \\( Q(j), j = 2, \\ldots, V \\) is the edge connectivity of \\( G \\). We will not prove this here. \n\nAs a final application of network flow, we discuss the beautiful question of determining whether or not there is a matrix of \\( 0 \\)s and \\( 1 \\)s that has given row and column sums. For instance, there is a \\( 6 \\times 8 \\) matrix whose row sums are respectively \\( (5, 5, 4, 3, 5, 6) \\) and whose column sums are \\( (3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3) \\) or such a matrix to exist it must surely be true that\n\n\\[\nr_1 + \\ldots + r_m = s_1 + \\ldots + s_n\n\\]\n\nsince each side counts the total number of \\( 1 \\)s in the matrix. Here we will suppose that (3.8.1) is true. \n\nNow we will construct a network \\( Y \\) of \\( m + n + 2 \\) vertices named \\( s, t, v_1, \\ldots, v_m, u_1, \\ldots, u_n \\), and \\( t \\) is an edge of capacity \\( r_j \\), drawn from the source \\( s \\) to vertex \\( v_j \\) for each \\( j = 1, \\ldots, m \\), and an edge of capacity \\( s_i \\), drawn from vertex \\( u_i \\) to the sink \\( t \\) for each \\( i = 1, \\ldots, n \\). Finally, there are \\( r_j \\) edges of capacity \\( 1 \\) drawn from each edge to each vertex \\( v_j \\).\n\nNext fix a maximum flow in this network. There is a \\( 0-1 \\) matrix with the given row and column sums if and only if a maximum flow saturates every edge outbound from the source, that is, if and only if a maximum flow has value equal to the right side of equation (3.8.1). If such a flow exists then a matrix \\( A \\) of the desired kind is constructed by putting \\( a_{ij} \\) equal to the flow in the edge from \\( v_j \\) to \\( u_i \\). \n\n---\n\n* S. Even and R.

It is one of the oldest algorithms known. The reader is invited to write the Euclidean algorithm as a recursive program, and get it working on some computer. Use a recursive language, write the program more or less as above, and try it out with some large, healthy integers \\( n \\) and \\( m \\).\n\nThe gcd program exhibits all of the symptoms of recursion. It calls itself with smaller values of its variable list. It begins with 'if trivially' then to 'trivially' (if \\( m = 0 \\)), and this case is all-important because it\u2019s the only way the procedure can stop itself.\n\nIf, for example, we want the g.c.d. of 13 and 21, we call the program with \\( n = 13 \\) and \\( m = 21 \\), and then recursively calls itself with the following arguments:\n\n```\n(21, 13), (13, 8), (8, 5), (5, 3), (3, 2), (2, 1), (1, 0)\n```\n\nWhen it arrives at a call in which the 'm' is \\( 0 \\), then the 'n', namely \\( 1 \\) in this case, is the desired g.c.d.\n\nWhat is the input to the problem? The two integers \\( n, m \\) whose g.c.d. we want are the input, and the number of bits that are needed to input those two integers is \\( \\Theta(\\log n) + \\Theta(\\log m) \\). Hence \\( \\log m \\) then \\( \\log n \\) is the length of the input bit string. Now let\u2019s see how long the algorithm might run with an input string of that length.\n\nTo measure the running time of the algorithm we need first to choose a unit of cost or work. Let\u2019s agree that one unit of labor is the execution of a single \\( \\text{mod} \\) operation. In this problem, an equivalent measure of cost would be the number of times the algorithm calls itself recursively.

In that case \\(M = 21\\) and \\(20 \\log_2 M + 1 = 9.78\\). The theorem asserts that the g.c.d. will be found after about 9 operations. In fact, it was found after 7 operations in that case.\n\n### Proof of theorem:\nSuppose first that \\(a \\geq b\\). The algorithm generates a sequence \\(a_0, a_1, \\ldots\\) where \\(a_0 = a\\), \\(a_1 = b\\), and \\(a_{j+1} = a_j \\mod a_{j-1}\\) \\((j \\geq 1)\\).\n\nBy lemma 4.2.1,\n\n\\[\na_{j+1} \\leq \\frac{a_{j-1} - 1}{2} \\leq \\frac{a_j}{2}.\n\\]\n\nThen, by induction on \\(j\\), it follows that\n\n\\[\na_{2j} \\leq \\frac{4n}{2^j} \\quad (j \\geq 0)\n\\]\n\n\\[\na_{2j+1} \\leq \\frac{a_j}{2} \\quad (j \\geq 0)\n\\]\n\nand so,\n\n\\[\na_j \\leq 2^{-|r/2|}M \\quad (r = 0, 1, 2, \\ldots).\n\\]\n\nObviously, the algorithm has terminated if \\(a < 1\\), and this will have happened when \\(r\\) is large enough so that \\(2^{-|r/2|}M < 1\\), i.e., if \\(r > 2 \\log_2 M\\). If \\(r < 4\\) then after 1 operation we will be in the case \\(a < b\\) that we have just discussed, and the proof is complete.\n\nThe upper bound in the statement of theorem 4.2.1 can be visualized as follows. The number \\(log_2 M\\) is almost exactly the number of bits in the binary representation of \\(M\\) (what is \u2018exactly\u2019 that number of bits?). Theorem 4.2.1 therefore asserts that we can find the g.c.d. of two integers in a number of operations that is at most a linear function of the number of bits that it takes to represent the two numbers. In brief, we might say that \\( \\text{Time} = O(\\text{bits})\\); in the case of Euclid\u2019s algorithm.\n\n## Exercises for section 4.2\n\n1.

Then there is a multiplicative inverse modulo n if and only if g = 1. In that case, the inverse can be computed in polynomial time.\n\n**Proof:** By the extended Euclidean algorithm we can find, in linear time, integers t and u such that g = m * t + n. But this last equation says that t \u2261 g * (mod n). If g = 1 then it is obvious that t is the inverse modulo of m.

The routine first replaces `(14, 11)` with `(11, 3)` and calls itself successively with `(3, 2)`, `(2, 1)` and `(1, 0)`. When it executes `(n, m) = (1, 0)` it encounters the `if m = 0` statement, so it sets g := 1, t := 1, u := 0.\n\nNow it can complete the execution of the call with `(m, n) = (2, 1)`, which has so far been pending.

Since \\( 6 = 2 \\cdot 3 \\), we expect that somehow \\( \\mathbb{Z}_6 \\cong \\mathbb{Z}_2 \\times \\mathbb{Z}_3 \\). What this means is that we consider ordered pairs \\( (x_1, x_2) \\), where \\( x_1 \\in \\mathbb{Z}_2 \\) and \\( x_2 \\in \\mathbb{Z}_3 \\).\n\nHere is how we do the arithmetic with the ordered pairs. \n\nFirst, \\( (x_1, x_2) + (y_1, y_2) = (x_1 + y_1, x_2 + y_2) \\), in which the two \u2018+\u2019 signs on the right are different: the \\( x_1 + y_1 \\) is done in \\( \\mathbb{Z}_2 \\) while the \\( x_2 + y_2 \\) is done in \\( \\mathbb{Z}_3 \\).\n\nSecond, \\( (x_1, y_1) \\cdot (y_1, y_2) = (x_1 \\cdot y_1, x_2 \\cdot y_2) \\), in which the two multiplications on the right side are different: the \\( x_1 \\cdot y_1 \\) is done in \\( \\mathbb{Z}_2 \\) and the \\( x_2 \\cdot y_2 \\) is done in \\( \\mathbb{Z}_3 \\).\n\nTherefore the 6 elements of \\( \\mathbb{Z}_6 \\) are\n\n\\[\n(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2).\n\\]\n\nA sample of the addition process is\n\n\\[\n(0, 2) + (1, 1) = (0 + 1 + 2 + 1) = (1, 0).\n\\]\n\nWhere the addition of the first components was done modulo 2 and of the second components was done modulo 3.\n\nA sample of the multiplication process is\n\n\\[\n(1, 2) \\cdot (1, 2) = (1 \\cdot 1, 1 \\cdot 2) = (1, 1).\n\\]\n\nIn which multiplication of the first components was done modulo 2 and of the second components was done modulo 3.\n\nIn full generality, we can state the factorization of \\( \\mathbb{Z}_n \\) as\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Text Analysis:\n\n#### **Image 1:**\n- **Location on Page:** Top half and extending to the bottom half of the page.\n- **Text Detected:**\n 1. **Chapter Title:**\n - *Chapter 4: Algorithms in the Theory of Numbers*\n 2. **Main Content:**\n - The main text discusses the concepts of primitive roots modulo \\( n \\) with relevant theorems and corollaries stated clearly.\n 3. **Theorems and Corollaries:**\n - **Theorem 4.5.1** (Fermat\u2019s theorem): \"For every integer \\( a \\) that is relatively prime to \\( n \\) we have \\( a^{\\varphi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)).\"\n - **Theorem 4.5.2** (Fermat\u2019s little theorem): \"If \\( n \\) is prime, then for all \\( a \\not\\equiv 0 \\) (mod n) we have \\( a^{n-1} \\equiv 1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)).\"\n - **Theorem 4.5.3**: Discusses the conditions under which an integer \\( n \\) has a primitive root.\n - **Corollary 4.5.3.a**: States conditions for \\( U_n \\) (the multiplicative group modulo \\( n \\)) to be cyclic.\n 4. **Addition and Multiplication Processes:**\n - Describes operations within \\( Z_6 \\) using ordered pairs, specifically detailing summation and multiplication processes with examples.\n 5. **Example and General Factorization:**\n - Describes ordered pairs in \\( Z_6 \\) and provides specific examples of addition and multiplication processes for clarity.\n\n### Object Detection and Classification:\n\n#### **Image 1:**\n- **Objects Detected:**\n - **Text Blocks:** Significant portions of text focused on theoretical formulations in number theory.\n - **Mathematical Symbols and Equations:** Various mathematical notations, equations, and symbols including summation and product notation, modular arithmetic symbols, and Greek letters like \\( \\varphi(n) \\).\n \n### Scene and Activity Analysis:\n\n#### **Image 1:**\n- **Scene Description:**\n - The image is a scanned page from a mathematical textbook.\n - The layout includes a structured presentation with headers, explanations, theorem statements, corollaries, and examples.\n- **Activities:**\n - The main activity involves conveying complex mathematical concepts related to number theory through the presentation of theorems and examples.\n\n### Diagram and Chart Analysis:\n\n#### **Image 1:**\n- No diagrams or charts are present in this image.\n\n### Color Analysis:\n\n#### **Image 1:**\n- **Color Composition:**\n - Predominantly black text on a white background.\n - The high contrast between text and background aids readability.\n \n### Perspective and Composition:\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 95\n\nContext: In the contrary case we would have x and x' both corresponding to (b1, b2, ..., br) say.

The order of \\( x \\) is equal to the lcm of the orders of the elements of the \\( s \\)-tuple. For each \\( i = 1, \\ldots, s \\), the order of the \\( i \\)-th element is a divisor of \\( \\phi(i) \\), and therefore the order of \\( x \\) divides the item shown above.\n\n## Lemma 4.7.2\nLet \\( n > 1 \\) be odd. For each element of \\( U_n \\), let \\( C(x) = \\{ 1, x, \\ldots, x^{e-1} \\} \\) denote the cyclic group that it generates. Let \\( B \\) be the set of all elements of \\( U_n \\) for which \\( C(y) \\) either contains \\(-1\\) or odd order (i.e., \\( \\text{ord}(y) \\) odd). If \\( B \\) generates the full group \\( U_n \\), then \\( n \\) is a prime power.\n\n**Proof:** Let \\( e' = 2^m \\), where \\( m \\) is odd and \\( e' \\) is as shown in lemma 4.7.1. Then there is a \\( j \\) such that \\( \\phi(n) \\) is divisible by \\( 2^j \\).\n\nNow if \\( n \\) is a prime power, we are finished. So we can suppose that \\( n \\) is divisible by more than one prime number. Since \\( \\phi(n) \\) is an even number for all \\( n > 2 \\) (proof?), the number \\( e' \\) is even. Hence \\( t > 0 \\) and we can define a mapping \\( \\psi \\) of the group \\( U_n \\) to itself by\n\n\\[\n\\psi(x) = x^{2^{m-1}} \\quad (x \\in U_n)\n\\]\n\n(note that \\( \\psi \\) is its own inverse).\n\nThis is in fact a group homomorphism.\n\nFor each \\( x \\in U_k \\): \\( \\psi(xy) = \\psi(x)\\psi(y) \\).\n\nLet \\( B \\) be as in the statement of lemma 4.7.2. For each \\( x \\in B \\), \\( \\psi(x) \\in B \\) and \n\n\\[\n\\psi^2(x) = \\psi(x).\n\\]\n\nSince \\( \\psi(y) \\) is an element of \\( C(y) \\) whose square is 1, \\( \\psi(y) \\) has order 1 or 2. Hence if \\( \\psi(y) \\neq 1 \\), it is of order 2. If the cyclic group \\( C(y) \\) is of odd order then it contains \\(-1\\). It then can contain no other element of order 2, so \\( \\psi(y) = -1 \\) in this case.\n\nHence for every \\( x \\in B \\), \\( \\psi(x) = 1 \\).\n\nSuppose \\( B \\) generates the full group \\( U_n \\). Then not only for every \\( x \\in B \\) but for every \\( z \\in U_n \\) is true that \\( \\psi(z) = 1 \\).\n\nSuppose \\( n \\) is not a prime power. Then \\( s > 1 \\) in the factorization (4.5.2) of \\( U_n \\). Consider the element \\( v \\in U_n \\), which, when written out as an \\( s \\)-tuple according to that factorization, is of the form\n\n\\[\nv = (1, 1, \\ldots, 1, y, 1, \\ldots, 1)\n\\]\n\nwhere the \\( y \\) is in the \\( j \\)-th component, \\( y \\in U_k \\) (recall that \\( j \\) is described above, in the second sentence of this proof). We can suppose \\( y \\) to be an element of order exactly \\( 2 \\) in \\( U_n \\), since \\( U_k \\) is cyclic.\n\nConsider \\( \\psi(y) \\). Clearly \\( \\psi(y) \\) is not 1, for otherwise the order of \\( y \\), namely \\( 2^{1} \\), would divide \\( 2^{m-1} \\), which is impossible because \\( m \\) is odd.\n\nAlso, \\( \\psi(y) \\) is not \\(-1\\), because the element \\(-1\\) of \\( U_n \\) is represented uniquely by the \\( s \\)-tuple all of whose entries are \\(-1\\). Thus \\( y \\) is neither 1 nor \\(-1\\), which contradicts the italicized assertion above. Hence \\( s = 1 \\) and \\( n \\) is a prime power, completing the proof.\n\nNow we can prove the main result of Solovay, Strassen and Rabin, which asserts that Test 4 is good.\n\n## Theorem 4.7.1\nLet \\( B' \\) be the set of integers \\( m \\) such that \\( (n, m) \\) returns \u2018inconclusive\u2019 in Test 4. \n(a) If \\( B' \\) generates \\( U_n \\), then \\( n \\) is prime. \n(b) If \\( B' \\) consists of at most half of the integers in \\( [1, n-1] \\). \n\n**Proof:** Suppose \\( B' \\) and let \\( m \\) be the odd part of \\( n - 1 \\). Then either \\( m \\equiv 1 \\mod 2^{r} - 1 \\) for some \\( i \\in [0, n-1] \\). In the former case the cyclic subgroup \\( C(y) \\) has odd order, since \\( m \\) is odd, and in the latter case \\( C(y) \\) contains \\(-1\\).\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of Attached Visual Content:\n\n**1.

If \\( B' \\) generates the full group \\( U_n \\), then \\( B \\) does too, and by lemma 4.7.2, if \\( n \\) is a prime power, \\( n = p^k \\).\n\nAlso, in either of the above cases we have \\( b^{\\phi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\), so the same holds for all \\( b \\in B' \\), and so for all \\( x \\in U_n \\), we have \\( x^{n-1} \\equiv 1 \\), since \\( B' \\) generates \\( U_n \\).\n\nNow, \\( n \\) is cyclic or direct.\n\nBy theorem 4.5.3 there are primitive roots modulo \\( n = p^k \\). Let \\( g \\) be one of these. The order of \\( g \\) is, on the one hand, \\( p^{k-1}(p-1) \\) since the set of all its powers is identical with \\( U_n \\), and on the other hand is a divisor of \\( n - 1 = i^{k} - 1 \\) for all \\( a \\), and in particular for \\( a = g \\).\n\nHence \\( p^{k-1}(p - 1) \\) (which, if \\( k > 1 \\), is a multiple of \\( p \\)) divides \\( p \\) (which is one less than a multiple of \\( p \\)), and so \\( k = 1 \\), which completes the proof of part (a) of the theorem.\n\nIn part (b), \\( n \\) is composite and so \\( B' \\) cannot generate all of \\( U_n \\) by part (a). Hence \\( B' \\) generates a proper subgroup of \\( U_n \\), and so can contain at most half as many elements as \\( U_n \\) contains, and the proof is complete.\n\nAnother application of the same circle of ideas to compute elements occurs in the generation of random numbers on a computer. A good way to do this is to choose a primitive root modulo the word size of your computer, and then, each time the user asks for a random number, output the next higher power of the primitive root. The fact that you started with a primitive root insures that the number of \"random numbers\" generated before repetition sets in will be as large as possible.\n\nNow we'll summarize the way in which the primality test is used. Suppose there is a large integer \\( n \\), and we would like to determine if it is prime. We can do this with:\n\n``` \nfunction test(n, outcome);\n times = 0;\n repeat \n choose an integer \\( k \\) uniformly at random in \\( [2, n-1] \\);\n apply the strong pseudoprimality test (Test 4) to the pair \\( (n, k) \\);\n times = times + 1 \n until \\( (result = 'is composite') \\text{ or times = 100} \\; \n if times = 100 then outcome := 'is probably prime' \n else outcome := 'is composite' \nend{test}\n```\n\nIf the procedure exits with \\( n \\) is composite, then we can be certain that \\( n \\) is not prime. If we want to see the factors of \\( n \\) then it will be necessary to use some factorization algorithm, such as the one described below in section 4.9.\n\nOn the other hand, if the procedure halts because it has been through 100 trials without a conclusive result, then the integer \\( n \\) is very probably prime. More precisely, the chance that a composite integer \\( n \\) would have behaved like that is less than \\( 2^{-100} \\). If we want certainty, however, it will be necessary to apply a test whose outcome will prove primality, such as the algorithm of Adleman, Rumely and Pomerance, referred to earlier.\n\nIn section 4.9 we will discuss a probabilistic factoring algorithm. Before doing so, in the next section we will present a remarkable application of the complexity of the factoring problem to cryptography. Such applications remind us that primality and factorization algorithms have important applications beyond pure mathematics, in areas of vital public concern.\n\n## Exercises for section 4.7\n\n1.

Observe, however, that \\( (p-1)(q-1) \\) is \\( \\phi(n) \\), and so we have:\n\n\\[\nC^D \\equiv P^{DE} \\equiv P^{(1+k\\phi(n))} \\quad (t \\text{ is some integer})\n\\]\n\\[\n\\equiv P \\quad (\\text{mod } n)\n\\]\n\nwhere the last equality is by Fermat\u2019s theorem (4.5.1). The receiver has now recovered the original message \\( P \\).\n\nIf the receiver suspects that the code has been broken, i.e., that the adversaries have discovered the primes \\( p \\) and \\( q \\), then the sender can change them without having to send any secret messages to anyone else. Only the public numbers \\( n \\) and \\( E \\) would change. The sender would not need to be informed of any other changes.\n\nBefore proceeding, the reader is urged to construct a little scenario. Make up a short (very short!) message. Choose values for the other parameters that are needed to complete the picture. Send the message as the sender would, and decode it as the receiver would. Then try to intercept the message, as an eavesdropper would, and see what the difficulties are.\n\n## (D) How to intercept the message\n\nAn eavesdropper who receives the message \\( C \\) would be unable to decode it without (inventing some entirely new decoding scheme or) knowing the inverse \\( D \\) of \\( E \\) (mod \\( (p-1)(q-1) \\)). The eavesdropper, however, does not even know the modulus \\( n = (p-1)(q-1) \\) because \\( p \\) and \\( q \\) are unknown (only the receiver knows them), and knowing the product \\( p \\times q = n \\) alone is insufficient. The eavesdropper is thereby compelled to derive a polynomial-time factoring algorithm for large integers. May success attend those efforts!\n\nThe reader might well remind her that the receiver has a substantial computational problem in creating two large primes \\( p \\) and \\( q \\). To a certain extent this is so, but two factors make the task a good deal easier. First, \\( p \\) and \\( q \\) will need to have only half as many bits as \\( n \\) has, so the job is of smaller size.

To see that 186 is a B-number, note that \\( 186^2 \\equiv 20 \\, \\text{(mod} \\, (-2)^2) \\), and similarly, since \\( 267^2 \\equiv 41 - 1729 + (-2)^2 \\), we see that 267 is a B-number, for this factor base \\( B \\).\n\nThe exponent vectors of 186 and 267 are \\( (4, 0) \\) and \\( (4, 2) \\) respectively, and these sum to \\( (0, 0) \\) (mod 2), hence we find that\n\n\\[\nu = 186 \\times 267 = 1729 \\, (\\text{mod} \\, 1729)\n\\]\n\\[\nr_1 = 4; \\quad r_2 = 1\n\\]\n\\[\ns_1 = (-2)^{(5)} = 80\n\\]\n\\[\n\\gcd(u - v, n) = \\gcd(1170, 1729) = 13\n\\]\n\nand we have found the factor 13 of 1729.\n\nThere might have seemed to be some legerdemain involved in plucking the B-numbers 186 and 267 out of the air, in the example above. In fact, as the algorithm has been implemented by its author, J. D. Dixon, one simply chooses integers uniformly at random from \\([1, n-1]\\) until enough B-numbers have been found, so their exponent vectors are linearly dependent modulo 2. In Dixon's implementation the factor base that is used consists of \\( 1 \\) together with the first \\( k \\) prime numbers.\n\nIt can then be proved that if \\( n \\) is not a prime power then with a correct choice of \\( b \\) relative to \\( n \\), if we repeat the random choices until a factor of \\( n \\) is found, the average running time will be \n\n\\[\n\\exp\\left(2 + o(1)\\right)(\\log \\log n)^{3}.\n\\]\n\nThis is not polynomial time, but it is moderately exponential only. Nevertheless, it is close to being about the best that we know how to do on the elusive problem of factoring a large integer.\n\n## 4.10 Proving primality\nIn this section we will consider a problem that sounds a lot like primality testing, but is really a little different because the rules of the game are different. Basically the problem is to convince a skeptical audience that a certain integer \\( n \\) is prime, requiring them to do only a small amount of computation in order to be so persuaded.\n\nFirst, though, suppose you were writing a 100-decimal-digit integer on the blackboard in front of a large audience and you wanted to prove to them that it was not a prime.\n\nIf you simply wrote down two smaller integers whose product was \\( n \\), the job would be done. Anyone who wished to be certain could spend a few minutes multiplying the factors together and verifying that the product was indeed \\( n \\), and all doubts would be dispelled.\n\nIndeed*, a speaker at a mathematical convention in 1903 announced the result that \\( 2^{n} - 1 \\) is not a prime number, and to be utterly convincing all he had to do was to write \n\n\\[\n2^{n} - 1 = 193707721 \\times 761838257287.\n\\]\n\nWe note that the speaker probably had to work very hard to find those factors, but having found them it became quite easy to convince others of the truth of the claimed result.\n\nA pair of integers \\( r, s \\) for which \\( r \\equiv 1 \\, (\\text{mod} \\, s) \\) and \\( n = rs \\) constitute a certificate attesting to the compositeness of \\( n \\). With this certificate \\( C(n) \\) and an auxiliary checking algorithm, viz. \n\n1. Verify that \\( r \\neq 1 \\) and that \\( s \\neq 1 \\).\n2. Check that \\( r \\times s = n \\).\n\nWe can prove, in polynomial time, that \\( n \\) is not a prime number.\n\n*We follow the account given in V. Pratt, \"Every prime has a succinct certificate,\" SIAM J. Computing, 4 (1975), 214-220.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Image Analysis\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n- **Image Identification:** Single-paged document.\n- **Image Number:** Image 1.\n\n#### 2. **Object Detection and Classification:**\n- **Objects Identified:** Text blocks, mathematical formulas, numbers, and a footnote.\n- **Category:** Educational/Instructional document.\n- **Key Features:** Mathematical equations, exponents, symbols like \"mod\", equal signs, and text paragraphs.\n\n#### 3. **Scene and Activity Analysis:**\n- **Scene Description:** \n The image contains text and mathematical equations discussing an algorithm in the theory of numbers.

Those were the polynomial-time problem, for which the best-known algorithm is delicately poised on the brink of polynomial time, and the integer-factoring problem, for which the known algorithms are in a more primitive condition.\n\nIn this chapter we will meet a large family of such problems (hundreds of them now!). This family is not just a list of seemingly difficult computational problems. It is in fact bound together by strong ties. The collection of problems, called the NP-complete problems, includes many well-known and important questions in discrete mathematics, such as the following:\n\n- **The travelling salesman problem (TSP)**: Given n points in the plane (the \"cities\"), and a distance D, is there a tour that visits all of the cities, returns to its starting point, and has total length \u2264 D?\n- **Graph coloring**: Given a graph G and an integer K. Can the vertices of G be properly colored in K or fewer colors?\n- **Independent set**: Given a graph G and an integer K. Does V(G) contain an independent set of K vertices?\n- **Bin packing**: Given a finite set S of positive integers, and an integer N (the number of bins). Does there exist a partition of S into N or fewer subsets such that the sum of the integers in each subset is \u2264 K? In other words, can we \"pack\" the integers of S into at most N \"bins\", where the \"capacity\" of each bin is K?\n\nThese are very difficult computational problems. Take the graph coloring problem, for instance. We could try every possible way of coloring the vertices of G in K colors to see if any of them work. There are \\( K^n \\) such possibilities, if G has n vertices. Here, if there are a large amount of colorings to be done, enough so that if G has 50 vertices and we have 10 colors at our disposal, the problem would lie far beyond the capabilities of the fastest computers that are now available.\n\nHard problems can have easy instances. If the graph G happens to have no edges at all, or very few of them, then it will be very easy to find out if a coloring is possible, or if an independent set of K vertices is present.\n\nThe real question is this (let's use \"Independent Set\" as an illustration): Is it possible to design an algorithm that will come packaged with a performance guarantee of the following kind:\n\n> **The seller warrants that if a graph G, of n vertices, and a positive integer K are input to this program, then it will correctly determine if there is an independent set of K or more vertices in V(G), and it will do so in an amount of time that is at most 1000n^k.**\n\nHence there is no contradiction between the facts that the problem is hard and that there are easy cases. The hardness of the problem stems from the seeming impossibility of producing such an algorithm accompanied by such a manufacturer's warranty card. Of course the \"1000\" didn\u2019t have to be exactly that. But some quite specific polynomial in the length of the input string must appear in the performance guarantee. Hence \"357n\u00b2\" might have appeared in the guarantee, and so might \"23n\", but \\( n^k \\) would not be allowed.\n\nLet's look carefully at why \\( n^k \\) would not be an acceptable worst-case polynomial time performance bound. In the \"Independent Set\" problem the input must describe the graph G and the integer K. How many bits are needed to do that? The graph can be specified, for example, by its vertex adjacency matrix A. This is an \\( n \\times n \\) matrix in which the entry in row i and column j is 1 if (i, j) \u2208 E(G) and is 0 else.\n\nEvidently, \\( n^2 \\) bits will describe the matrix A. The integers K and n can be entered with just \\( O(\\log n) \\) bits, so the entire input bit string for the \"Independent Set\" problem is \\( n^2 \\) bits long, let D denote the number of bits in the input string. Suppose that on the warranty card the program was guaranteed to run in a time that is \u2264 \\( n^k \\).\n\nIs this a guarantee of polynomial time performance? That question raises: Is there a polynomial P such that for every instance of \"Independent Set\" the running time T will be at most P(D)? Well, is it bounded?\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content\n\n### 1.

As we have already remarked, the surprising thing is that there is an NP-complete problem at all, since it is not immediately clear why any single problem should hold the key to the polynomial time solvability of every problem in the class NP. But there is one. As soon as we see why there is one, then we'll be able to see more easily why there are hundreds of them, including many computational questions about discrete structures such as graphs, networks and games and about optimization problems, about algebraic structures, formal logic, and so forth.\n\n### Here is the satisfiability problem, the first problem that was proved to be NP-complete, by Stephen Cook in 1971.\n\nWe begin with a list of (Boolean) variables \\( x_1, \\ldots, x_n \\). A literal is either one of the variables \\( x_i \\) or the negation of one of the variables, as \\( \\neg x_i \\). There are \\( 2n \\) possible literals.\n\nA clause is a set of literals.\n\nThe rules of the game are these. We assign the value \u2018True\u2019 (T) or \u2018False\u2019 (F) to each one of the variables. Having done that, each one of the literals inherits a truth value, namely a literal \\( l \\) has the same truth or falsity as the corresponding variable \\( x_i \\), and a literal \\( \\neg x_i \\) has the opposite truth value from that of the variable \\( x_i \\).\n\nFinally each of the clauses also inherits a truth value from this process, and it is determined as follows. A clause has the value \u2018True\u2019 if and only if at least one of the literals in that clause has the value \u2018T\u2019; and otherwise it has the value \u2018F\u2019.\n\nHence starting with an assignment of truth values to the variables, some true and some false, we end up with a determination of the truth values of each of the clauses, some true and some false.\n\n#### Definition\n\nA set of clauses is satisfiable if there exists an assignment of truth values to the variables that makes all the clauses true.\n\nThink of the word \u2018or\u2019 as being between each of the literals in a clause, and the word \u2018and\u2019 as being between the clauses.\n\n### The satisfiability problem (SAT).\n\nGiven a set of clauses. Does there exist a set of truth values (T or F), one for each variable, such that every clause contains at least one literal whose value is T (i.e., such that every clause is satisfied)?\n\n**Example:** Consider the set \\( x_1, x_2, x_3 \\) of variables. From these we might manufacture the following list of four clauses:\n\n- \\( \\{x_1, x_2\\} \\)\n- \\( \\{x_1, \\neg x_3\\} \\)\n- \\( \\{x_2, x_3\\} \\)\n- \\( \\{\\neg x_1, x_3\\} \\)\n\nIf we choose the truth values (T, T, F) for the variables, respectively, then the four clauses would assign the truth values (T, T, F), and so this would not be a satisfying truth assignment for the set of clauses. There are only eight possible ways to assign truth values to three variables, and after a little more experimentation we might find out that these clauses would in fact be satisfied if we were to make the assignments (T, T, T) (how can we recognize a set of clauses that is satisfied by assigning to every variable the value \u2018T\u2019?)\n\nThe example already leaves one with the feeling that SAT might be a tough computational problem, because there are \\( 2^n \\) possible sets of truth values that we might have to explore if we were to do an exhaustive search.\n\nIt is quite clear, however, that this problem belongs to NP. Indeed, it is a decision problem. Furthermore we can easily assign a certificate to every set of clauses for which the answer to SAT is \u2018Yes\u2019, the clauses.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\nBased on the provided visual content, here is a detailed analysis according to the specified aspects:\n\n### 1.

Then one, at least, of the \\(k\\) literals \\(z_1, \\ldots, z_k\\) say \\(z_r\\) has the value \\(\\text{True}\\). Then we can satisfy all \\(k - 2\\) of the transformed clauses \\((5.4.2)\\) by assigning \\(z_r = \\text{True}\\) for \\(s < r - 2\\) and \\(z_r = \\text{False}\\) for \\(s > r - 2\\). It is easy to check that each one of the \\(k - 2\\) new clauses is satisfied.\n\nConversely, suppose that all of the new clauses are satisfied by some assignment of the truth values of the \\(x\\)s and the \\(z\\)s. We will show that at least one of the \\(x\\)s must be \\(\\text{True}\\); so that the original clause will be satisfied.\n\nSuppose, to the contrary, that all of the \\(x\\)s are false. Since, in the new clauses none of the \\(x\\)s are negated, the fact that the new clauses are satisfied tells us that they would remain satisfied without any of the \\(x\\)s. Hence the clauses \n\n\\[\n\\{x_1\\}, \\{x_2\\}, \\{x_3\\}, \\ldots, \\{x_{k-4},x_{k-3}\\}\n\\]\n\nare satisfied by the values of the \\(x\\)s. If we scan the list from left to right we discover, in turn, that \\(x_1\\) is true, \\(x_2\\) is true, and finally, much to our surprise, that \\(x_{k-3}\\) is true, and \\(x_k\\) is also false, a contradiction which establishes the truth of the claim made above.\n\nThe observation that the transformations just discussed can be carried out in polynomial time completes the proof of theorem \\(5.4.1\\).\n\nWe remark, in passing, that the problem \\(2\\text{SAT}\\) is in P.\n\nOur collection of NP-complete problems is growing. Now we have two, and that is only the beginning. We will show next how to reduce \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) to a graph coloring problem, thereby proving:\n\n## Theorem 5.4.2. The graph vertex coloring problem is NP-complete.\n\n**Proof:** Given an instance of \\(3\\text{SAT}\\), that is to say, given a collection of \\(C_i\\) clauses, involving \\(n\\) variables and having at most three literals per clause, we will construct, in polynomial time, a graph \\(G\\) with the property that its vertices can be properly colored in \\(k + 1\\) colors if and only if the given clauses are satisfiable. We will assume that \\(n > 4\\), the contrary case being trivial.\n\nThe graph \\(G\\) will have \\(3 + k\\) vertices:\n\n\\[\n\\{x_1, \\ldots, x_n\\}, \\{y_1, \\ldots, y_n\\}, \\{C_1, \\ldots, C_k\\}\n\\]\n\nNow we will describe the set of edges of \\(G\\). First each vertex \\(x_i\\) is joined to \\(C_j\\) if \\(x_i\\) is one of the literals in \\(C_j\\).\n\nMay we interrupt the proceedings to say again why we\u2019re doing all of this? You have just read the description of a certain graph \\(G\\). The graph is one that can be drawn as soon as someone hands us a \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) problem. We described the graph by listing its vertices and then listing its edges. What does the graph do for us?\n\nWe suppose that we have just bought a computer program that can decide if graphs are colorable in a given number of colors. We paid $4.95 for it, and we\u2019d like to use it. But the first problem that needs solving happens to be a \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) problem, not a graph coloring problem. We aren\u2019t so easily discouraged, though. We convert the \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) problem into a graph that is \\(k + 1\\)-colorable if and only if the original \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) problem was satisfiable. Now we can get our money\u2019s worth by running the graph coloring program even though what we really wanted to do was solve a \\(3\\text{SAT}\\) problem.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### 1.

The question is to determine whether or not there is a set of \\( K \\) vertices in \\( G \\), each of which is joined, by an edge of \\( G \\), to all of the others. \n\nEdge coloring: Given a graph \\( G \\) and an integer \\( K \\), can we color the edges of \\( G \\) in \\( K \\) colors, so that whenever two edges meet at a vertex, they will have different colors? \n\nLet us refer to an edge coloring of this kind as a proper coloring of the edges of \\( G \\). \n\nA beautiful theorem of Vizing's deals with this question. If \\( \\Delta \\) denotes the largest degree of any vertex in the given graph, the Vizing's theorem asserts that the edges of \\( G \\) can be properly colored in either \\( \\Delta \\) or \\( \\Delta + 1 \\) colors. Since it is obvious that at least \\( \\Delta \\) colors will be needed, this means that the edge chromatic number is in doubt by only one unit, for every graph \\( G \\). Nevertheless, the decision as to whether the correct answer is \\( \\Delta \\) or \\( \\Delta + 1 \\) is NP-complete. \n\nHamilton path: In a given graph \\( G \\), is there a path that visits every vertex of \\( G \\) exactly once? \n\nTarget sum: Given a finite set of positive integers whose sum is \\( S \\)? The above list, together with SAT, 3SAT, Travelling Salesman and Graph Coloring, constitutes a modest sampling of the class of these seemingly intractable problems. Of course, it must not be assumed that every problem that \"sounds like\" an NP-complete problem is necessarily so hard. If for example we ask for an Euler path instead of a Hamilton path (i.e., if we want to traverse edges rather than vertices) the problem would no longer be NP-complete, and in fact it would be in P, thanks to theorem 1.6.1. \n\nAs another example, the fact that one can find the edge connectivity of a given graph in polynomial time (see section 3.8) is rather amazing considering the quite difficult appearance of the problem. One of our motivations for including the network flow algorithms in this book was, indeed, to show how very sophisticated algorithms can sometimes prove that seemingly hard problems are in fact computationally tractable. \n\n## Exercises for section 5.4 \n\n1. Is the claim that we made and proved above (just after (5.4.2)) identical with the statement that the clause (5.4.1) is satisfiable if and only if the clauses (5.4.2) are simultaneously satisfiable? Discuss. \n2. Is the claim that we made and proved above (just after (5.4.2)) identical with the statement that the Boolean expression (5.4.1) is equal to the product of the Boolean expressions (5.4.2) in the sense that their truth values are identical on every set of inputs? Discuss. \n3. Let it be desired to find out if a given graph \\( G \\) of \\( V \\) vertices, can be vertex colored in \\( K \\) colors. If we transform the problem into an instance of SAT, exactly how many clauses will there be? \n\n## 5.5 Half a loaf ... \n\nIf we simply want to solve an NP-complete problem, then we are faced with a very long computation. Is there anything that can be done to lighten the load? In a number of cases various kinds of probabilistic and approximate algorithms have been developed, some very ingenious, and these may often be quite serviceable, as we have already seen in the case of primality testing. Here are some of the strategies of \"near\" solutions that have been developed. \n\n### Type 1: *Almost surely ...* \n\nSuppose we have an NP-complete problem that asks if there is a certain kind of substructure embedded inside a given structure. Then we may be able to develop an algorithm with the following properties: \n(a) It always runs in polynomial time \n(b) When it finds a solution then that solution is always a correct one \n(c) It doesn\u2019t always find a solution, but it \"almost always\" does, in the sense that the ratio of successes to total cases approaches unity as the size of the input grows large. \n\nAn example of such an algorithm is one that will find a Hamilton path in almost all graphs, failing to do so sometimes, but not often, and running always in polynomial time. We will describe such an algorithm below. \n\n* V. G. Vizing. On an estimate of the chromatic class of a \\( p \\)-graph (Russian), Diskret.

Instead of asking \u201cHow many proper colorings can a given graph have?\u201d, we ask \u201cHow many graphs can have a given proper coloring?\u201d\n\n## Lemma 5.7.2\n\nLet \\( C \\) be one of the \\( K^L \\) possible ways to color in \\( K \\) colors a set of \\( L \\) abstract vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\). Then the number of graphs \\( G \\) whose vertex set is that set of \\( L \\) colored vertices and for which \\( C \\) is a proper coloring of \\( G \\) is at most \\( 2^{L(L - 1)/2} \\).\n\n**Proof:** In the coloring \\( C \\), suppose \\( s_1 \\) vertices get color 1, \\( \\ldots, s_K \\) get color \\( K \\), where, of course, \\( s_1 + \\ldots + s_K = L \\). If a graph \\( G \\) is to admit \\( C \\) as a proper vertex coloring then its edges can be drawn only between vertices of different colors. The number of edges that \\( G \\) might have is therefore\n\n\\[\ns_1 s_2 + s_1 s_3 + \\ldots + s_K s_{K-1} + \\ldots + s_{K-1} s_K\n\\]\n\nfor which we have the following estimate:\n\n\\[\n\\sum_{1 \\leq j < k \\leq K} s_j s_k \\leq \\frac{1}{2} \\sum_{j=1}^K s_j^2\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= \\frac{1}{2} \\left( \\sum_{j=1}^K s_j^2 - \\sum_{j=1}^K s_j^2 \\right) = \\frac{1}{2} \\sum_{j=1}^K s_j^2\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\Rightarrow \\sum_{1 \\leq j < k \\leq K} s_j s_k \\leq \\frac{L^2}{2} - \\frac{1}{2} \\sum_{j=1}^K s_j^2 \\quad \\text{(by lemma 5.7.1)}\n\\]\n\nThe number of possible graphs \\( G \\) is therefore at most \\( 2^{(L(L - 1)/2)} \\). \n\n## Lemma 5.7.3\n\nThe total number of proper colorings in \\( K \\) colors of all graphs of \\( L \\) vertices is at most \n\n\\[\nK \\cdot L^{2^{(L-1)/K}}.\n\\]\n\n**Proof:** We are counting the pairs \\( (G, C) \\), where the graph \\( G \\) has \\( L \\) vertices and \\( C \\) is a proper coloring of \\( G \\). If we keep \\( C \\) fixed and sum on \\( G \\), then by lemma 5.7.2 the sum is at most \\( 2^{(L-1)/K} \\). Since there are \\( K \\) such \\( C \\), the proof is finished.\n\nNow let's think about a backtrack search for a \\( K \\)-coloring of a graph. Begin by using color 1 on vertex 1. Then use color 2 on vertex 2 unless \\( (1, 2) \\) is an edge, in which case use color 2. As the coloring progresses through vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\), we color each new vertex with the lowest available color number that does not cause a conflict with some vertex that has previously been colored.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Analysis of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution**\n- The visual content consists of one page from a document.\n- The page includes multiple mathematical expressions, proofs, and text explanations.\n- There is no numbering of images as there is a single continuous page of text and equations.\n\n#### 2. **Object Detection and Classification**\n- **Text and equations**: The page is composed mainly of paragraphs containing text and mathematical expressions.\n- **Mathematical Symbols**: Various symbols including summation (\u2211), inequality signs (\u2264), and fractions are present.\n- **Rectangles with numbers**: There are black rectangles with white text inside, representing the end of lemmas and proofs.\n\n#### 3. **Scene and Activity Analysis**\n- The scene is academic and mathematical, with the content focused on graph coloring and related lemmas and proofs.\n- The activities involve the presentation and proof of lemmas relating to the sum of squares and proper graph coloring.\n\n#### 4. **Text Analysis**\n- **Lemma 5.7.1**: Discusses nonnegative numbers and the sum of their squares.\n - **Significance**: The lemma concludes that the sum of the squares of nonnegative numbers under certain conditions is at least \\(L^2 / K\\).\n- **Lemma 5.7.2**: Explores a coloring problem in graph theory, providing a bound on the number of possible graphs for a given proper coloring.\n - **Significance**: This is crucial for understanding the complexity and constraints in graph coloring.\n- **Lemma 5.7.3**: Calculates the total number of proper colorings in \\(K\\) colors of all graphs with \\(L\\) vertices.\n - **Significance**: Provides a formula (\\( K^L \\cdot 2^{(L^2 - L) \\cdot (1 - 1/K) / 2} \\)) for quantifying the proper colorings, advancing theoretical knowledge in graph theory.\n- **Proofs**: Detailed mathematical proofs are provided for each lemma, following a typical structure of definitions, logical deductions, and conclusions.\n\n#### 7. **Anomaly Detection**\n- There are no apparent anomalies or unusual elements in the visual content.

Then \\( T' \\) would not be minimal because the tree that we would obtain by exchanging \\( f \\) for \\( e_i \\) in \\( T' \\) (why is it still a free tree if we do that exchange?) would be shorter, contradicting the minimality of \\( T' \\).\n\nHence \\( f \\) and \\( e \\) have the same length. In \\( T' \\) exchange \\( f \\) for \\( e_f \\). Then \\( T' \\) is still a tree, and is still a minimum spanning tree.\n\nThe index of the first edge of \\( T \\) that does not appear in \\( T' \\) is now at least \\( r + 1 \\), one unit larger than before. The process of replacing edges of \\( T \\) that do not appear in \\( T' \\) without affecting the minimality of \\( T \\) can be repeated until every edge of \\( T \\) appears in \\( T' \\), i.e., until \\( T' = T \\). Hence \\( T \\) was a minimum spanning tree.\n\nThat finishes one step of the process that leads to a polynomial time travelling salesman algorithm that finds a tour of at most twice the minimum length.\n\nThe next step involves finding an Euler circuit. Way back in theorem 1.6.1 we learned that a connected graph has an Euler circuit if and only if every vertex has even degree. Recall that the proof was recursive in nature, and immediately implies a linear time algorithm for finding Euler circuits recursively. We also noted that the proof remains valid even if we are dealing with a multigraph, that is, with a graph in which several edges are permitted between single pairs of vertices. We will in fact need that extra flexibility for the purpose at hand.\n\nWe now have the ingredients for a quick near-optimal travelling salesman tour.\n\n### Theorem 5.8.1\nThere is an algorithm that operates in polynomial time and which will return a travelling salesman tour whose length is at most twice the length of a minimum tour.\n\nHere is the algorithm. Given the \\( n \\) cities in the plane:\n1. Find a minimum spanning tree \\( T \\) for the cities.\n2. Double each edge of the tree, thereby obtaining a \u2018multitree\u2019 \\( T' \\) in which each pair of vertices there are \\( 0 \\) or \\( 2 \\) edges.\n3. Since every vertex of the doubled tree has even degree, there is an Eulerian tour \\( W \\) of the edges of \\( T' \\); find one, as in the proof of theorem 1.6.1.\n4. Now we construct the output tour of the cities. Begin at some city and follow the walk \\( W \\). However, if you haven't visited some vertex \\( x \\), go from \\( x \\) directly (via a straight line) to the next vertex of the walk \\( W \\) that you haven't visited yet. This means that you will often short-circuit portions of the walk \\( W \\) by going directly from some vertex to another that is several edges \u2018down the road.\u2019\n\nLet \\( Z' \\) be the tour that results from Step 4 above and is indeed a tour of all the cities in which each city is visited once and only once. We claim that this length is at most twice optimal.\n\nLet \\( Z \\) be an optimum tour, and let \\( e \\) be some edge of \\( Z \\). Then \\( Z - e \\) is a path that visits all of the cities. Since \\( e \\) is a tree, \\( Z - e \\) is a spanning tree of the cities, hence \\( Z - e \\) is at least as long as \\( T \\), and so \\( Z \\) is surely at least as long as \\( T \\).\n\nNext consider the length of the tour \\( Z' \\). A step of \\( Z' \\) that walks along an edge of the walk \\( W \\) has length equal to the length of that edge of \\( W \\). A step of \\( Z' \\) that short circuits several edges of \\( W \\) has length at most equal to the sum of the lengths of the edges of \\( W \\) that were short-circuited. If we sum these inequalities over all steps of \\( Z' \\) we find that the length of \\( Z' \\) is at most equal to the length of \\( W \\), which is in turn twice the length of the tree \\( T \\).\n\nIf we put all of this together we find that:\n\\[\n\\text{length}(Z) \\leq \\text{length}(Z - e) \\leq \\frac{1}{2} \\text{length}(W) \\leq 1 \\cdot \\text{length}(Z')\n\\]\nas claimed.\n\nMore recently it has been proved (Christofides, 1976) that in polynomial time we can find a TSP tour whose total length is at most \\( \\frac{3}{2} \\) as long as the original tour. The algorithm makes use of Edmonds's algorithm for maximum matching in a general graph (see the reference at the end of Chapter 3). It will be interesting to see if the factor \\( \\frac{3}{2} \\) can be further refined.\n\nPolynomial time algorithms are known for other NP-complete problems that guarantee that the answer obtained will not exceed, by more than a constant factor, the optimum answer. In some cases this guarantees apply to the difference between the answer that the algorithm gives and the best one.

The viewpoint is quite classical in spirit, and stays well within the confines of pure algebraic topology. In a sense, the book could have been written thirty or forty years ago since virtually everything in it is at least that old. However, the passage of the intervening years has helped clarify what are the most important results and techniques. For example, CW complexes have proved over time to be the most natural class of spaces for algebraic topology, so they are emphasized here much more than in the books of an earlier generation. This emphasis also illustrates the book's general slant towards geometric, rather than algebraic, aspects of the subject. The geometry of algebraic topology is so pretty, it would seem a pity to slight it and to miss all the intuition it provides.\n\nAt the elementary level, algebraic topology separates naturally into the two broad channels of homology and homotopy. This material is here divided into four chapters, roughly according to increasing sophistication, with homotopy split between Chapters 1 and 4, and homology and its mirror variant cohomology in Chapters 2 and 3. These four chapters do not have to be read in this order, however. One could begin with homology and perhaps continue with cohomology before turning to homotopy. In the other direction, one could postpone homology and cohomology until after parts of Chapter 4. If this latter strategy is pushed to its natural limit, homology and cohomology can be developed just as branches of homotopy theory. Appealing as this approach is from a strictly logical point of view, it places more demands on the reader, and since readability is one of the first priorities of the book, this homotopic interpretation of homology and cohomology is described only after the latter theories have been developed independently of homotopy theory.\n\nPreceding the four main chapters there is a preliminary Chapter 0 introducing some of the basic geometric concepts and constructions that play a central role in both the homological and homotopical sides of the subject. This can either be read before the other chapters or skipped and referred back to later for specific topics as they become needed in the subsequent chapters.\n\nEach of the four main chapters concludes with a selection of additional topics that the reader can sample at will, independent of the basic core of the book contained in the earlier parts of the chapters. Many of these extra topics are in fact rather important in the overall scheme of algebraic topology, though they might not fit into the time\n####################\nFile: Algebraic%20Topology%20AT-toc.pdf\n\nPage: 9\n\nContext: # Standard Notations\n\n**Z, Q, R, C, H, O** : the integers, rationals, reals, complexes, quaternions, and octonions.\n\n- **Zn** : the integers mod n.\n- **Rn** : n-dimensional Euclidean space.\n- **Cn** : complex n-space.\n\nIn particular, **R^0 = {0} = C^0**, zero-dimensional vector spaces.\n\n- **I = [0, 1]** : the unit interval.\n- **Sn** : the unit sphere in **R^(n+1)**, all points of distance 1 from the origin.\n- **Dn** : the unit disk or ball in **R^n**, all points of distance \u2264 1 from the origin.\n- **\u2202Dn = Sn-1** : the boundary of the n-disk.\n- **en** : an n-cell, homeomorphic to the open n-disk **Dn - \u2202Dn**.\n\nIn particular, **D^0** and **e^0** consist of a single point since **R^0 = {0}**. But **S^0** consists of two points since it is **\u2202D^1**.\n\n- **1** : the identity function from a set to itself.\n- **|S|** : disjoint union of sets or spaces.\n- **\u00d7, \u220f** : product of sets, groups, or spaces.\n- **\u2245** : isomorphism.\n\n- **A \u2282 B** or **B \u2283 A** : set-theoretic containment, not necessarily proper.\n- **A \u21aa B** : the inclusion map **A \u2192 B** when **A \u2282 B**.\n- **A - B** : set-theoretic difference, all points in **A** that are not in **B**.\n- **iff** : if and only if.\n\nThere are also a few notations used in this book that are not completely standard. The union of a set **X** with a family of sets **Yi**, with **i** ranging over some index set, is usually written simply as **X \u222a Yi** rather than something more elaborate such as **X \u222a (\u222ai Yi)**. Intersections and other similar operations are treated in the same way.\n\nDefinitions of mathematical terms are given within paragraphs of text, rather than displayed separately like theorems. These definitions are indicated by the use of **boldface** type for the more important terms, with italics being used for less important or simpler definitions as well as simple emphasis as in standard written prose. Terms defined using boldface appear in the Index, with the page number where the definition occurs listed first.\n####################\nFile: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 1\n\nContext: # The Trillia Lectures on Mathematics\n\n## An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers\n\n978-1-937-75001-1\n####################\nFile: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 2\n\nContext: # The Trillia Lectures on Mathematics\n\n## An Introduction to the \n# Theory of Numbers\n\n### Leo Moser\n\n---\n\n**The Trillia Group** \nWest Lafayette, IN\n####################\nFile: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 3\n\nContext: # Copyright Notice\n\nAn Introduction to the Theory of Numbers \n\u00a9 1967 Leo MosER \n\nDistributed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. \nInformally, this license allows you to:\n\n- Share: copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format\n- Adapt: remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially, under the following conditions:\n - **Attribution**: You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This is base \\( 3 \\) can be written 1010 so that \\( s_3(10) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 2 = \\frac{10}{3} - 2 \\). We leave the proof of the general case as an exercise.\n\nWe next consider the composition of \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\) as a product of primes. Let \\( E_p(n) \\) denote the exponent of \\( p \\) in \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\):\n\n\\[\nE_p(n) = \\sum_{i=1}^\\infty \\left( \\left\\lfloor \\frac{n}{p^i} \\right\\rfloor - \\left\\lfloor \\frac{2n}{p^i} \\right\\rfloor \\right)\n\\]\n\nClearly, \n\n\\[\nE_p(n) = s_p(2n) - 2s_p(n) \\Rightarrow \\sum_{i=1}^\\infty \\left\\{ \\left\\lfloor \\frac{2n}{p^i} \\right\\rfloor - \\left\\lfloor \\frac{n}{p^i} \\right\\rfloor \\right\\}\n\\]\n\nOur alternative expression for \\( s_p(n) \\) yields\n\n\\[\nE_p(n) = 2s_p(n) - s_p(2n)\n\\]\n\nIn the first expression each term in the sum can easily be seen to be 0 or 1 and the number of terms does not exceed the exponent of the highest power of \\( p \\) that does not exceed \\( n \\). Hence\n\n### Lemma 1.\n\\( E_p(n) \\leq \\log_p(2n) \\).\n\n### Lemma 6.\nThe contribution of \\( p \\) to \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\) does not exceed \\( 2n \\).\n\nThe following three lemmas are immediate.\n\n### Lemma 7.\nEvery prime in the range \\( k < p < 2n \\) appears exactly once in \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\).\n\n### Lemma 8.\nNo prime in the range \\( p > 2n \\) appears more than once in \\( \\binom{n}{k} \\).\n\n### Lemma 9.\nAlthough it is not needed in what follows, it is amusing to note that since \\( E_p(2n) = 2s_p(2n) - s_p(n) \\) we have \\( E_p(n) = s_p(n) \\).\n\nAs a first application of the lemmas, we prove the elegant result:\n\n### Theorem 1.\n\\[\n\\prod_{p \\leq x} p < 4^x.\n\\]\n\nThe proof is by induction on \\( x \\). We assume the theorem for integers \\( < n \\) and consider the cases \\( n = 2n \\) and \\( n = 2n-1 \\):\n\n\\[\n\\prod_{p \\leq 2n} p < \\prod_{p \\leq 2n-1} p < 4^n.\n\\]\n\nNext, we notice:\n\n### Theorem 2.\n\\[\n\\tau(n) \\sim \\frac{c_n}{\\log n}.\n\\]\n\nClearly, \n\\[\n4^n > \\prod_{p \\leq n} p > \\prod_{p \\leq 2n-1} p \\quad \\text{for } p > \\sqrt{n} .\n\\]\n\nTaking logarithms, we obtain\n\n\\[\nn \\log 4 > \\left( \\tau(n) - \\tau(\\sqrt{n}) \\right) \\frac{1}{2} \\log n \n\\]\nor \n\\[\n\\tau(n) > \\frac{\\log 2}{\\log n} - \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{k}} \\frac{c_n}{\\log n}.\n\\]\n\nNext, we prove\n\n### Theorem 3.\n\\[\n\\tau(n) \\sim \\frac{c_n}{\\log n}.\n\\]\n\nFor this we use Lemmas 6 and 2. From these we obtain \n\n\\[\n\\left( \\frac{(2n)^{\\frac{n}{2}}}{n} \\right) > \\tau(n) + \\frac{d_n}{2} \\log 2n.\n\\]\n\nTaking logarithms, we find that \n\n\\[\n(\\tau(n)+1) \\log 2n > \\log(2^n) = 2n \\log 2.\n\\]\n```\n####################\nFile: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 25\n\nContext: ```markdown\n# Chapter 4.

In particular, it is desirable to have a theorem of the following type. If \\( \u03bb \\) is of degree n then \n\n\\[\n\\left| \u03bb - \\frac{c}{q} \\right| < \\frac{M}{q^n}\n\\]\n\nhas at most a finite number of solutions. Here \\( f(\u03bb) \\) may be taken as \\( \u03bb \\) by Liouville's theorem. Can it be decreased? Thus, about 1909, first showed that one could take \\( f(\u03bb) = \u03bb - 4 \\) and Siegel (1921) showed that we can take \\( f(\u03bb) = 2\\sqrt{\u03bb} \\). This was slightly improved by Dyson and Schneider to \\( \\sqrt{2n} \\). Very recently (1955), F. R. Hoch created a sensation by proving that we can take \\( f(\u03bb) = 2 + \u03b5 \\). His proof is long and complicated. That we cannot take \\( f(\u03bb) = 2 \\) (since Roth's result is in a very best possible) can be seen from the following result due to Dirichlet.\n\nConsider\n\n\\[\n\\frac{1}{10} + \\frac{1}{10^2} + \\cdots + \\frac{1}{10^n} \\to \u03bb_n\n\\]\n\nas well as the real number \\( \u03bb = \u03bb_\u221e \\). It is easily checked that \\( |\u03bb_n - \u03bb| < \\frac{c}{n} \\) for every \\( n \\). Hence \\( \u03bb \\) is approximable to order n for any \\( n \\) and is not algebraic.\n```\n####################\nFile: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 47\n\nContext: ```markdown\n84 Unsolved Problems and Conjectures\n\n20.
