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: Feedback\n\nPage: 1\n\nContext: Feedback:\n \n\nPrompt:\nhow much is a fried chicken in \"Pakens\"?\n\nResponse:\nThe provided context is from two books on mathematics, one on number theory and the other on algorithms and complexity.

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.

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\u2019t know many things that we\u2019d like to know in this field, it isn\u2019t 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 quantities resides in the later chapters of the book.\n\nChapter 2 deals with recursive algorithms and the analyses 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: 10\n\nContext: The last symbol in the asymptotic set that we will need is the \u2018\u03a9.\u2019 In a nutshell, \u2018\u03a9\u2019 is the negation of \u2018o.\u2019 That is to say, f(x) \u2208 \u03a9(g(x)) means that it is not true that f(x) = o(g(x)). In the study of algorithms for computers, the \u2018\u03a9\u2019 is used when we want to express the thought that a certain calculation takes at least so-and-so long to do. For instance, we can multiply together two n \u00d7 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^2.81). People know of even faster ways to do that job, but one thing that can be sure of is this: nobody will ever be able to write a matrix multiplication program that will multiply pairs n \u00d7 n matrices with fewer than n^2 computational steps, because whatever program we write will have to look at the input data, and there are n^2 entries in the input matrices.\n\nThus, a computing time of cn^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 x n matrices requires \u03a9(n^2) time.\n\nThe exact definition of the \u2018\u03a9\u2019 that was given above is actually rather detailed. 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 f = g(x) means that f = g - 0, the symbol f = \u03a9(g) means that f/g does not approach zero. If we assume that g takes positive values only, which is usually the case in practice, then to say that f/g does not approach 0 is to say that x > 0 and an infinite sequence of values of x, tending to \u221e, along which |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```\n\n- **Text Analysis:**\n\n - The text is centered on mathematical preliminaries, focusing on asymptotic notations used in analyzing the growth of functions.

Among commonly occurring functions \\( f \\) that grow without bound as \\( x \\to \\infty \\), perhaps the slowest growing ones are functions like \\( \\log x \\) or maybe \\( (\\log x)^k \\) for 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 \u201csnails\u201d above is \\( \\text{e}^x \\). After all, for \\( x = 1,000,000 \\), it\u2019s 2.3e+434, so 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 would 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 \\), we note that this 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{-0.39\\,x^{-0.9}}{1/x} = 0.1\\,x^{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 in the sense that we can say that \\( x^{0.1} \\) grows faster than \\( \\log x \\).\n\nTo continue up the scale of rates of growth, we meet \\( x^2, x^{2.5}, x^{15} \\log^2 x \\), etc., and then we encounter functions that grow faster than every fixed power of \\( x \\), just as \\( e^x \\) grows slower than \\( x \\).\n\nConsider \\( e^{x^2} \\). Since this is the same as \\( e^{x^2} \\), it will obviously grow faster than \\( x^{1000} \\), in fact it will be larger than \\( x^{1000} \\) as soon as \\( x > 1000 \\), etc. (as soon as \\( x > 2^{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^x \\) for every constant \\( c \\) is said to be of moderately exponential growth if for every \\( \\epsilon > 0 \\) we have \\( f(x) = \\Omega(e^{c \\cdot x}) \\) and for every \\( c > 0 \\) we have \\( f(x) = O(e^{c \\cdot x}) \\).\n\nBeyond the range of moderately exponential growth are the functions that grow exponentially fast. Typical of such functions are \\( 10^{3.0} \\), \\( 2^{2.7} \\), and so forth. Formally, we have the following:\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 \\( \\epsilon \\) such that \\( f(x) = O(c^x) \\).\n\nIf we clutter up a function of exponential growth with smaller functions then we will not change the fact that it is of exponential growth. Thus \\( e^{x^2} + x^{37} \\) remains of exponential growth, because \\( e^x \\) is, all 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 \\( 2^n \\), which grows much faster than \\( n \\). The growth ranges that are of the most concern to computer scientists are \u201cbetween\u201d 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 symbols of asymptotics that are used to compare the rates of growth of pairs of functions, and we have dismissed the parsing order of rapidity of growth, so that we have a small catalogue of functions that grow slowly, medium-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### Detailed Analysis of the Provided Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

How fast does \\( f(n) \\) grow when \\( n \\) is large?\n\nNotice at once that among the \\( n \\) terms in the sum that defines \\( f(n) \\), the biggest one is the last one, namely \\( n^2 \\). Since there are \\( n \\) terms in the sum and the biggest one is only \\( n^2 \\), it is certainly true that \\( f(n) = O(n^3) \\), and even more, that \\( f(n) \\sim \\frac{n^3}{3} \\) for all \\( n \\geq 1 \\).\n\nSuppose we wanted more precise information about the growth of \\( f(n) \\), such as a statement like \\( f(n) \\sim \\frac{n^3}{3} \\). How might we make such a better estimate?\n\nThe best way to begin is to visualize the sum in (1.1) as shown in Fig. 1.1.1.\n\n![Fig. 1.1.1: How to overestimate a sum](image_path)\n\nIn that figure we see the graph of the curve \\( y = x^2 \\) in the \\( x-y \\) plane. Further, there is a rectangle drawn over every interval of unit length in the range from \\( 1 \\) to \\( n \\). The rectangles all lie under the curve. Consequently, the total area of all of the rectangles is smaller than the area under the curve, which is to say that\n\n$$\n\\sum_{j=1}^{n} j^2 \\leq \\int_{1}^{n} x^2 dx\n$$ (1.2)\n\nIf we compare (1.2) and (1.1.1) we notice that we have proved that \\( f(n) \\leq ((n+1)^3 - 1)/3 \\).\n\nNow we're going to get a lower bound on \\( f(n) \\) in the same way. This time we use the setup in Fig. 1.2, where we again show the curve \\( y = x^2 \\), but this time we have drawn the rectangles so they lie above the curve.\n\nFrom the picture we see immediately that\n\n$$\n1^2 + 2^2 + \\cdots + n^2 \\geq \\int_{1}^{n} x^2 dx = \\frac{n^3}{3}. \n$$ (1.3)\n\nNow our function \\( f(n) \\) has been bounded on both sides, rather tightly. What we know about it is that \n\n$$\n\\forall n \\geq 1: \\quad n^3/3 \\leq f(n) \\leq ((n+1)^3 - 1)/3.\n$$\n\nFrom this we have immediately that \\( f(n) \\sim \\frac{n^3}{3} \\), which gives us quite a good idea of the rate of growth of \\( f(n) \\) when \\( n \\) is large.

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.

(This exercise is a warmup for exercise 7.) Below there appear several mathematical propositions. In each case, write a proposition that is the negation of the given one.

The usual decimal system represents numbers by using the digits \\( 0, 1, \\ldots, 9 \\).

If we write 237, for example, then that means that we want 2 \\( 10^{2} \\)s and 3 \\( 10^{1} \\)s and 7 \\( 10^{0} \\)s.\n\nIn general, if we write out the string of digits that represents a number in the decimal system, as \\( d_{m}d_{m-1} \\ldots d_{0} \\), then the number that is being represented by that string of digits is \n\n\\[\nn = \\sum_{i=0}^{m} d_{i} \\cdot 10^{i}.\n\\]\n\nNow let's try the binary system. Instead of using 10's we're going to use 2's. So we imagine that the powers of 2 are displayed below, as \n\n\\[\n\\ldots, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.\n\\]\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination\n\n1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - Located at the top part 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. This is very convenient if you\u2019re a computer or a computer designer, because the digits can be determined by some component being either \u2018on\u2019 (digit 1) or \u2018off\u2019 (digit 0). The binary digits of a number are called its bits or its bit string.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Provided Visual Content\n\n**Localization and Attribution:**\n- **Single Image Identified**: The content appears to be a single-page excerpt from a mathematical text.\n- **Page Number**: The image corresponds to page number 12.\n\n**Text Analysis:**\n- **Text Extraction**:\n 1. **Title**: \"Chapter 1: Mathematical Preliminaries\"\n 2. **Paragraphs**:\n - Discusses the representation of numbers, specifically focusing on binary (base 2) and its comparison with other bases such as base 10 and base 16.\n - Highlights the importance of representation in binary digits (0 and 1) and the unique representation of each number.\n - Provides an in-depth explanation with examples, e.g., the number 13 represented in binary as (1101)\u2082.\n 3. **Theorem 1.2.1**: \"Let b > 1 be a positive integer (the \u2018base\u2019).

When confronted with a series that is similar to, but not identical with, a known series, write down the known series as an equation, with the series on one side and its sum on the other. Even though the unknown series involves a particular value of \\(x\\), in this case \\(x = 2\\), keep the known series with its variable unrestricted. Then reach for an appropriate tool that will be applied to both sides of that equation, and whose result will be that the known series will have been changed into the one whose sum we need.\n\nIn this case, since (1.3.7) reminds us of (1.3.1), we\u2019ll begin by writing down (1.3.1) again,\n\n\\[\n(1 - x)^{-n} = 1 + x + x^2 + \\cdots + x^{n-1} \\tag{1.3.8}\n\\]\n\nDon\u2019t replace \\(x\\) by \\(2\\) yet, just walk up to the equation (1.3.8) carrying your tool kit and ask what kind of surgery you could do to both sides of (1.3.8) that would be helpful in evaluating the unknown (1.3.7).\n\nWe are going to reach into our tool kit and pull out the \\(d/dx\\). In other words, we are going to differentiate (1.3.8). The reason for choosing differentiation is that it will put the missing multipliers \\(1, 2, 3, \\ldots, N\\) into (1.3.8). After differentiation, (1.3.8) becomes\n\n\\[\n1 + 2x + 3x^2 + 4x^3 + \\cdots + (n - 1)x^{n-2} = \\frac{1 - n x^{n-1} + (n - 1)x^n}{(1-x)^2} \\tag{1.3.9}\n\\]\n\nNow it\u2019s easy. To evaluate the sum (1.3.7), all we have to do is to substitute \\(x = 2\\), \\(n = N + 1\\) in (1.3.9), to obtain, after simplifying the right-hand side,\n\n\\[\n1 + 2 + 2^2 + 4 + 8 + \\cdots + 2^{N-1} = 1 + (N - 1)2^N. \\tag{1.3.10}\n\\]\n\nNext try this one:\n\n\\[\n\\frac{1}{2^3} + \\frac{1}{3^3} + \\cdots \\tag{1.3.11}\n\\]\n\nIf we rewrite the series using summation signs, it becomes\n\n\\[\n\\sum_{j=1}^\\infty \\frac{1}{j^3}.\n\\]\n\nComparison with the series \\(200\\) shows great resemblance to the species (1.3.6). In fact, if we put \\(x = \\frac{1}{3}\\) in (1.3.6), it tells us that\n\n\\[\n\\sum_{j=1}^\\infty \\frac{1}{j^3} = 1 - \\log(3/2). \\tag{1.3.12}\n\\]\n\nThe desired sum (1.3.11) is the result of dropping the term with \\(j = 1\\) from (1.3.12), which shows that the sum in (1.3.11) is equal to \\(\\log(3/2) - 1\\).\n\nIn general, suppose that \\(f(x) = \\sum a_n x^n\\) is some series that we know. Then \\(\\sum n a_n x^{n-1} = f'(x)\\) and \\(\\sum a_n x^n = x f'(x)\\). In other words, if the \\(n\\)-th coefficient is multiplied by \\(n\\), then the function changes from \\(f(x)\\) to \\(x f'(x)\\). If we apply the rule again, we find that multiplying the \\(n\\)-th coefficient of a power series by \\(n^2\\) changes the sum from \\(f(x)\\) to \\(\\frac{d^2}{dx^2} f(x)\\). That is,\n\n\\[\n\\sum_{j=0}^\\infty j^2 x^j = \\left( x \\frac{d}{dx} \\right)^2 f(x) = \\left(x \\frac{d}{dx} \\right) f(x) = \\frac{d}{dx} \\left( x f'(x) \\right) = (x^2 + x) f'. \n\\]\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

Suppose we are to find an infinite sequence of numbers \\(x_0, x_1, \\ldots\\) by means of\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} = c x_n, \\quad (n \\geq 0; x_0 = 1). \\tag{1.41}\n\\]\n\nThis relation tells us that \\(x_1 = c x_0\\), and \\(x_2 = c x_1\\), etc., and therefore \\(x_n = c^n x_0\\).\n\nWe say that the solution of the recurrence relation (i.e., \"difference equation\") (1.41) is given by \\(x_n = c^n\\) for all \\(n \\geq 0\\). Equation (1.41) is a first-order recurrence relation because a new value of the sequence is computed from just one preceding value (i.e., \\(x_{n+1}\\) is obtained solely from \\(x_n\\) and does not involve \\(x_{n-1}\\) or any earlier values). \n\nObserve the format of the equation (1.41). The parenthetical remarks are essential. The first one \\(x > 0\\) tells us for what values of \\(n\\) the recurrence formula is valid, and the second one \\(x_0 = 1\\) gives the starting value. If one of these is missing, the solution may not be uniquely determined. The recurrence relation\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} = x_n + x_{n-1} \\tag{1.42}\n\\]\n\nneeds two starting values in order to \"get going\"; but it is missing both of those starting values and the range of \\(n\\). Consequently (1.42) (which is a second-order recurrence) does not uniquely determine the sequence.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

After substituting in (1.49) and simplifying, we find\n\n\\[\ny_{n+1} = y_n + \\frac{1}{3^{n+1}} \\quad (n \\geq 0; \\, y_0 = 0).\n\\]\n\nNow by summation,\n\n\\[\ny_n = \\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} \\frac{1}{3^{j+1}} \\quad (n \\geq 0).\n\\]\n\nFinally, since \\( x_n = 3^n y_n \\), we obtain the solution of (1.49) in the form\n\n\\[\nx_n = 3^n \\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} \\frac{1}{3^{j+1}} \\quad (n \\geq 0). \\tag{1.40}\n\\]\n\nThis is quite an explicit answer, but the summation can, in fact, be completely removed by the same method that you used to solve exercise 1(c) of section 1.3 (try it). \n\nThat pretty well takes care of first-order recurrence relations of the form \\( x_{n+1} = b x_n + c_n \\), and it\u2019s time to move on to linear second-order (homogeneous) recurrence relations with constant coefficients. These are of the form\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} = a x_n + b x_{n-1} \\quad (n \\geq 1; \\, x_0 \\text{ and } x_1 \\text{ given}). \\tag{1.11}\n\\]\n\nIf we think back to differential equations of second-order with constant coefficients, we recall that there are always solutions of the form \\( y(t) = e^{rt} \\) where \\( r \\) is constant. Hence the road to the solution of such differential equations begins by trying a solution of that form and seeing what the constant or constants \\( r \\) turn out to be. \n\nAnalogously, equation (1.11) calls for a trial solution of the form \\( x_n = r^n \\). If we substitute \\( x_n = r^n \\) in (1.11) and cancel a common factor of \\( r^{n-1} \\) we obtain a quadratic equation for \\( r \\), namely\n\n\\[\nr^2 = a r + b. \\tag{1.12}\n\\]\n\nUsually this quadratic equation will have two distinct roots, say \\( r_1 \\) and \\( r_2 \\), and then the general solution of (1.11) will look like\n\n\\[\nx_n = c_1 r_1^n + c_2 r_2^n \\quad (n = 0, 1, 2, \\ldots). \\tag{1.13}\n\\]\n\nThe constants \\( c_1 \\) and \\( c_2 \\) will be determined so that \\( x_0 \\) and \\( x_1 \\) have their assigned values.\n\n## Example\n\nThe recurrence for the Fibonacci numbers is\n\n\\[\nF_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1} \\quad (n \\geq 2; \\, F_1 = 1). \\tag{1.14}\n\\]\n\nFollowing the recipe that was described above, we look for a solution in the form \\( F_n = r^n \\). After substituting in (1.14) and cancelling common factors we find that the quadratic equation for \\( r \\) is, in this case, \\( r^2 = r + 1 \\). \n\nIf we denote the two roots by \\( r_1 = \\frac{1+\\sqrt{5}}{2} \\) and \\( r_2 = \\frac{1-\\sqrt{5}}{2} \\), then we find that the general solution to the Fibonacci recurrence has been obtained, and it has the form (1.13). It remains to determine the constants \\( c_1 \\) and \\( c_2 \\) from the initial conditions \\( F_0 = 0 \\) and \\( F_1 = 1 \\).\n\nFrom the form of the general solution we have \\( F_0 = c_1 + c_2 \\) and \\( F_1 = c_1 r_1 + c_2 r_2 \\).

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\u2019s 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}/\\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 \\( \\alpha^2 - \\alpha \\omega - 1 = 0 \\) 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\nConsider the recurrence\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} = 2x_n - x_{n-1} \\quad (n \\geq 1; \\quad x_0 = 5; \\quad x_1 = 5).\n\\]\n(1.4.16)\n\nIf we try a solution of the type \\( x_n = \\alpha^n \\), then we find that it satisfies the quadratic equation \\( \\alpha^2 = 2\\alpha - 1 \\). Hence the two roots are \\( 1 \\) and \\( 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, \\quad c_2 = 4 \\), and therefore the complete solution of the recurrence (1.4.16) is given by \\( x_n = 4n + 1 \\).\n\nNow let\u2019s look at recurrent inequalities, like this one:\n\n\\[\nx_{n+1} \\leq x_n + x_{n-1} + n^2 \\quad (n \\geq 1; \\quad x_0 = 0; \\quad x_1 = 0).\n\\]\n(1.4.17)\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 \\( x_n \\leq K n^r \\). So suppose it is true that \\( x_n \\leq K n^r \\) for all \\( n = 0, 1, 2, ..., N \\). Then from (1.4.17) with \\( n = N \\) we find\n\n\\[\nx_{N+1} \\leq K N^r + K N^{r-1} + N^2.\n\\]\n\nLet \\( c \\) be the positive real root of the equation \\( z^2 = c + 1 \\) and suppose that \\( \\alpha > c \\). Then \\( \\alpha^2 > \\alpha + 1 \\), say, where \\( t > 0 \\). Hence,\n\n\\[\nx_{N+1} \\leq K N^{r-1}(1 + \\alpha) + N^2 = K N^{r-1}(\\alpha - t) + N^2 = K^{N+1} \\left( K^{r-1} - N^r \\right).\n\\]\n(1.4.18)\n\nIn order to ensure that \\( x_{N+1} < K^{N+1}N^2 \\), we need to fix \\( K \\).\n\n\\[\nK > \\max \\left( \\frac{N^2}{K^{r-1}} \\right).\n\\]\n(1.4.19)\n\nIn which the right member is clearly finite; the inductive step will go through. The conclusion is that (1.4.17) implies that for every fixed \\( t > 0 \\), \\( x_n = O(n^{c+\\epsilon}) \\), where \\( c = (1 + \\sqrt{5})/2 \\). The same argument applies to the general situation that is expressed in\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution**\n- **Image on Page:**\n - This content is located centrally on the page and spans the entire document width.\n - Only one image is present on the entire page.\n - **Image Number: 1**\n\n#### 2. **Object Detection and Classification**\n- **Detected Objects:**\n - **Text:**\n - The content is predominantly textual, with paragraphs of written information.\n - **Formulas and Equations:**\n - Several mathematical expressions and formulas are present throughout the content.\n - **Example Box:**\n - There is a boxed example with mathematical steps and logical explanations.\n\n#### 3. **Scene and Activity Analysis**\n- **Scene Description:**\n - The scene is an academic or instructional document, likely a textbook or a study guide on mathematics, particularly focusing on recurrence relations and asymptotics in mathematical sequences.\n - **Main Actors and Actions:**\n - **Main Actors:**\n - The document appears to address the reader directly, guiding them through mathematical concepts.\n - **Actions:**\n - Explaining mathematical theories.\n - Solving equations.\n - Providing proofs and examples.\n\n#### 4. **Text Analysis**\n- **Extracted Text:**\n - **Introduction:**\n - Discussion begins with the Fibonacci numbers and transitions into more complex topics involving asymptotic analysis and recurrence relations.\n - **Main Body:**\n - The text contains formulas (1.4.15), (1.4.16), (1.4.17), (1.4.18), and (1.4.19), discussing the growth of sequences defined by recurrence relations.\n - An example illustrates solving a basic recurrence relation.\n - **Significance:**\n - The text aims to educate the reader on solving recurrence relations, particularly those similar to differential equations with repeated roots.

Show by an example that the conclusion of theorem 1.4.1 may be false if the phrase \u2018for every fixed \u03f50 > 0...\u2019 were replaced by \u2018for every fixed \u03f5 > 0 ...\u2019.\n 10. In theorem 1.4.1 we find the phrase: \u2018\u2026the positive real root of \u2026\u2019. 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\n \n For a given positive integer n, consider the set {1,2,...,n}. 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.

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 refer to the coefficients in row \\( n \\) of Pascal's triangle, that is, \n\n\\[\n\\begin{pmatrix}\nn \\\\\n0\n\\end{pmatrix},\\ \n\\begin{pmatrix}\nn \\\\\n1\n\\end{pmatrix},\\ \n\\ldots,\\ \n\\begin{pmatrix}\nn \\\\\nn\n\\end{pmatrix}\n\\]\n\nas the coefficients of order \\( n \\). Then, by (1.5.2) (or by (1.5.4) with \\( x = 1 \\)), the sum of all the coefficients of order \\( n \\) is also fairly apparent, from an inspection of Table 1.5.1, that the largest one(s) of the coefficients of order \\( n \\) is (are) the one(s) in the middle.\n\nMore precisely, if \\( n \\) is odd, then the largest coefficients of order \\( n \\) are \\( \\binom{n}{(n-1)/2} \\) and \\( \\binom{n}{(n+1)/2} \\); whereas if \\( n \\) is even, the largest one is uniquely \\( \\binom{n}{n/2} \\).\n\nIt will be important, in some of the applications to algorithms later on in this book, for us to be able to pick out the largest term in a sequence of this kind, so let's see how we could prove that the biggest coefficients are the ones cited above.\n\nFor \\( k \\) fixed, we will compute the ratio of the \\( (k+1)^{th} \\) coefficient of order \\( n \\) to the \\( k^{th} \\) coefficient of order \\( n \\):\n\n\\[\n\\text{Ratio} = \\frac{\\binom{n}{k+1}}{\\binom{n}{k}} = \\frac{n!/(k+1)!(n-k-1)!}{n!/(k)!(n-k)!} = \\frac{(k+1)(n-k)}{(n-k-1)(k+1)} = \\frac{n-k}{k+1}\n\\]\n\nand is \\( > 1 \\) if \\( k < (n - 1)/2 \\), as claimed.\n\nOK, the biggest coefficients are in the middle, but how big are they?

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 have therefore proved that every graph has an even number of vertices whose degrees are odd.*\n\nIn Fig. 1.6.1 the degrees of the vertices are \\{2, 2, 2, 2\\}, and the sum of the degrees is \\( 2 = 2|E(G)| \\).\n\nNext we\u2019re going to define a number of concepts of graph theory that will be needed in later chapters. A fairly large number of terms will now be defined, in rather a brief space. Don\u2019t try to absorb them all now, but read through them and look them over again when the concepts are actually used, in the sequel.\n\n1. **A path \\( P \\) in a graph \\( G \\)** is a walk from one vertex of \\( G \\) to another, where at each step the walk uses an edge of the graph. More formally, it is a sequence \\( \\{v_1, v_2, \\ldots, v_k\\} \\) of vertices of \\( G \\) such that \\( v_i v_{i+1} \\in E(G) \\).\n\n2. **A graph is connected** if there is a path between every pair of its vertices.\n\n3. **A path \\( P \\) is simple** if its vertices are all distinct, Hamiltonian if it is simple and visits every vertex of \\( G \\) exactly once, Eulerian if it uses every edge of \\( G \\) exactly once.\n\n4. **A subgraph of a graph \\( G \\)** is a subset \\( S \\) of its vertices to gather with a subset of those edges of \\( G \\) both of whose endpoints lie in \\( S \\). An induced subgraph of \\( G \\) is a subset \\( S \\) of the vertices of \\( G \\) together with all edges of \\( G \\) both of whose endpoints lie in \\( S \\). We would then speak of \"the subgraph induced by \\( S \\).\"\n\n5. In a graph \\( G \\) we can define an equivalence relation on the vertices as follows. Say that \\( u \\) and \\( v \\) are equivalent if there is a path of \\( G \\) that joins them. Let \\( S \\) be one of the equivalence classes of vertices of \\( G \\) under this relation. The subgraph of \\( G \\) that \\( S \\) induces is called a **connected component** of the graph \\( G \\). A graph is connected if and only if it has exactly one connected component.\n\n6. **A cycle** is a closed path, i.e., one in which \\( v_1 = v_k \\). A cycle is a circuit if it is the only repeated vertex in it. We may say that a circuit is a simple cycle.

A tree is a graph that is connected and has no cycles. \n2. A tree is a graph \\( G \\) that is connected and for which \\( |E(G)| = |V(G)| - 1 \\). \n3. A tree is a graph \\( G \\) with the property that between every pair of distinct vertices there is a unique path. \n\nIf \\( G \\) is a graph and \\( S \\subseteq V(G) \\), then \\( S \\) is an independent set of vertices of \\( G \\) if no two of the vertices in \\( S \\) are adjacent in \\( G \\). An independent set \\( S \\) is maximal if it is not a proper subset of another independent set of vertices of \\( G \\). Dually, if a vertex subset \\( S \\) induces a complete graph, then we speak of a complete subgraph of \\( G \\). A maximal complete subgraph of \\( G \\) is called a clique.\n\nA graph might be labeled or unlabelled. The vertices of a labeled graph are numbered \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, n \\). One difference that this makes is that there are a lot more labeled graphs than there are unlabelled graphs. There are, for example, 3 labeled graphs that have 3 vertices and 1 edge. They are shown in Fig. 1.6.7.\n\n![Fig. 1.6.7: Three labeled graphs...](image_link_here)\n\nThere is, however, only 1 unlabelled graph that has 3 vertices and 1 edge, as shown in Fig. 1.6.8.\n\n![Fig. 1.6.8: ... but only one unlabelled graph](image_link_here)\n\nMost counting problems on graphs are much easier for labeled than for unlabelled graphs. Consider the following question: how many graphs are there that have exactly \\( n \\) vertices? Suppose first that we mean labeled graphs. A graph of \\( n \\) vertices has a maximum of \\( \\binom{n}{2} \\) edges. To construct a graph we would decide which of these possible edges would be used. We can make each of these \\( \\binom{n}{2} \\) decisions independently, and for every way of deciding where to put the edges we would get a different graph. Therefore the number of labeled graphs of \\( n \\) vertices is \\( 2^{\\binom{n}{2}} \\).\n\nIf we were to ask the corresponding question for unlabelled graphs we would find it to be very hard. The answer is known, but the derivation involves Burnside\u2019s lemma about the action of a group on a set, and some fairly delicate counting arguments. We will state the approximate answer to this question, which is easy to write out, rather than the exact answer, which is not. If \\( g_n \\) is the number of unlabelled graphs on \\( n \\) vertices then\n\n\\[\ng_n \\sim 2^{n^2/n}.\n\\]\n\n## Exercises for Section 1.6\n\n1. Show that a tree is a bipartite graph. \n2.

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't. It calls something that's just slightly different from itself in order to get its job done, and that won't 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 *recursive calls*, which really aren't quite. The first one sorts the array to the left of \\( x \\). That is indeed a recursive call, because we can just change the 'n' to \\( i - 1 \\) and call Quicksort. The second recursive call is the problem. It wants to sort a portion of the array that doesn't begin at the beginning of the array. The routine Quicksort as written so far doesn't 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], \\ldots, x[right] \\)}\n if right - left > 1 then\n {create a splitter for the subarray in the \\( i \\)th array position}\n g := qhsort(x, left, i - 1); \n qhsort(x, i + 1, right); \nend; qhsort;\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 \n\n\\[\nx[x[left]], x[left + 1], \\ldots, x[right].\n\\]\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's 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. To do this, consider the following algorithm.*\n\n*Attributed to Nico Lomuto by Jon Bentley, CACM 27 (April 1984).\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n - **Image Position:** There is only one image on the page.\n - **Image Number:** Image 1.\n\n#### 2. **Object Detection and Classification:**\n - **Detected Objects:**\n - Text blocks.\n - Code snippets.\n - Footnotes.\n - **Key Features:**\n - Text blocks: Paragraphs with explanations and narrative.\n - Code snippets: Structured text with indentation typically seen in programming routines.\n - Footnotes: Small sized text providing additional information or attributions.\n\n#### 3. **Scene and Activity Analysis:**\n - **Scene Description:** The entire image depicts a page from a document discussing the Quicksort algorithm.\n - **Activities:**\n - Explanation of Quicksort.\n - Introduction of code snippets.\n - Discussion of creating a splitter in an array.\n\n#### 4. **Text Analysis:**\n - **Extracted Text:** \n - The image contains text explaining the Quicksort algorithm and presents a Pascal-like pseudo-code for the sorting function.\n - Key headings:\n - \"2.2 Quicksort\"\n - \"procedure qksort\"\n - **Significance:** \n - The text explains the algorithm in detail, including a step-by-step breakdown of the function and its components.\n - The code snippet is crucial for understanding the practical implementation of the Quicksort.\n\n#### 8. **Color Analysis:**\n - **Color Composition:**\n - Predominantly black text on a white background.\n - **Impact:** \n - High contrast ensures readability and focus on the text.\n\n#### 9. **Perspective and Composition:**\n - **Perspective:** Standard front view, typical for reading documents.\n - **Composition:**\n - The text is organized in clear, defined sections.\n - Code snippets are set apart with white space and indentation for clarity.\n - Footnotes are smaller and located at the bottom of the page.\n\n#### 10. **Contextual Significance:**\n - **Overall Document/Website:** This seems to be an excerpt from an educational or technical document focused on algorithms.\n - **Contribution to Overall Message:**\n - The image contributes to teaching or explaining the Quicksort algorithm.\n - It provides theoretical insight as well as practical implementation details.\n\n#### 12. **Graph and Trend Analysis:**\n - **Trends and Interpretation:**\n - No graphical data or trends are presented.\n\n### Additional Aspects:\n\n- **Ablaufprozesse (Process Flows):**\n - The detailed steps of the Quicksort algorithm can be considered as a process flow.\n\n- **Prozessbeschreibungen (Process Descriptions):**\n - Description of the Quicksort process, including choosing a splitter and sorting subarrays.\n\n- **Trend and Interpretation:**\n - The text highlights the iterative process of Quicksort and the significance of the average case complexity.\n\nBy focusing on these detailed aspects, the image effectively serves its purpose of educating the reader about the Quicksort algorithm, combining theoretical discussion with a practical coding example.\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 38\n\nContext: # Chapter 2: Recursive Algorithms\n\n## Procedure `split(x, left, right, t)`\n```markdown\n{chooses at random an entry T of the subarray [x[left], x[right]], and splits the subarray around T}\n{the output integer i is the position of T in the output array x[1..n] = T:}\n1.

Next, if for some j they are true, then the execution of lines 7, 8 guarantee that they will be true for the next value of j.\n\nNow look at (a), (b), (c) when j = right. It tells us that just prior to the execution of line 9 the condition of the array will be:\n\n1. \\( x[left] = T \\) and \n2. \\( x[k] < T \\) for all \\( left < k < i \\) and \n3. \\( x[j] \\geq T \\) for all \\( i < j \\leq right \\) \n\nWhen line 9 executes, the array will be in the correctly split condition.\n\nNow we can state a \u2018final\u2019 version of `qsort` (and therefore of Quicksort too).\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of Visual Content\n\n#### **1.

It uses the idea, introduced by Dinic in 1970 and common to all later algorithms of layered networks, it is fast, and it is extremely simple and elegant in its conception, and so it represents a good choice for those who may wish to program one of these algorithms for themselves.\n\n## 3.3 The algorithm of Ford and Fulkerson\n\nThe basic idea of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm for the network flow problem is this: start with some flow function (initially this might consist of zero flow on every edge). Then look for a **flow augmenting path** in the network. A flow augmenting path is a path from the source to the sink along which we can push some additional flow.\n\nIn Fig. 3.3.1 below we show a flow augmenting path for the network of Fig. 3.2.1. The capacities of the edges are shown on each edge, and the values of the flow function are shown in the boxes on the edges.\n\n**Fig. 3.3.1:** A flow augmenting path\n\n\\[\n\\begin{array}{cccc}\n & 5 & \\to & 10 \\\\\n\\rightarrow & & 15 & \\\\\n \\end{array}\n\\]\n\n**Fig. 3.3.2:** The path above, after augmentation.\n\nAn edge can get elected to a flow augmenting path for two possible reasons.

To do this, it will augment the flow on every edge of an augmenting path by the same amount. If the conservation conditions were satisfied before the augmentation, then they will still be satisfied after such an augmentation.\n\nIt may be helpful to remark that an edge is coherently or incoherently oriented only with respect to a given path from source to sink. That is, the coherence, or lack of it, is not only a property of the directed edge, but depends on how the edge sits inside a chosen path.\n\nThus, in Fig. 3.3.1 the first edge is directed towards the source, i.e., incoherently with the path. Hence if we decrease the flow in that edge we will have increased the value of the flow function, namely the net flow out of the source. That particular edge can indeed have its flow decreased, but at most 8 units. The next edge carries 10 units of flow towards the source. Therefore if we decrease the flow on that edge, by up to 10 units, we will also have increased the value of the flow function. Finally, the edge into the sink carries 12 units of flow and is oriented towards the sink. Hence if we increase the flow on this edge, by at most 3 units since its capacity is 15, we will have increased the value of the flow in the network.\n\nSince every edge in the path that is shown in Fig. 3.3.1 can have its flow altered in one way or the other so as to increase the flow in the network, the path is indeed a flow augmenting path. The most that we might accomplish with this path would be to push 3 more units of flow through it from source to sink. We couldn't push more than 3 units through because one of the edges (the edge into the sink) will tolerate an augmentation of only 3 flow units before reaching its capacity.\n\nTo augment the flow by 3 units we would diminish the flow by 3 units on each of the first two edges and increase it by 3 units on the last edge. The resulting flow in this path is shown in Fig. 3.3.2. The flow in the full network, after this augmentation, is shown in Fig. 3.3.3. Note carefully that if these augmentations are made then flow conservation at each vertex of the network will still hold (check this!).\n\n![Fig. 3.3.3: The network, after augmentation of flow](image_link_here)\n\nAfter augmenting the flow by 3 units as we have just described, the resulting flow will be the one that is shown in Fig. 3.3.3. The value of the flow in Fig. 3.1.2 was 32 units. After the augmentation, the flow function in Fig. 3.3.3 has a value of 35 units.\n\nWe have just described the main idea of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm. It first finds a flow augmenting path. Then it augments the flow along that path as much as it can. Then it finds another flow augmenting path.\n\n66\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Attached Visual Content:\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n - **Image Position:**\n - The page contains a single image located in the middle portion of the document between paragraphs of text.\n - **Image Number:**\n - Image 1 (as it is the only image on the page).\n\n#### 2. **Object Detection and Classification:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - **Objects Identified:**\n - Nodes labeled from 1 to 15.\n - Directed edges connecting these nodes.\n - Edge labels with capacities.\n - **Classification:**\n - Nodes represent network vertices.\n - Directed edges represent network flow paths with capacities.\n\n#### 3. **Scene and Activity Analysis:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - **Scene Description:**\n - The scene is a flow network diagram showing nodes connected by directed edges with various capacities.\n - **Activities:**\n - Illustrates the augmentation of flow in the network from a source node to a sink node following the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.\n - **Main Actors and Actions:**\n - Nodes serve as actors in the network.\n - Actions involve the flow of units along directed edges between nodes.\n\n#### 4. **Text Analysis:**\n - **Detected Text:**\n - \u201cFig. 3.3.3: The network, after augmentation of flow.\u201d\n - Numeric labels on nodes (e.g., 1, 2, 3, up to 15).\n - Numeric values on the edges indicating flow capacities (e.g., 8, 12, 7, etc.).\n - **Content Significance:**\n - The figure caption indicates that the diagram shows a network after flow augmentation.\n - Numeric labels and values are essential for understanding the specific capacities and alterations of flow paths in the network.\n\n#### 5. **Diagram and Chart Analysis:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - **Diagram Analysis:**\n - The diagram is a visual representation of a network flow problem showing the initial and augmented flow paths.\n - Nodes and directed edges with numeric labels indicate flow paths and their respective capacities.\n - **Axes, Scales, and Legends:**\n - There are no traditional axes or scales since it's a network flow diagram.\n - The numeric values on edges serve as the 'scale', showing the flow capacities.\n - **Key Insights:**\n - The network shows an increase in flow after augmentation, illustrating the path and capacity changes according to the Ford-Fulkerson method.\n\n#### 9. **Perspective and Composition:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - **Perspective:**\n - The diagram is presented from a straightforward, bird's-eye view, making it easy to follow the flow paths.\n - **Composition:**\n - Nodes are arranged logically in a network pattern with directed edges showing the direction of flow.\n - The layout is clear, ensuring that augmentations and flow changes are visibly highlighted.\n\n#### 13. **Graph Numbers:**\n - **Image 1:**\n - Nodes are numbered from 1 to 15.\n - Edge capacities are as follows (some examples provided):\n - Edge from node 1 to node 2: 8 units.\n - Edge from node 1 to node 3: 12 units.\n - Edge from node 2 to node 4: 4 units.\n - Edge from node 3 to node 4: 9 units.\n - Continues in this format for all edges shown in the diagram.\n\n### Additional Context:\n- **Process Flows (Ablaufprozesse):**\n - The diagram represents a process flow in a network for augmenting flow using the Ford-Fulkerson method.\n- **Prozessbeschreibungen (Process Descriptions):**\n - Describes the step-by-step augmentation of flow through the network to increase overall flow from source to sink.\n\n### Summary:\nThe visual content is a detailed representation of a network flow problem post-augmentation, focusing on the application of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.

Then\n\n\\[\nQ = f(W, T) - f(V(X), W) \\leq \\text{cap}(W, T). \\tag{3.4.1}\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_{u \\in W} (f(u, V(X)) - f(V(X), u)) \n= f(W, V(X)) - f(V(X), W) \n= f(W, W) - f(W, W) \n= f(W, T) - f(W, W) \n= f(W, T) - f(W, W).\n\\]\n\nThis proves the \u2018=\u2019 part of (3.4.1), and the \u2018\u2264\u2019 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 \\texttt{labelscan}(X, f, \\texttt{ulight}). Let \\( 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 \\texttt{ulight} = \\( 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 define a cut \\( (W, T) \\).\n\nWe claim that every edge of the cut \\( (W, T) \\) is saturated. Indeed, if \\( (x, y) \\) is in the cut, \\( x \\in W \\), and \\( y \\in T \\), then edge \\( (x, y) \\) is saturated, else we would have labeled when we were scanning \\( x \\) and would have \\( y \\in V(X) \\), a contradiction. Similarly, if \\( (y, x) \\) is an edge where \\( y \\in T \\) and \\( x \\in W \\), then the flow \\( f(y, x) = 0 \\), edge again would have been labeled when we were scanning \\( x \\), another contradiction.\n\nHence 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, T) \\), and the proof of theorem 3.4.1 is finished.\n\n## 3.5 The complexity of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm\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, T) \\) 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 we will get there ever? 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 augmentation 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 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. This yields.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution**\n- **Image 1**: The image is a single page capture from a document focused on \"The Network Flow Problem\".

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., 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.\n \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\\[\n\\text{Theorem 3.6.1.}\n\\]\nThe 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 \\) phases 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\\[\n\\text{Lemma 3.6.1.}\n\\]\nIf \n\n\\[\nv_0 \\to v_1 \\to v_2 \\to \\ldots \\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 \\( b \\) 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_a \\), and suppose \\( v_a, v_{a+1} \\) was not present in network \\( Y(p) \\) since two vertices were not in the consecutive layers. Hence the flow in \\( Y \\) between \\( v_a \\) and \\( v_{a+1} \\) could not have been affected by the augmentation procedure of phase \\( p \\). But edge \\( v_i \\) is in \\( Y(p) \\). Therefore it represented an edge of \\( Y \\) that was helpful from \\( v_a \\) 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 \\ldots \\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 = m \\)). We conclude that \\( H(p + 1) > H(p) \\). Now we want to exclude the \\( v_i \\)\u2019s from \\( Y(p + 1) \\) = \\( H(p) \\) and so all the edges in \\( Y(p) \\) that contain the sink, but that layer is special, and contains only \\( t \\). Hence, if \\( v_a \\) is in layer of \\( Y(p) \\), then \\( b + 1 = H(p) \\) by the lemma once more, i.e. \\( 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 Provided Visual Content\n\n### 1. **Localization and Attribution:**\n- **Image:** Single image present on the page.\n- **Position:** The entire page is used for text description and mathematical proof presentation.\n\n### 2. **Object Detection and Classification:**\n- **Objects Detected:**\n - Text paragraphs.\n - Titles and subtitles.\n - Mathematical equations.\n - Bulleted and numbered points.\n\n### 4. **Text Analysis:**\n- **Detected Text:**\n - **Title:** \"3.6 Layered networks\"\n - **Content:**\n - Description of augmenting flow in a network, construction of new layered networks, and the MPM algorithm.\n - Definitions of terms such as \"height of layered network\".\n - **Theorem 3.6.1:** Details heights of layered networks in relation to the sequence of vertices.\n - **Lemma 3.6.1:** Mathematical proof establishing conditions for paths in layered networks.\n\n- **Significance:**\n - The text describes a segment of a mathematical or computational theory, likely related to network flow algorithms.

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](path_to_image)\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) \\). Of course the phrase \"row sums\" means the same thing as \"number of \\( 1 \\)s in each row\" since we have said that the entries are only \\( 0 \\) or \\( 1 \\).\n\nHence in general, let there be a given row sum vector \\( (r_1, \\ldots, r_m) \\) and a column sum vector \\( (s_1, \\ldots, s_n) \\). We ask if there exists an \\( m \\times n \\) matrix \\( A \\) of \\( 0 \\)s and \\( 1 \\)s that has exactly \\( r_j \\) \\( 1 \\)s in the \\( j \\)th column, for each \\( j = 1, \\ldots, m \\) and \\( i = 1, \\ldots, n \\). The reader will not have noticed that for 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. Hence 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, w_1, \\ldots, w_n, \\) and \\( t \\). Here \\( s \\) 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_j \\) drawn from vertex \\( w_j \\) to the sink \\( t \\), for each \\( j = 1, \\ldots, n \\). Finally, there are \\( mn \\) edges of capacity \\( 1 \\) drawn from each edge to each vertex \\( w_j \\).\n\nNext fix a maximum flow in this network. There is a \\( 0-1 \\) matrix with the given row and column sum vectors 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} = 1 \\) equal to the flow in the edge from \\( x_i \\) to \\( y_j \\).\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 trivialcase then trivialthing` (if \\( m = 0 \\)), and this case is all-important because it's the only way the procedure can stop itself.\n\nIf, for example, we want the gcd 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 gcd.\n\nWhat is the input to the problem? The two integers \\( n, m \\) whose gcd 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 \\) here 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 `mod` operation. In this problem, an equivalent measure of cost would be the number of times the algorithm calls itself recursively. In the example (4.22) the cost was 7 units.\n\n**Lemma 4.2.1.** If \\( 1 \\leq b \\leq a \\) then \\( a \\mod b \\leq (a - 1)/2 \\).\n\n**Proof.** Clearly \\( a \\mod b \\leq b - 1 \\). Further,\n\n\\[\na \\mod b = a - \\left\\lfloor \\frac{a}{b} \\right\\rfloor b\n\\]\n\\[\n\\leq a - b\n\\]\nThus \\( a \\mod b < \\min(a - b, b - 1) \\). Now we distinguish two cases. \n\nFirst suppose \\( b \\geq (a + 1)/2 \\). Then \\( b - 1 \\leq a - b \\), so\n\n\\[\na \\mod b \\leq b - 1 \\leq \\frac{a + 1}{2} - 1 \\leq \\frac{a - 1}{2}\n\\]\n\nin this case.\n\nNext, suppose \\( b < (a + 1)/2 \\). Then \\( a - b < a - \\frac{a + 1}{2} = \\frac{a - 1}{2} \\).\n\nThus,\n\n\\[\na \\mod b \\leq a - b < a - \\frac{a + 1}{2} = \\frac{a - 1}{2}\n\\]\n\nso the result holds in either case. \n\n*In Historia Mathematica 21 (1994), 401-419, Jeffrey Shallit traces this analysis back to Pierre-Joseph-\u00c9tienne Fluck, in 1841.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Detailed Analysis of the Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

Then there exist integers t, u such that g = m * t + n * u.\n\nAn immediate consequence of the algorithm and the theorem is the fact that finding inverses modulo a given integer is an easy computational problem. We will need to refer to that fact in the sequel, so we state it as \n\n## Corollary 4.3.1.\nLet m and n be given positive integers, and let g be their g.c.d. 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. If g > 1 then there exists no t such that m \u2261 1 (mod n) since m = 1 + n implies that the g.c.d. of m and n is 1.\n\nWe will now trace the execution of `gcdext` if it is called with `(m, n) = (14, 11)`. 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. To do this it sets\n\n- u := -[n/m] * u = 1\n- t := 0.\n\nThe call with `(n, m) = (2, 1)` is now complete. The call to the routine with `(m, n) = (3, 2)` has been in limbo until just this moment. Now that the `(2, 1)` call is finished, the `(3, 2)` call executes and finds\n\n- u := 0 - [3/2] * 1 = 1\n- t := 1.\n\nThe call to the routine with `(n, m) = (11, 3)` has so far been languishing, but its turn has come. It computes\n\n- u := 1 - [11/3] * (-1) = 4\n- t := -1.\n\nFinally, the original call to `gcdext` from the user, with `(m, n) = (14, 11)`, can be processed. We find\n\n- u := (-1) - [14/11] * 4 = -5\n- t := -4. \n\n86\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Image Analysis:\n\n#### Image 1:\n\n**1.

The reader should now find, from Table 4.5.2, all of the primitive roots modulo 18.\n\nAlternatively, since the order of a group element must always divide the order of the group, every element of \\( U_n \\) has an order that divides \\( \\phi(n) \\). The primitive roots are exactly the elements, if they exist, of maximum possible order \\( \\phi(n) \\).\n\nWe pause to note two corollaries of these remarks, namely\n\n## Theorem 4.5.1 (\u2018Fermat\u2019s theorem\u2019)\n\nFor every integer \\( b \\) that is relatively prime to \\( n \\) we have\n\n\\[\nb^{\\phi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\quad (\\text{mod } n). \\tag{4.5.1}\n\\]\n\nIn particular, if \\( n \\) is a prime number then \\( \\phi(n) = n - 1 \\), and we have\n\n## Theorem 4.5.2 (\u2018Fermat\u2019s little theorem\u2019)\n\nIf \\( n \\) is prime, then for all \\( a \\neq 0 \\) (mod \\( n \\)) we have \\( a^{\\phi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)).\n\nIt is important to know which groups \\( U_n \\) are cyclic, i.e., which integers \\( n \\) have primitive roots. The answer is given by\n\n## Theorem 4.5.3\n\nAn integer \\( n \\) has a primitive root if and only if \\( n = 2 \\) or \\( n = p^k \\) (for an odd prime \\( p \\) and \\( k \\) a non-negative integer). Hence, the groups \\( U_n \\) are cyclic for precisely such values of \\( n \\).\n\nThe proof of theorem 4.5.3 is a little lengthy and is omitted. It can be found, for example, in the book of LeVeque that is cited at the end of this chapter. \n\nAccording to theorem 4.5.3, for example, \\( U_6 \\) is cyclic, which we have already seen, and \\( U_{12} \\) is not cyclic, which the reader should check.\n\nFurther, we state as an immediate consequence of theorem 4.5.3:\n\n## Corollary 4.5.3\n\nIf \\( n \\) is an odd prime, then \\( U_n \\) is cyclic, and in particular the equation \\( x^2 = 1 \\) in \\( U_n \\) has only the solutions \\( x = \\pm 1 \\).\n\nNext we will discuss the fact that if the integer \\( n \\) can be factored in the form \\( n = p_1^{k_1} p_2^{k_2} \\cdots p_m^{k_m} \\), the full ring \\( \\mathbb{Z}_n \\) can also be factored, in a certain sense, as a 'product' of \\( \\mathbb{Z}_{p_1^{k_1}}, \\mathbb{Z}_{p_2^{k_2}}, \\ldots, \\mathbb{Z}_{p_m^{k_m}} \\).\n\nLet\u2019s take \\( \\mathbb{Z}_n \\) as an example. 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.

Given \\( n \\). Output \\( n \\) is composite if \\(\\gcd(n, b) \\neq 1\\), else output `inconclusive`.\n\nThis one is a little better, but not yet good. If \\( n \\) is composite, the number of bases \\( b \\leq n \\) for which Test 2 will produce the result `composite` is \\( n - \\varphi(n) \\), where \\(\\varphi\\) is the Euler totient function (of 4.1.5). This number of useful bases will be large if \\( n \\) has some small prime factors, but in that case it\u2019s easy to find out that \\( n \\) is composite by other methods. If \\( n \\) has only a few large prime factors, say \\( n = p^k \\), then the proportion of useful bases is very small, and we have the same kind of inefficiency as in Test 1 above.\n\nNow we can state the third pseudoprimality test.\n\nTest 3. Given \\( n \\). (If \\( b \\) and \\( n \\) are not relatively prime or) if \\( b \\neq 1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)), then output \\( n \\) is composite; else output `inconclusive`.\n\nRegrettably, the test is still not `good`, but it\u2019s a lot better than its predecessors. To cite an extreme case of its un-goodness, there exist composite numbers \\( n \\), called Carmichael numbers, with the property that the pair \\( (n, b) \\) produces the output `inconclusive` for every integer \\( b \\in [1, n-1] \\) that is relatively prime to \\( n \\). An example of such a number is \\( n = 1729 \\), which is composite (\\(1729 = 17 \\times 101\\)), but for which Test 3 gives the result `inconclusive` on every integer \\( b < 1729 \\) that is relatively prime to 1729 (i.e., that is not divisible by \\( 7 \\) or \\( 13 \\) or \\( 19 \\)).\n\nDespite such misbehavior, the test usually seems to perform quite well. When \\( n = 169 \\) (a difficult integer for Tests 1 and 2) it turns out that there are 158 different \\( b \\in [1, 168] \\) that produce the `composite` outcome from Test 3, namely every such \\( b \\) except for \\( 19, 22, 23, 70, 80, 89, 96, 147, 150, 168 \\).\n\nFinally, we will describe a good pseudoprimality test. The familial resemblance to Test 3 will be apparent.\n\nTest 4. (The strong pseudoprimality test): Given \\( (n, k) \\). Let \\( n - 1 = 2^m \\cdot q \\), where \\( m \\) is an odd integer. If either \n- (a) \\( b^m \\equiv 1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)) or \n- (b) there is an integer \\( i \\in [0, q - 1] \\) such that \\( b^{2^i \\cdot q} \\equiv -1 \\) (mod \\( n \\)) \n\nthen return `inconclusive`; else return `n is composite`.\n\nFirst we validate the test by proving the\n\n**Proposition.** If the test returns the message `n is composite`, then \\( n \\) is composite.\n\n**Proof.** Suppose not. Then \\( n \\) is an odd prime. We claim that:\n\n\\[\nb^{m} \\equiv 1 \\text{ (mod } n)\n\\]\n\nfor all \\( i = 0, q - 1, \\ldots, 0 \\). If so then the case \\( i = 0 \\) will contradict the outcome of the test, and thereby complete the proof. To establish the claim, it is clearly true when \\( i = q \\) by Fermat's theorem. If true for \\( i \\) it is true for \\( i - 1 \\), because \n\n\\[\n(b^{2^{i-1}})^2 = b^{2^i} \\equiv 1 \\text{ (mod } n)\n\\]\n\nimplies that the quantity being squared is \\( +1 \\) or \\( -1 \\). Since \\( n \\) is an odd prime, by corollary 4.5.3 \\( U_n \\) is cyclic, and so the equation \\( x^2 \\equiv 1 \\) in \\( U_n \\) has only the solutions \\( x \\equiv \\pm 1 \\). But \\( -1 \\) is ruled out by the outcome of the test, and the proof of the claim is complete.\n\nWhat is the computational complexity of the test? Consider first the computational problem of raising a number to a power. We can calculate, for example, \\( b^k \\) mod \\( n \\) with \\( O(\\log k) \\) integer multiplications, by successive squaring. More precisely, we compute \\( b^1, b^2, b^4, b^8, \\ldots \\) by squaring, and reducing modulo \\( n \\) immediately after each squaring operation, rather than waiting until the final exponent is reached. Then we use the binary expansion of the exponent to tell us which of these powers of \\( b \\) we should multiply together in order to compute \\( b^n \\).

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.

However if neither \\( u \\equiv v \\,(\\text{mod } n) \\) nor \\( u \\equiv -v \\,(\\text{mod } n) \\) is true then we will have found a nontrivial factor of \\( n \\), namely \\(\\gcd(u - v, n)\\) or \\(\\gcd(u + v, n)\\).\n\n## Example:\n\nTake as a factor base \\( B = \\{-2, 5\\} \\), and let it be required to find a factor of \\( n = 1729 \\). Then we claim that 186 and 267 are \\( B \\)-numbers. To see that 186 is a \\( B \\)-number, note that \\( 186 \\equiv 20 - 1729 + (-2)^{4} \\); and similarly, since \\( 267 \\equiv 41 - 1729 + (-2)^{5} \\), 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, 1) \\) (mod 2), hence we find that\n\n\\[\nu = 186 \\times 267 = 1250 \\quad (\\text{mod } 1729) \\\\\nr_1 = 4; \\; r_2 = 1 \\\\\nr_1 = 4; \\; r_2 = 1 \\\\\nv = (-2)^{5} = 80 \\\\\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)^{\\frac{3}{2}}\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\n\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 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 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 76813832752787.\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 \\,|\\, 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 \\( r \\neq s \\).\n2. Verify that \\( s \\neq n \\).\n\nwe can prove, in polynomial time, that \\( n \\) is not a prime number.\n\n* We follow the account given in V.

Those were the primality-testing 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 (\u2018cities\u2019), 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 \u2018pack\u2019 the integers of S into at most N \u2018bins\u2019, where the \u2018capacity\u2019 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. Hence if G has 50 vertices and we have 20 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 \u2018Independent Set\u2019 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\u2019s warranty card. Of course the \u201c1000\u201d didn\u2019t have to be exactly that. But some quite specific polynomial in the length of the input bit string must appear in the performance guarantee. Hence \u201c357n\u201d might have appeared in the guarantee, and so might \u201c23n\u201d, but \\(n^k\\) would not have allowed.\n\nLet\u2019s look carefully at why \\(n^k\\) would not be an acceptable worst-case polynomial time performance bound. In the \u2018Independent Set\u2019 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) \\in E(G)\\) and 0 else.\n\nEvidently \\(n^2\\) bits of input 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 \u2018Independent Set\u2019 problem is at most \\(n^2\\) bits long, but 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 \\(O(n^k)\\).\n\nIs this a guarantee of polynomial time performance? That question takes us to the next question: Is there a polynomial P such that for every instance of \u2018Independent Set\u2019 the running time T will be at most P(|B|)? Well, is it bounded?\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Image Analysis\n\n#### Localization and Attribution\n- **Image Position:** Single image/page.\n- **Image Identifier:** This image has been labeled for reference as Image 1.\n\n#### Text Analysis\n- **Detected Text:**\n - Chapter Information: \"Chapter 5: NP-completeness\"\n - Section Title: \"5.1 Introduction\"\n - Mathematical and problem descriptions:\n - *Travelling salesman problem (TSP)*: Given 'n' points and a distance D, determining a tour that visits all points and returns with a total length \u2264 D.\n - *Graph coloring*: Coloring vertices of a graph G with K colors.\n - *Independent set*: Identifying an independent set of K vertices in graph G.\n - *Bin packing*: Partitioning a set S into N sets within a capacity K, ensuring optimal packing.\n - Example of a computational guarantee:\n - \"The seller warrants that if a graph G, r 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 milliseconds.\"\n - Additional explanations and technical details relevant to the difficulty of these computational problems and the warranties provided.\n\n- **Content Significance:**\n - This text outlines different NP-complete problems, particularly those challenging due to their computational complexity.\n - Highlights crucial problems in discrete mathematics, emphasizing the significance of understanding NP-completeness.\n - Discusses practical implications and theoretical underpinnings of computational guarantees and problem-solving capabilities.\n\n#### Object Detection and Classification\n- **Category:** Document text analysis.\n- **Key Features:** The document features mathematical problems, definitions, and explanations pertaining to NP-completeness.\n- **Main Actors:** Textual descriptions, graphs, equations, and warranties regarding algorithms.\n\n#### Scene and Activity Analysis\n- **Scene Description:** \n - The single scene is an academic or technical document page focused on introducing NP-completeness.\n - The activity is mainly a textual explanation of theoretical problems in computer science.\n \n#### Perspective and Composition\n- **Perspective:** \n - The image is a direct scan or screenshot of a document page taken from a flat, front-on perspective typical of document presentations.\n- **Composition:** \n - Text densely arranged in paragraphs,\n - Section headers and subsections properly marked and highlighted for emphasis.\n\n#### Contextual Significance\n- **Overall Document/Website Contextualization:**\n - The page is part of a larger document or textbook discussing computational theory, specifically addressing NP-completeness in computational problems.\n - Contributes significantly to the foundational understanding for students or readers studying computational complexity, illustrating both theoretical and practical considerations.\n\n### Metadata and Additional Analysis\n- **Metadata:**\n - None available.\n\n#### Conclusion\n- **Significance:**\n - The document serves as an introductory section to NP-completeness, fundamental for students or professionals in computer science and related fields.\n - The text sets the stage for further discussions on computational problems, emphasizing both the complexities and potential capabilities of various algorithms in managing these issues.\n\nNote: There were no diagrams, charts, or tables within the provided image context, so these aspects were not relevant to this analysis.\n####################\nFile: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf\n\nPage: 113\n\nContext: # 5.2 Turing Machines\n\n## Exercises for section 5.1\n\n1.

Each square can contain a single character from the character set that the machine recognizes. For simplicity, we can assume that the character set contains just three symbols: '0', '1', and ' ' (blank).\n\n(b) A tape head that is capable of either reading a single character from a square on the tape or writing a single character on a square, or moving its position relative to the tape by an increment of one square in either direction.\n\n(c) A finite list of states such that at every instant the machine is in exactly one of those states. The possible states of the machine are, first of all, the regular states \\(q_1, \\ldots, q_n\\), and second, three special states:\n- \\(q_0\\): the initial state\n- \\(q_y\\): the final state in a problem to which the answer is 'Yes'\n- \\(q_n\\): the final state in a problem to which the answer is 'No'\n\n(d) A program (or program module, if we think of it as a pluggable component) that directs the machine through the steps of a particular task.\n\n```\n ...\n \u25a2 \u25a2 \u25a2 \u25a2 \u25a2 \u25a2 \u25a2 \n ---, --3--2--| 0 1, 2 3 ---\n ... . . . . .\n ...\n```\n\nFig. 5.2.1: A Turing machine tape\n\nLet\u2019s describe the program module in more detail. Suppose that at a certain instant the machine is in state \\(s\\) (other than \\(q_y\\) or \\(q_n\\)) and that the symbol that has just been read from the tape is 'symbol'. Then from the pair \\( (s, symbol) \\) the program module will decide:\n1. to which state \\(s'\\) the machine shall next go, and\n2. which single character the machine will now write on the tape in the square over which the head is now positioned, and\n3. whether the tape head will next move one square to the right or one square to the left.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Image Analysis\n\n#### Image Localization and Attribution:\n- **Image 1: Positioned at the top of the document.**\n- **Image 2: Positioned towards the bottom of the document, illustrating a Turing machine tape.**\n\n#### Object Detection and Classification:\n\n- **Image 1** contains:\n - Text blocks with mathematical problems and exercises.\n- **Image 2** contains:\n - A diagram of a Turing machine tape.\n\n#### Scene and Activity Analysis:\n\n- **Image 1**:\n - The scene includes a text that provides theoretical computer science exercises, specifically focusing on decision problems and NP-completeness.\n- **Image 2**:\n - The scene is a technical diagram explaining the Turing machine tape, showing how it is divided into squares and labeled.

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 'True' (T) or 'False' (F), to each one of the variables. Having done that, each one of the literals inherits a truth value; namely, a literal \\(x_i\\) 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 'T' if and only if at least one of the literals in that clause has the value 'T'; and otherwise it has the value 'F'.\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**: A 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 'or' as being between each of the literals in a clause, and the word 'and' 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\n1. \\( \\{x_1, x_2\\} \\)\n2. \\( \\{x_1, x_3\\} \\)\n3. \\( \\{x_2, x_3\\} \\)\n4. \\( \\{ \\neg x_1, x_3\\} \\)\n\nIf we choose the truth values (T, T, F) for the variables, respectively, then the four clauses would assume 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, F\\) (how can we recognize a set of clauses that is satisfied by assigning to every variable the value 'T'?).\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 'Yes', the clauses.\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Localization and Attribution:\n- **Image 1**: Entire page.\n\n### Text Analysis:\n- **Image 1**:\n - The image contains a single page of text extracted from a document.

Then one, at least, of the \\( k \\) literals \\( z_1, \\ldots, z_r, \\text{ say } x_r \\) has the value \\( \\text{True} \\). Then we can satisfy all \\( k - 2 \\) of the transformed clauses \\( (5.4.2) \\) by assigning \\( z_s = \\text{True} \\) for \\( s \\leq 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 \\( x \\)\u2019s and the \\( z \\)\u2019s. We will show that at least one of the \\( x \\)\u2019s must be \\( \\text{True} \\); so that the original clause will be satisfied.\n\nSuppose, to the contrary, that all of the \\( x \\)\u2019s are false. Since, in the new clauses none of the \\( x \\)\u2019s are negated, the fact that the new clauses are satisfied tells us that they would remain satisfied without any of the \\( x \\)\u2019s. Hence the clauses \\( \\{x_1\\}, \\{x_2\\}, \\{x_3\\}, \\ldots, \\{x_{k-4}, x_{k-3}\\}, \\{x_k\\} \\)\n\nare satisfied by the values of the \\( x \\)\u2019s. 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 \\( 2SAT \\) is in \\( P \\).\n\nOur collection of NP-complete problems is growing. Now we have two, and a third is on the way. We will show next how to reduce \\( 3SAT \\) 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 \\( SAT \\), that is to say, given a collection of \\( C_j \\) 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 \\( n + k \\) vertices:\n\n\\[\n\\{x_1, \\ldots, x_n\\}, \\{z_1, \\ldots, z_k\\}, \\{y_1, \\ldots, y_m\\}, \\{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 \\) for \\( j = 1, \\ldots, k \\). Next, every vertex \\( z_j \\) is joined to every other vertex \\( x_j (j \\neq i) \\), to every vertex \\( z_j (j \\neq i) \\), and to every vertex \\( x_j (j \\neq i) \\).\n\nVertex \\( z_j \\) is connected to \\( C_j \\) if \\( x_i \\) is not 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 \\( 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 \\$9.95 for it, and we\u2019d like to use it. But the first problem that needs solving happens to be a \\( 3SAT \\) problem, not a graph coloring problem. We aren\u2019t so easily discouraged, though. We convert the \\( 3SAT \\) problem into a graph (that is \\( n + k \\)-colorable) if and only if the original \\( 3SAT \\) problem was satisfiable.

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.

A great deal of research has gone into the study of how many edges a graph has to have before one can assure it must contain certain given structures. For instance, how many edges must a graph of \\( n \\) vertices have before we can be almost certain that it will contain a complete graph of \\( n \\) vertices?\n\nTo say that graphs have a property \u2018almost certainly\u2019 is to say that the ratio of the number of graphs on \\( n \\) vertices that have the property to the number of graphs on \\( n \\) vertices approaches 1 as \\( n \\) grows without bound.\n\nFor the Hamilton path problem, an important dividing line, or threshold, turns out to be at the level of \\( \\log n \\) edges. That is to say, a graph of \\( n \\) vertices that has \\( o(\\log n) \\) edges has relatively little chance of being even connected, whereas a graph with \\( \\geq \\log n \\) edges is almost certainly connected, and almost certainly has a Hamilton path.\n\nWe now state the theorem of Angluin and Valiant, which asserts that the algorithm above will almost surely succeed if the graph \\( G \\) has enough edges.\n\n## Theorem 5.5.1\nFix a positive real number \\( \\epsilon \\). There exist numbers \\( M \\) and \\( c \\) such that if we choose a graph \\( G \\) at random from among those of \\( n \\) vertices and at least \\( cn \\) edges, and we choose arbitrary vertices \\( s, t \\) in \\( G \\), then the probability that algorithm UHC returns 'success' before making a total of \\( M \\log n \\) attempts to extend partly constructed paths is \\( 1 - O(n^{-\\epsilon}) \\).\n\n## 5.6 Backtracking (I): independent sets\nIn this section, we are going to describe an algorithm that is capable of solving some NP-complete problems fast, on the average, while at the same time guaranteeing that a solution will always be found, be it quickly or slowly.\n\nThe method is called backtracking, and it has long been a standard method in computer search problems when all else fails. It has been common to think of backtracking as a very long process, and indeed can be. But recently it has been shown that the method can be very fast on average, and that in the graph coloring problem, for instance, it functions in an average of constant time, i.e., the time is independent of the number of vertices, although to be sure, the worst-case behavior is very exponential.\n\nWe first illustrate the backtrack method in the context of a search for the largest independent set of vertices (a set of vertices too two of which are joined by an edge) in a given graph \\( G \\), an NP-complete problem. In this case the average time behavior of the method is not constant, or even polynomial, but is subexponential. The method is also easy to analyze and describe in this case.\n\nHence consider a graph \\( G \\) of \\( n \\) vertices, in which the vertices have been numbered \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, n \\). We want to find, in \\( G \\), the size of the largest independent set of vertices. In Fig. 5.6.1 below, the graph \\( G \\) has 6 vertices.\n\n![Fig. 5.6.1: Find the largest independent set](#)\n\nBegin by searching for an independent set \\( S \\) that contains vertex 1, so let \\( S = \\{ 1 \\} \\). Now attempt to enlarge \\( S \\). We cannot enlarge \\( S \\) by adjoining vertex 2 to it, but we can add vertex 3. Our set \\( S \\) is now \\( \\{ 1, 3 \\} \\).\n\nNow we cannot add vertex 4 (joined to 1) or vertex 5 (joined to 3) or vertex 6 (joined to 3), so we backtrack. Therefore we backtrack, by replacing the most recently added member of \\( S \\) by the next choice that we might have made for it. In this case, we delete vertex 3 from \\( S \\), and the next choice would be vertex 6. \n\nThe set \\( S \\) is \\( \\{ 1, 6 \\} \\). Again we have a dead end.\n\nIf we backtrack again, there are no further choices with which to replace vertex 6, so we backtrack even further, and not only delete 6 from \\( S \\) but also replace vertex 1 by the next possible choice for it, namely vertex 2. \n\n122\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Analysis of Attached Visual Content\n\n#### 1.

This is a tree whose vertices are arranged on levels \\( L = 0, 1, 2, \\ldots \\) for a graph of \\( n \\) vertices. Each vertex of \\( T \\) corresponds to an independent set of vertices in \\( G \\). Two vertices of \\( T \\) corresponding to independent sets \\( S_1 \\) and \\( S_2 \\) of vertices of \\( G \\) are joined by an edge in \\( T \\) if \\( S_1 \\) and \\( S_2 \\) consist of a single element: the highest-numbered vertex in \\( S_2 \\).\n\nOn level \\( L \\), we find a vertex \\( S \\) for every independent set of exactly \\( L \\) vertices of \\( G \\). Level 0 consists of a single root vertex, corresponding to the empty set of vertices of \\( G \\).\n\nThe complete backtrack search tree for the problem of finding a maximum independent set in the graph \\( G \\) of Fig. 5.6.1 is shown in Fig. 5.6.2 below.\n\n## Fig. 5.6.2: The Backtrack Search Tree\n\nThe backtrack algorithm amounts just to visiting every vertex of the search tree \\( T \\), without actually having to write down the tree explicitly, in advance.\n\nObserve that the list of sets \\( S \\) above, or equivalently, the list of nodes of the tree \\( T \\), consists of exactly every independent set in the graph \\( G \\). A reasonable measure of the complexity of the searching job, therefore, is the number of independent sets that \\( G \\) has. In the example above, the graph \\( G \\) had 19 independent sets of vertices, including the empty set.\n\nThe question of the complexity of backtrack search is therefore the same as the question of determining the number of independent sets of the graph \\( G \\).\n\nSome graphs have an enormous number of independent sets. The graph \\( T_n \\), of \\( n \\) vertices and no edges whatever has \\( 2^n \\) independent sets of vertices. The backtrack tree will have \\( 2^n \\) nodes, and the search will be a long one indeed.\n\nThe complete graph \\( K_n \\) of \\( n \\) vertices and every possible edge, \\( n(n-1)/2 \\) in all, has just \\( n+1 \\) independent sets of vertices.\n\nAny other graph \\( G \\) of \\( n \\) vertices will have a number of independent sets that lies between these two extremes of \\( n + 1 \\) and \\( 2^n \\). Sometimes backtracking will take an exponentially long time, and sometimes it will be fairly quick. Now the question is, on the average how fast is the backtrack method for this problem?\n\nWhat we are asking for is the average number of independent sets that a graph \\( G \\) of \\( n \\) vertices has. But that is the sum, over all vertex subsets \\( S \\subseteq \\{1, \\ldots, n\\} \\), of the probability that \\( S \\) is an independent set. If \\( S \\) has \\( k \\) vertices, then the probability that \\( S \\) is independent is the probability that, among \\( k(k - 1)/2 \\) possible edges that might join a pair of vertices in \\( S \\), exactly zero of these edges actually live in the random graph \\( G \\). Since each of these \\( \\binom{k}{2} \\) edges has a probability \\( 1/2 \\) of appearing in \\( G \\), the probability that none of them appear is \\( 2^{-k(k-1)/2} \\). Hence the average number of independent sets in a graph of \\( n \\) vertices is\n\n\\[\nI_n = \\sum_{k=0}^{n} \\binom{n}{k} 2^{-k(k-1)/2}.\n\\]\n```\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination\n\n**1.

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.

Level 2, for instance, consists of the nodes of the search tree that are at a distance 2 from \"Root.\" In Fig. 5.7.3, level 2 contains 6 nodes, corresponding to the partial colorings 12, 21, 31, 32, 31, 32 of the graph. When the coloring reaches vertex 2, it has seen only the portion of the graph \\( G \\) that is induced by vertices 1 and 2.\n\nGenerally, a node at level \\( L \\) of the backtrack search tree corresponds to a proper coloring in \\( K \\) colors of the subgraph \\( H_L(G) \\) that is induced by vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\). Let \\( H_L(G) \\) denote that subgraph. Then we see the truth of \n\n**Lemma 5.7.1.** The number of nodes at level \\( L \\) of the backtrack search tree for coloring a graph \\( G \\) in \\( K \\) colors is equal to the number of proper colorings of \\( H_L(G) \\) in \\( K \\) colors, i.e., to \\( P(K, H_L(G)) \\), where \\( P \\) is the chromatic polynomial.\n\nWe are now ready for the main question of this section: what is the average number of nodes in a backtrack search tree for \\( K \\)-coloring graphs of \\( n \\) vertices? This is \n\n\\[\nA(n, K) = \\frac{1}{\\text{no. of graphs } G_n} \\sum_{\\text{graphs } G_n} \\{\\text{no. of nodes in tree for } G\\}\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= 2^{-(K-1)} \\sum_{L=0}^{n} \\{\\text{no. of nodes at level } L\\}\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= 2^{-(K-1)} \\sum_{L=0}^{n} P(K, H_L(G)) \\quad \\text{(by lemma 5.7.4)}\n\\]\n\nFix some value of \\( L \\) and consider the inner sum. As \\( G \\) runs over all graphs of \\( N \\) vertices, \\( H(G) \\) selects the subgraph of \\( G \\) that is induced by vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\). Now lots of graphs \\( G \\) on \\( n \\) vertices have the same \\( H_L(G) \\) for vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\). In fact, exactly \\( 2^{(L-1)}(1-2)^{-(L)} \\) different graphs \\( G \\) of \\( n \\) vertices have the same graph \\( H \\) of \\( L \\) vertices in residence at vertices \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, L \\) (see exercise 15 of section 1.6). Hence (5.7.2) gives \n\n\\[\nA(n, K) = 2^{-(K-1)} \\sum_{L=0}^{n} 2^{(L-1)} (1-2)^{-(L)} \\sum_{P(K, H)}\n\\]\n\n\\[\n= \\sum_{L=0}^{n} 2^{(L-1)} \\sum_{\\mathcal{H}} P(K, H).\n\\]\n\nThe inner sum is exactly the number that is counted by lemma 5.7.3, and so \n\n\\[\nA(n, K) = \\sum_{L=0}^{n} 2^{-(K-1)} K^{L2^{(1-K)/2}} \\leq \\sum_{L=0}^{n} K^{L2/2^{-(K-1)}}\n\\]\n\nThe infinite series actually converges! Hence \\( A(n, K) \\) is bounded, for all \\( n \\). This proves \n\n**Theorem 5.7.1.** Let \\( A(n, K) \\) denote the average number of nodes in the backtrack search trees for \\( K \\)-coloring the vertices of all graphs of \\( n \\) vertices. Then there is a constant \\( h = h(K) \\), that depends on the number of colors \\( K \\), but not on \\( n \\), such that \\( A(n, K) \\leq h(K) \\) for all \\( n \\).\n\nImage Analysis: \n\n### Comprehensive Examination of the Visual Content\n\n#### 1. **Localization and Attribution**\n- **Image Number**: There is only one image present.\n - **Classification**: Image 1.\n\n#### 4. **Text Analysis**\n- **Detected Text**:\n - The extracted text mainly includes mathematical explanations, definitions, and proofs related to backtracking search trees in the context of graph coloring.\n- **Text Content and Significance**:\n - **Section Title**: \"5.7 Backtracking (II): graph coloring\"\n - **Main Body**:\n - The text describes an algorithm for backtracking search trees for graph coloring.

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 tree if we do that exchange?) would be shorter, contradicting the minimality of \\( T' \\).\n\nHence \\( f \\) and \\( g \\) have the same length. In \\( T' \\) exchange \\( f \\) for \\( e_i \\). 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 fulfills 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\nNow we have the ingredients for a quick near-optimal travelling salesman tour.\n\n**Theorem 5.8.1**. An algorithm that operates in polynomial time and will return a travelling salesman tour whose length is at most twice the length of a minimum tour.\n\nHere is the algorithm. Given \\( n \\) cities in the plane:\n\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, instead of starting at some vertex \\( v \\), go from \\( v \\) 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 via several edges \"down the road.\"\n\nThe tour \\( Z \\) that results from (4) above is indeed a tour of all the cities in which each city is visited once and only once. We claim that its 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 a path 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\\[\n\\text{length}(Z) \\leq \\text{length}(Z - e) \\leq \\text{length}(T) = \\frac{1}{2} \\text{length}(W) \\leq \\frac{1}{2} \\text{length}(Z')\n\\]\n\nas claimed.\n\nMore recently it has been proved (Christodes, 1976) that polynomial time we can find a TSP tour whose total length is at most \\( 3/2 \\) as long as the original tour. The algorithm makes use of Edmonds\u2019s 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 \\( 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.
