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 ‘No,’ then we declare \( n \) to be a prime number, else it is composite. First, 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. It 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’s certainly a polynomial in \( n \), isn’t 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. References 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’t 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 \(\log_2 n\). So 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’s and 1’s has caused our mighty computer to do about \(\sqrt{n}\) units of work. If 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 \( B \). Therefore, 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’t a fast way. Primality testing belongs to the (well-populated) class of seemingly, but not provably, intractable problems. In this book we will deal with some easy problems and some seemingly hard ones. It’s the ‘seemingly’ that makes things very interesting. These are problems for which no one has found a fast computer algorithm, --- ### Scene and Activity Analysis: #### Described Scene and Activities: - The scene described in the image is a text-heavy document discussing computational problems, particularly focusing on the complexity and computational time of algorithms. - 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. #### Main Actors: - The main actors in the scene are algorithms and computational problems. - The text describes the actions of measuring computational complexity, evaluating polynomial vs. non-polynomial time, and testing algorithm efficiency. ### Contextual Significance: #### Contribution to Overall Message: - 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. - The example provided (primality testing) is used to illustrate these concepts and highlight the challenges associated with algorithm efficiency. ### Perspective and Composition: #### Perspective: - The perspective is that of a reader or student studying the material presented on the page. #### Composition: - The text is organized in a traditional scholarly format, with clear headings, paragraphs, and a structured presentation of concepts and examples. ### Anomaly Detection: - No anomalies were detected in the image; the text appears to be consistent with a standard academic document discussing computational complexity. ### Color Analysis: #### Color Composition: - The image consists entirely of black text on a white background. #### Dominant Colors: - The dominant colors are black and white. ### Graph and Trend Analysis: - There are no graphs present in this image. ### Diagram and Chart Analysis: - There are no diagrams or charts present in this image. ### Metadata Analysis: - There is no visible metadata within the image. ### Additional Aspects: #### Prozessbeschreibungen (Process Descriptions): - 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. #### Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations): - Type designations include polynomial-time algorithms and non-polynomial-time algorithms, as well as tractable and intractable problems. ### Conclusion: This 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.

By the use of slightly more precise machinery one can prove a better estimate of the size of \( n! \) that is called Stirling's formula, which is the statement that: \[ n! \sim \left( \frac{n}{e} \right)^n \sqrt{2 \pi n} \tag{1.1.10} \] ## Exercises for section 1.1 1. Calculate the values of \( x^{0.01} \) and of \( \log_2 x \) for \( x = 10, 1000, 1,000,000 \). Find a single value of \( x > 10 \) for which \( x^{0.01} \leq x \log x \), and prove that your answer is correct. 2. Some of the following statements are true and some are false.

Each of the three sums below defines a function of \( x \). Beneath each sum there appears a list of five assertions about the rate of growth, as \( x \to \infty \), of the function that the sum defines. In each case state which of the five choices, if any, are true (note: more than one choice may be true). \( h_1(x) = \sum_{j \geq 1} \frac{1}{j^2 + 3/j^3 + 4/j^3} \) - (i) \( \sim \log x \) - (ii) \( = O(x) \) - (iii) \( \sim 2 \log x \) - (iv) \( = \Theta(\log^2 x) \) - (v) \( = \Omega(1) \) \( h_2(x) = \sum_{j \leq x} \frac{1}{j \log j} \) - (i) \( \sim \log x \) - (ii) \( = O(\sqrt{x}) \) - (iii) \( = \Theta(\sqrt{x} \log x) \) - (iv) \( \sim \Theta(\sqrt{x}) \) - (v) \( = o(\sqrt{x}) \) \( h_3(x) = \sum_{j \leq x} \frac{1}{\sqrt{j}} \) - (i) \( = O(\sqrt{x}) \) - (ii) \( = \Omega(x^{1/4}) \) - (iii) \( = o(x^{1/4}) \) - (iv) \( \sim x^{1/2} \) 4. Of the five symbols of asymptotics \( O, \omega, \Theta, \sim, \Omega \), which ones are transitive (e.g., if \( f = O(g) \) and \( g = O(h) \), then \( f = O(h) \))? 5. The point of this exercise is that if \( f \) grows more slowly than \( g \), then we can always find a third function \( h \) whose rate of growth is between that of \( f \) and \( g \). Precisely, prove the following: if \( f = o(g) \) then there exists \( h \) such that \( f = o(h) \) and \( h = o(g) \). Image Analysis: ### Image Analysis #### 1.

Give an explicit construction for the function \( h \) in terms of \( g \). 6. (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. Furthermore, in the negation, do not use the word 'not' or any negation symbols. In each case the question is, “If this isn’t true, then what is true?” (a) \( \forall x > 0, f(x) \neq 0 \) (b) \( \forall y > 0, f(y) > 0 \) (c) \( \forall z \in \mathbb{R}, \, f(z) < f(x) \) (d) \( \exists y > 3 \, \forall z < f(y) \) (e) \( \forall x \exists z \, z < f(y) \) Can you formulate a general method for negating such propositions? Given a proposition that contains \( \forall, \exists \), what rule would apply in order to negate the proposition and leave the result in positive form (containing no negation symbols or ‘not’s)? 7.

(b) Write out the negation of your answer to part (a) as a positive assertion. (c) Use your answer to part (b) to give a positive definition of the assertion \( f(n) \neq o(g(n)) \), and thereby justify the definition of the \( \Omega \) symbol that was given in the text. 8.

List them so that each one is ‘little o’ of its successor: \[ 2^{\sqrt{n}}, n^{3.01}, n^{2}, n^{1.6}, \log^{3} n + 1, \sqrt{n}, n \log n, n^{3} \log(\log n), n^{2}, (n + 4)^{12} \] 9. Find a function \( f(x) \) such that \( f(x) = O(2^{x}) \) is true for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \), but for which it is not true that \( f(x) = O(1) \). 10. Prove that the statement \( f(n) = O(2^{\varepsilon}) \) for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \) is equivalent to the statement \( f(n) = \Omega(2^{\varepsilon}) \) for every \( \varepsilon > 0 \). ## 1.2 Positional number systems This section will provide a brief review of the representation of numbers in different bases. The usual decimal system represents numbers by using the digits \( 0, 1, \ldots, 9 \). For the purpose of representing whole numbers we can imagine that the powers of 10 are displayed below like this: \[ \cdots, 100000, 10000, 1000, 100, 10, 1. \] Then, to represent an integer we can specify how many copies of each power of 10 we would like to have. If we write 237, for example, then that means that we want 2 copies of \( 10^2 \) and 3 copies of \( 10^1 \) and 7 copies of \( 10^0 \). In general, if we write out the string of digits that represents a number in the decimal system, as \( d_m d_{m-1} \ldots d_1 d_0 \), then the number that is being represented by that string of digits is \[ n = \sum_{i=0}^{m} d_i \cdot 10^i. \] Now 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: \[ \cdots, 512, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. \] Image Analysis: ### Comprehensive Examination of the Visual Content #### 1.

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 \[ (13)_{10} = (1101)_{2} \] to mean that the number \(13\) in the base \(10\) is the same as the number \(1101\) in the base \(2\). In 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 \(0\)’s and \(1\)’s 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. Let’s elaborate on this last point. If we were allowed to use more digits than just \(0\)’s and \(1\)’s then we would be able to represent the number \(13\) as a binary number in a whole lot of ways. For instance, we might make the mistake of allowing digits \(0, 1, 2\), \(3\), \(4\), etc. Then \(13\) would be representable as \(3 \cdot 2^{2} + 1 \cdot 2^{1} + 0 \cdot 2^{0}\) etc. So if we were to allow too many different digits then numbers would be representable in more than one way as a string of digits. If 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 \(0, 1, \ldots, 9\), then infinitely many numbers would not be able to be represented, so we had better keep the \(9\)s. The general proposition is this. ### Theorem 1.2.1 Let \(b > 1\) be a positive integer (the 'base'). Then every positive integer \(n\) can be written in one and only one way in the form \[ n = d_k b^k + d_{k-1} b^{k-1} + d_{k-2} b^{k-2} + \ldots \] if the digits \(d_0, d_1, \ldots\) lie in the range \(0 \leq d_i < b - 1\) for all \(i\). **Remark:** The theorem says, for instance, that in the base \(10\) we need the digits \(0, 1, 2, \ldots, 9\); in the base \(2\) we need only \(0\) and \(1\), in the base \(16\) we need sixteen digits, etc. **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 \(d = n \mod b\). Then \(d\) is one of the permissible digits. By induction, the number \(n' = (n - d) / b\) is uniquely representable, say \[ n' = d_k b^k + d_{k-1} b^{k-1} + d_{k-2} b^{k-2} + \ldots \] Then clearly, \[ n = d + n' b = d + d_k b^{k+1} + d_{k-1} b^{k} + d_{k-2} b^{k-1} + \ldots \] is a representation of \(n\) that uses only the allowed digits. Finally, suppose that \(n\) has some other representation in this form also. Then we would have \[ n = a_0 + a_1 b + a_2 b^{2} + \ldots = c_0 + c_1 b + c_2 b^{2} + \ldots \] Since \(a_0\) 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 \(n < m\). The bases \(b\) that are the most widely used are, aside from \(2\) (binary system), \(8\) (octal system) and \(16\) (hexadecimal system). The binary system is extremely simple because it uses only two digits. This is very convenient if you’re a computer or a computer designer because the digits can be determined by some component being either ‘on’ (digit \(1\)) or ‘off’ (digit \(0\)). The binary digits of a number are called its bits or its bit string. Image Analysis: ### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content #### 1.

According to the theorem, in the octal system the digits that we need are \(0, 1, \ldots, 7\). For instance, \[ (735)_8 = (477)_{10} \] The captivating feature of the octal system is the ease with which we can convert between octal and binary. If we are given the bit string of an integer \(n\), to convert it to octal, all we have to do is group the bits together in groups of three, starting with the least significant bit, then convert each group of three bits independently of the others, into a single octal digit. Conversely, if the octal form of \(n\) is given, then the binary form is obtainable by converting each octal digit independently into the three bits that represent it in the binary system. For example, given \( (11011001101)_2 \). To convert this binary number to octal, we group the bits in threes, \[ (1)(101)(100)(101) \] starting from the right, and then we convert each triple into a single octal digit, thereby getting \[ (11011001101)_2 = (1545)_8. \] If you’re a working programmer, it’s very handy to use the shorter octal strings to remember, or to write down, the longer binary strings because of the space saving, coupled with the ease of conversion back and forth. The hexadecimal system (base 16) is like octal, only more so. The conversion back and forth to binary now uses groups of four bits, rather than three. In hexadecimal we will need, according to the theorem above, 16 digits. We have handy names for the first 10 of these, but what shall we call the ‘digits 10 through 15’? The names that are conventionally used for them are ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, and ‘F’. We have, for example, \[ (A52C)_{16} = 10(4096) + 5(256) + 2(16) + 12 \] \[ = (42284)_{10} \] \[ = (10010)(01001)(00100)(1100)_2 \] \[ = (10100101001110)_2 \] \[ = (1)(010)(010)(100)(101)(100) \] \[ = (122454)_8. \] ## Exercises for Section 1.2 1. Prove that conversion from octal to binary is correctly done by converting each octal digit to a binary triple and concatenating the resulting triples. Generalize this theorem to other pairs of bases. 2. Carry out the conversions indicated below. - (a) \( (73)_{10} = (??)_{8} \) - (b) \( (100)_{8} = (??)_{16} \) - (c) \( (337)_{8} = (??)_{16} \) - (d) \( (ABCD)_{16} = (??)_{10} \) - (e) \( (BEEF)_{16} = (??)_{8} \) 3.

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. Just to exercise our newly acquired skills in asymptotics, let’s observe that since \( (1 + \sqrt{5})/2 > 1 \) and \( |(1 - \sqrt{5})/2| < 1 \), it follows that when \( n \) is large we have \[ F_n \sim \left( \frac{(1 + \sqrt{5})}{2} \right)^{n+1}/\sqrt{5}. \] The 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 \( \alpha^n(c_1 + c_2 n) \). ### Example Consider the recurrence \[ x_{n+1} = 2x_n - x_{n-1} \quad (n \geq 1; \quad x_0 = 5; \quad x_1 = 5). \] (1.4.16) If 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 \[ x_0 = 1 = c_1; \quad x_1 = 5 = c_1 + c_2. \] If 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 \( x_n = 4n + 1 \). Now let’s look at recurrent inequalities, like this one: \[ x_{n+1} \leq x_n + x_{n-1} + n^2 \quad (n \geq 1; \quad x_0 = 0; \quad x_1 = 0). \] (1.4.17) The question is, what restriction is placed on the growth of the sequence \( \{ x_n \} \) by (1.4.17)? By 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 \[ x_{N+1} \leq K N^r + K N^{r-1} + N^2. \] Let \( c \) 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, \[ x_{N+1} \leq K N^{r-1}(1 + \alpha) + N^2 = K N^{r-1}(\alpha - t) + N^2 = K^{N+1} \left( K^{r-1} - N^r \right). \] (1.4.18) In order to ensure that \( x_{N+1} < K^{N+1}N^2 \), we need to fix \( K \). \[ K > \max \left( \frac{N^2}{K^{r-1}} \right). \] (1.4.19) In which the right member is clearly finite; the inductive step will go through.

Let a sequence \( \{x_n\} \) satisfy a recurrent inequality of the form \[ x_{n+1} \leq b_0 x_n + b_1 x_{n-1} + \ldots + b_{p-2} x_{n-p+1} + G(n) \quad (n \geq p) \] where \( b_i \geq 0 \) (\( \forall i, \sum_{i=0}^{p-1} b_i > 1 \)). Further, let \( c \) be the positive real root of the equation \( s^{p+1} = b_0 s^{p-1} + \ldots + b_{p-1} \). Finally, suppose \( G(n) = o(n^c) \). Then for every fixed \( \epsilon > 0 \) we have \( x_n = O(n^{c + \epsilon}) \). **Proof:** Fix \( \epsilon > 0 \), and let \( \alpha = c + \epsilon \), where \( c \) is the root of the equation shown in the statement of the theorem. Since \( \alpha > c \), if we let \[ t = \alpha^{p+1} - b_0 \alpha^p - \ldots - b_{p-1} \] then \[ K = \max \left\{ \frac{|x_1|}{a_0}, \frac{|x_2|}{a_1}, \max_{n \geq 2} \frac{G(n)}{K(n)^{\alpha - s}} \right\} \] Then \( K \) is finite, and clearly \( |x_j| \leq K a^j \) for \( j \leq p \). We claim that \( |x_n| \leq K a^n \) for all \( n \), which will complete the proof. Indeed, if the claim is true for \( 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n \), then \[ |x_{n+1}| \leq b_0 |x_n| + \ldots + b_{p-1} |x_{n-p+1}| + G(n) \] \[ \leq K a^n \left( b_0 K a^{n-1} + \ldots + b_{p-1} K a^{n-p} \right) + G(n) \] \[ = K a^n \left( K a^{p-1} \left( b_0 + \ldots + b_{p-1} \right) + G(n) \right) \] \[ = K a^{n+1} \left( t K^{\alpha - p} + G(n) \right) \leq K a^{n+1} \] ## Exercises for Section 1.4 1. Solve the following recurrence relations: 1. \( x_n = 2x_{n-3} + 3 \quad (n \geq 0; x_0 = 2) \) 2. \( x_{n+1} = 2x_n/3 + 2 \quad (n \geq 0; x_0 = 0) \) 3. \( x_{n+1} = 2x_n + 1 \quad (n \geq 0; x_0 = 0) \) 4. \( x_{n+1} = x_{n-1} + x_n + 1 \quad (n \geq 1; x_1 = 5) \) 5. \( x_{n+1} = x_n + x_{n-1} \quad (n \geq 1; x_0 = 0; x_1 = 3) \) 6. \( x_{n+1} = 4x_n - 4x_{n-1} \quad (n \geq 1; x_0 = 1; x_1 = 1) \) 2. Find \( d \) if the sequence \( x_n \) satisfies the Fibonacci recurrence relation and if furthermore \( x_0 = 1 \) and \( x_1 = 1 \) (\( n \to \infty \)). 3. Let \( L_n \) be the average number of trailing 0's in the binary expansions of all integers \( 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n-1 \). Find a recursive relation satisfied by the sequence \( \{x_n\} \), solve it, and evaluate \( \lim_{n \to \infty} x_n \). 4. For what values of \( a \) and \( b \) is it true that no matter what the initial values \( x_0, x_1 \) are, the solution of the recurrence relation \( x_{n+1} = a x_n + b x_{n-1} \) (\( n \geq 2 \)) is guaranteed to be \( O(1) \) (as \( n \to \infty \))? 5. Suppose \( x_0 = 1, x_1 = 1 \), and for all \( n \geq 2 \) it is true that \( x_{n+1} \leq F_n \). Prove your answer. 6. Generalize the result of exercise 5, as follows. Suppose \( x_0 = x_1 = y \), where \( y = 1 \) or \( y \geq 1 \). If furthermore, \( x_{n+1} \leq x_{n-1} \) (\( n \geq 2 \)), can we conclude that \( \forall n : x_n \leq y \)? If not, describe conditions on \( a \) and \( b \) under which that conclusion would follow. 7. Find the asymptotic behavior in the form \( x_n \sim f(n) \) of the right side of (1.4.10). * See exercise 10, below.

Show by an example that the conclusion of theorem 1.4.1 may be false if the phrase ‘for every fixed ϵ0 > 0...’ were replaced by ‘for every fixed ϵ > 0 ...’. 10. In theorem 1.4.1 we find the phrase: ‘…the positive real root of …’. 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? 1.5 Counting For a given positive integer n, consider the set {1,2,...,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 of the subsets of {2}, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}. There are 4 of them. We 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’t choose, the element ‘1’; then either choose, or don’t 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 2 of ways. The totality of n choices, therefore, might have been made in 2^n different ways, so that is the number of subsets that a set of n objects has. Next, 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 objects, so there are n(n − 1) possible ways to make these first two decisions. Then there are n − 2 choices for the third element, and so we have n(n − 1)(n − 2) ways to arrange the first three elements of the sequence. It is no doubt clear now that there are exactly n(n − 1)(n − 2)∙∙∙3∙2∙1 = n! ways to form the whole sequence. Of the n 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 whose cardinality is 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 S of [n] is it true that |S| = k? We can construct k-subsets S of [n] (written S ⸦ [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) ⸦⸦⸦ (n − k + 1) ways in which we might have chosen that sequence, so the number of ways to choose an (ordered) sequence of k elements from [n] is n(n − 1)(n − 2) ∙∙∙ (n − k + 1) = n!/(n − k)! But there are more sequences of k elements than there are k-subsets, because any particular k-subset S will correspond to k! different ordered sequences, namely all possible rearrangements of the elements of that 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 n!/[k!(n − k)!] k-subsets of a set of n objects. The quantities n!/[k!(n − k)!] are the famous binomial coefficients, and they are denoted by ( ) = n!/[k!(n − k)!] (n ≥ 0; 0 ≤ k ≤ n). Some of their special values are (n) = 1 ( ∀n ≥ 0); (n) = n ( ∀n ≥ 0); (k) = n(n − 1)/2 ( ∀n ≥ 0); (n) = 1 ( ∀n ≥ 0). ( 0 ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( n ) It is convenient to define (2) to be 0 if k < 0 or if k > n.

Write out a complete proof of theorem 1.4.1. 9. Show by an example that the conclusion of theorem 1.4.1 may be false if the phrase “for every fixed \( \varepsilon > 0 \)” were replaced by “for every fixed \( \varepsilon \geq 0 \) . . .” 10. In theorem 1.4.1, if we find the phrase “the positive real root of . . . ” 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? # 1.5 Counting For 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. We 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’t choose, the element \( 1 \); then either choose, or don’t 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. Next, 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. One 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 \( |S| = k \)? We 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 \[ n(n - 1)(n - 2) \cdots (n - k + 1) = \frac{n!}{(n - k)!} \quad (n \geq 0, 0 \leq k \leq n). \] But 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. The quantities \( \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!} \) are the famous binomial coefficients, and they are denoted by \[ \binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}, \quad (n \geq 0; 0 \leq k \leq n) \tag{1.5.1} \] Some of their special values are \[ \binom{n}{0} = 1 \quad (\text{for } n \geq 0); \quad \binom{n}{1} = n \quad (\text{for } n \geq 0); \quad \binom{n}{2} = \frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \quad (\text{for } n \geq 2); \quad \binom{n}{n} = 1 \quad (\text{for } n \geq 0). \] It is convenient to define \( \binom{n}{k} \) to be \( 0 \) if \( k < 0 \) or if \( k > n \).

There are exactly \( n! \) different sequences that can be formed from a set of \( n \) distinct objects. Since every subset of \( [n] \) has some cardinality, it follows that \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} = 2^n \quad (n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots). \] In view of the convention that we adopted, we might have written (1.5.2) as \( \sum_{k} \binom{n}{k} = 2^n \), with no restriction on the range of the summation index \( k \). It would then have been understood that the range of \( k \) is from \( -\infty \) to \( \infty \), and that the binomial coefficient \( \binom{n}{k} \) vanishes unless \( 0 \leq k \leq n \). In Table 1.5.1, we show the values of some of the binomial coefficients \( \binom{n}{k} \). The rows of the table are thought of as labelled ‘\( n = 0\), \( n = 1\), etc., and the entries within each row refer, successively, to \( k = 0, 1, \ldots, n \). The table is called "Pascal's triangle." | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----| | 0 | 1 | | | | | | 1 | 1 | 1 | | | | | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | | | | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | | 4 | 1 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 1 | | 5 | 1 | 5 | 10 | 10 | 5 | | 6 | 1 | 6 | 15 | 20 | 15 | | 7 | 1 | 7 | 21 | 35 | 21 | | 8 | 1 | 8 | 28 | 56 | 70 | **Table 1.5.1:** Pascal's triangle Here are some facts about the binomial coefficients: (a) Each row of Pascal's triangle is symmetric about the middle. That is, \[ \binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k} \quad (0 \leq k \leq n). \] (b) The sum of the entries in the \( n \)th row of Pascal’s triangle is \( 2^n \). (c) Each entry is equal to the sum of the two entries that are immediately above it in the triangle. The proof of (c) above can be interesting. What it says about the binomial coefficients is that \[ \binom{n}{k} = \binom{n-1}{k-1} + \binom{n-1}{k} \quad ((n,k) \neq (0,0)). \] There are (at least) two ways to prove (1.5.3). The hammer-and-tongs approach would consist of expanding each of the three binomial coefficients that appears in (1.5.3), using the definition (1.5.1) in terms of factorials, and then cancelling common factors to complete the proof. That would work (try it), but there’s another way. Contemplate (this proof is by contemplation) the totality of \( k \)-subsets of \( [n] \). The number of them is on the left side of (1.5.3). Sort them out into two piles: those \( k \)-subsets that contain ‘1’ and those that don’t. If a \( k \)-subset of \( [n] \) contains ‘1’, then \( k - 1 \) elements can be chosen in \( \binom{n-1}{k-1} \) ways, and that accounts for the first term on the right of (1.5.3). If a \( k \)-subset does not contain ‘1’, then its \( k \) elements are all chosen from \( [n-1] \), and that completes the proof of (1.5.3). Image Analysis: Certainly!

Equation (1.5) shows that the single biggest binomial coefficient accounts for a very healthy fraction of the sum of all of the coefficients of order n. 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. If 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. ## Exercises for section 1.5 1. How many subsets of even cardinality does \([n]\) have? 2. By observing that \((1 + x)^n(1 + x^2) = (1 + x)^{n+1}\), prove that the sum of the squares of all binomial coefficients of order n is \(2^n\). 3.

Find, by direct application of Taylor’s theorem, the power series expansion of \(f(x) = \frac{1}{1 - x}\) about the origin. Express the coefficients as certain binomial coefficients. 5. Complete the following twiddles. - (i) \(\binom{n}{r} \sim ?\) - (ii) \(\left( \binom{n}{r} \right)^{1/n} \sim ?\) - (iii) \(\left( \binom{n}{r} \right)^{1/r} \sim ?\) - (iv) \(\left( \binom{n}{r} \right)^{r/n} \sim ?\) 6. How many ordered pairs of unequal elements of \([n]\) are there? 7. Which one of the numbers \(\{2^{\binom{n}{2}}\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}\) is the biggest? ## 1.6 Graphs A graph is a collection of vertices, certain unordered pairs of which are called its edges. 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 \(E(G)\). If \(u\) 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 \(G\). Consider 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. The 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.

Fig. 1.6.4(a) shows a graph \( G \) and an attempt to color its vertices properly in 3 colors \( \{R, Y, B\} \). The attempt failed because one of the edges of \( G \) had the same color assigned to both of its endpoints. In Fig. 1.6.4(b) we show the same graph with a successful proper coloring of its vertices in 4 colors. **Fig. 1.6.4(a)** | **Fig. 1.6.4(b)** :------------------:|:------------------: ![Fig 1.6.4(a)](path/to/image1) | ![Fig 1.6.4(b)](path/to/image2) The chromatic number \( \chi(G) \) of a graph \( G \) is the minimum number of colors that can be used in a proper coloring of the vertices of \( G \). A **bipartite graph** is a graph whose chromatic number is \( \leq 2 \), i.e., it is a graph that can be 2-colored. This means that the vertices of a bipartite graph can be divided into two classes \( R \) and \( Y \) such that no edge of the graph runs between two \( R \) vertices or between two \( Y \) vertices. Bipartite graphs are most often drawn, as in Fig. 1.5.5, in two layers, with all edges running between layers. **Fig. 1.5.5:** A bipartite graph ![Fig 1.5.5](path/to/image) The complement \( \overline{G} \) of a graph \( G \) is the graph that has the same vertex set that \( G \) has and has an edge exactly where \( G \) does not have its edges. Formally, \[ E(\overline{G}) = \{(u, v) | u, v \in V(G); u \neq v; (u, v) \not\in E(G)\} \] Here are some special families of graphs that occur so often that they rate special names. The **complete graph** \( K_n \) is the graph of \( n \) vertices in which every possible one of the \( \binom{n}{2} \) edges is actually present. Thus, \( K_2 \) is a single edge, \( K_3 \) looks like a triangle, etc. The **empty graph** \( \overline{K_n} \) consists of \( n \) isolated vertices, i.e., it has no edges at all. The **complete bipartite graph** \( K_{m,n} \) has a set \( S \) of \( m \) vertices and a set \( T \) of \( n \) vertices. Its edge set is \( E(K_{m,n}) = S \times T \). It has \( |E(K_{m,n})| = mn \) edges. The **n-cycle**, \( C_n \), is a graph of \( n \) vertices that are connected to form a single cycle. A **tree** is a graph that (a) is connected and (b) has no cycles. A tree is shown in Fig. 1.6.6. **Fig. 1.6.6:** A tree ![Fig 1.6.6](path/to/image) 27 Image Analysis: ### Comprehensive Examination of the Attached Visual Content #### 1.

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. Now 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: 1. \( x[left] = T \) and 2. \( x[k] < T \) for all \( left < k < i \) and 3. \( x[j] \geq T \) for all \( i < j \leq right \) When line 9 executes, the array will be in the correctly split condition.

If we apply to marsel2 the reasoning that led to (2.3.2) we find: \[ f(n) \leq cm^2 + f(n - 1) + f(n - 3) \] where \( f(n) \) is once more the worst-case time bound for graphs of \( n \) vertices. Just as before, (2.3.3) is a recurrent inequality of the form that was studied at the end of section 1.4, in theorem 1.4.1. Using the conclusion of that theorem, we find from (2.3.3) that \( f(n) = O(c^n) \) where \( c = 1.46557 \). It is the positive root of the equation \( c^2 = c^2 + 1 \). The next result of our effort to improve marsel2 has been to reduce the running-time bound from \( O(1.619^n) \) to \( O(1.477^n) \), which isn’t a bad day’s work. In the exercises below we will develop marsel3, whose runtime will be \( O(1.391^n) \). The idea will be that since in marsel2 we were able to ensure that \( v \) had at least two neighbors, why not try to insure that \( v \) has at least 3 neighbors! As long as we have been able to reduce the time bound more and more by ensuring that the selected vertex has lots of neighbors, why don’t we keep it up, and insist that \( v \) should have 4 or more neighbors. Regrettably the intended route ran out of steam precisely at that moment. So why ask what the "trivial case" would look like. We would be working on a graph \( G \) in which vertices are more than 3 neighbors. Well, what "trivializing" shall we do in this "trivial case"? The fact is that there isn’t any way of finding the maximum independent set in a graph where all vertices have \( \leq 3 \) neighbors that’s any better than the general methods that we’ve already discussed. In fact, if one could find a fast method for that restricted problem it would have extremely important consequences because we would then be able to do all graphs rapidly, not just those special ones. #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 46 Context: # Chapter 2: Recursive Algorithms We will learn more about this phenomenon in Chapter 5, but for the moment let’s leave just the observation that the general problem of **marset** turns out to be no harder than the special case of **marset** in which no vertex has more than 3 neighbors. Aside from the complexity issue, the algorithm **marset** has shown how recursive ideas can be used to transform questions about graphs to questions about smaller graphs. Here’s another example of such a situation. Suppose \( G \) is a graph, and that we have a certain supply of colors available. To be exact, suppose we have \( k \) colors. We can then attempt to color the vertices of \( G \) properly in \( k \) colors (see section 1.6). If we don’t have enough colors, and \( G \) has lots of edges, this will not be possible. For example, suppose \( G \) is the graph of Fig. 2.3.4, and suppose we have just 3 colors available. Then there is no way to color the vertices without ever finding that both endpoints of some edge have the same color. On the other hand, if we have four colors available then we can do the job. ![Fig. 2.3.4](path_to_image) There are many interesting computational and theoretical problems in the area of coloring of graphs. Just for its general interest, we are going to mention the four-color theorem, and then we will turn to a study of some of the computational aspects of graph coloring. First, just for general cultural reasons, let’s slow down for a while and discuss the relationship between graph colorings in general and the four-color problem, even though it isn’t directly relevant to what we’re doing. The original question was this. Suppose that a delegation of Earthlings were to visit a distant planet and find there a society of human beings. Since that race is well known for its squabbling habits, you can be sure that the planet will have been carved up into millions of little countries, each with its own ruling class, system of government, etc., and of course, all at war with each other. The delegation wants to cease quickly, just before doing so it draws a careful map of the 5,000,000 countries into which the planet has been divided. To make the map easier to read, the countries are then colored in such a way that whenever two countries share a stretch of border they are of two different colors. Surprisingly, it was found that the coloring could be done using only red, blue, yellow, and green. It was noticed over 100 years ago that no matter how complicated a map is drawn, and no matter how many countries are involved, it seems to be possible to color the countries in such a way that 1. every pair of countries that have a common stretch of border have different colors and 2. no more than four colors are used in the entire map. It was then conjectured that four colors are always sufficient for the proper coloring of the countries of any map at all. Settling this conjecture turned out to be a very hard problem. It was finally solved in 1976 by K. Appel and W. Haken* by means of an extraordinary proof with two main ingredients. First they showed how to reduce the general problem to only a finite number of cases, by a mathematical argument. Then, since the "finite" number was quite large, they settled all of those cases with a lengthy computer calculation. So now we have the "Four Color Theorem," which asserts that no matter how we carve up the plane or the sphere into countries, we will always be able to color those countries with not more than four colors so that countries with a common frontier are colored differently. We can change the map coloring problem into a graph coloring problem as follows. Given a map, from the map we will construct a graph \( G \). There will be a vertex \( v \) for each country on the map. Two of these vertices will be connected by an edge of the graph \( G \) if the two countries that correspond to them share a common stretch of border (we keep saying "stretch of border" to emphasize that if two countries have just a single point in common they are allowed to have the same color).

We claim that the number of such colorings is equal to the number of all colorings of a certain new graph \( G/{\sim} \); whose construction we now describe: The vertices of \( G/{\sim} \) consist of the vertices of \( G \) other than \( v \) or \( w \) and one new vertex that we will call ‘new’ so \( G/{\sim} \) will have one less vertex than \( G \) has. Now we describe the edges of \( G/{\sim} \). First, if \( a \) and \( b \) are two vertices of \( G/{\sim} \) neither of which is the new vertex ‘new’, then \( (a, b) \) is an edge of \( G/{\sim} \) if and only if it is an edge of \( G \). Second, \( (v, b) \) is an edge of \( G/{\sim} \) if and only if either \( b \) is \( v \) or \( b \) is an edge of \( G \). We can think of this as ‘collapsing’ the graph \( G \) by imaging that the edges of \( G \) are elastic bands, and that we squeeze vertices \( v \) and \( w \) together into a single vertex. The result is \( G/{\sim} \) (anyway, it is if we replace any resulting double bands by single ones). In Fig. 2.3.7(a) we show a graph \( G \) of \( t \) vertices and a chosen edge \( e \). The two endpoints of \( e \) are \( v \) and \( w \). In Fig. 2.3.7(b) we show the graph \( G/{\sim} \) that is the result of the construction that we have just described. ![Fig. 2.3.7(a)](fig23-7a.png) ![Fig. 2.3.7(b)](fig23-7b.png) The point of the construction is the following: ## Lemma 2.3.1. Let \( v \) and \( w \) be two vertices of \( G \) such that \( e = (v, w) \in E(G) \). Then the number of proper \( K \)-colorings of \( G - \{e\} \) in which \( v \) and \( w \) have the same color is equal to the number of all proper colorings of the graph \( G/{\sim} \). **Proof.** Suppose \( G/{\sim} \) has a proper \( K \)-coloring. Color the vertices of \( G - \{e\} \) itself in \( K \) colors as follows. Every vertex of \( G - \{e\} \) other than \( v \) or \( w \) keeps the same color that it has in the coloring of \( G/{\sim} \). Vertex \( v \) and vertex \( w \) receive the color that vertex \( uv \) has in the coloring of \( G/{\sim} \). Now we have a \( K \)-coloring of the vertices of \( G - \{e\} \). It is a proper coloring because if \( j \) is any edge of \( G - \{e\} \) then the two endpoints \( j \) and \( j' \) have different proper colors. Indeed, this is obviously true if either endpoint of \( j \) is \( v \) or \( w \) because the coloring of \( G/{\sim} \) was a proper one. There remains only the case where one endpoint of \( j \) is, say, \( u \) but the other is some vertex \( z \) other than \( v \) or \( w \). But then the colors of \( u \) and \( z \) must be different because they are not joined in \( G/{\sim} \) by an edge, and therefore must have gotten different colors there. ## Lemma 2.3.2. Let \( e = (v, w) \) be an edge of \( G \). Then the number of proper \( K \)-colorings of \( G - \{e\} \) in which \( v \) and \( w \) have different colors is equal to the number of all proper \( K \)-colorings of \( G \) itself. **Proof.** Obvious (isn't it?). Now let’s put together the results of the two lemmas above. Let \( P(K; G) \) denote the number of ways of properly coloring the vertices of a given graph \( G \). Then lemmas 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 assert that: \[ P(K; G - \{e\}) = P(K; G/{\sim}) + P(K; G) \] 44 Image Analysis: ### Analysis of the Attached Visual Content #### 1.

We claim that it is, in fact, a polynomial in \( K \) of degree \( |V(G)| \). For instance, if \( G \) is the complete graph on \( n \) vertices then obviously \( P(K; G) = K(K - 1) \cdots (K - n + 1) \), and that is indeed a polynomial in \( K \) of degree \( n \). **Proof of claim:** The claim is certainly true if \( G \) has just one vertex. Next suppose the assertion is true for graphs of \( < V \) vertices, then we claim it is true for graphs of \( V \) vertices also. This is surely true if \( G \) has \( V \) vertices and no edges at all. Hence, suppose it is true for all graphs of \( V \) vertices and fewer than \( E \) edges. Then (2.3.4) implies that \( P(K; G) \) is a polynomial of the required degree \( E \) because \( G - \{e\} \) has fewer edges than \( G \) does, so its chromatic polynomial is a polynomial of degree \( V \). \( G / \{e\} \) has fewer vertices than \( G \) has, and so \( P(K; G / \{e\}) \) is a polynomial of lower degree. The claim is proved, by induction. Equation (2.3.4) gives a recursive algorithm for computing the chromatic polynomial of a graph \( G \), since the two graphs that appear on the right are both ‘smaller’ than \( G \), one in the sense that it has fewer edges than \( G \) has, and the other in that it has fewer vertices. The algorithm is the following. ```plaintext function chromopoly(G: graph): polynomial; // computes the chromatic polynomial of a graph G if G has no edges then chromopoly = K^{|V(G)|} else choose an edge e of G; chromopoly = chromopoly(G - {e}) - chromopoly(G / {e}) end (chromopoly) ``` Next we are going to look at the complexity of the algorithm chromopoly (we will also refer to it as ‘the delete-and-identify’ algorithm). The graph \( G \) can be input in any one of a number of ways. For example, we might input the list of edges of \( G \), as a list of pairs of vertices. The first step of the computation is to choose the edge \( e \) and to create the edge list of the graph \( G - \{e\} \). The latter operation is trivial, since all we have to do is to ignore one edge in the list. Next we call chromopoly on the graph \( G - \{e\} \). The third step is to create the edge list of the collapsed graph \( G / \{e\} \) from the edge list of \( G \) itself. That involves some work, but it is rather routine, and the cost is linear in the number of edges of \( G \), say \( |E(G)| \). Finally we call chromopoly on the graph \( G / \{e\} \). Let \( F(V, E) \) denote the maximum cost of calling chromopoly on any graph of at most \( V \) vertices and at most \( E \) edges. Then we see at once that \[ F(V, E) \leq F(V, E - 1) + cE + F(V - 1, E - 1) \tag{2.3.5} \] together with \( F(V, 0) = 0 \). If we put, successively, \( E = 1, 2, 3, \) we find that \( F(V, 1) < c, F(V, 2) < 2c, \) and \( F(V, 3) \leq 3c \). Hence we seek a solution of (2.3.5) in the form \( F(V, E) \leq E(c) \), and we quickly find that if \[ f(E) = 2Ef(E - 1) + E \tag{2.3.6} \] then we will have such a solution. Since (2.3.6) is a first-order difference equation of the form (1.4.5), we find that \[ f(E) = 2E \sum_{j=0}^{E-1} j^2 \sim \frac{2E^3}{3} \tag{2.3.7} \] Image Analysis: ### Analysis of the Visual Content --- **Localization and Attribution:** - **Document Page Location:** This is a single page of the document shown in the image. - **Image Numbering:** This is Image 1 of the document. **Text Analysis:** - **Text Detected and Extracted:** - Section Title: "2.3 Recursive graph algorithms" - Mathematical Expressions: Present throughout the text (e.g., P(K;G) = P(K;G - {e}) - P(K;G/{e}), chrompoly(G), etc.) - Paragraph Descriptions: The text provides detailed explanations of recursive graph algorithms, focusing heavily on the chromatic polynomial of a graph and various procedures to compute it. - Pseudocode: A function named `chrompoly(G: graph): polynomial` described with conditional logic. - Equations: References to various equations such as (2.3.4), (2.3.5), (2.3.6), and (2.3.7). **Diagram and Chart Analysis:** - **No diagrams or charts present:** **Product Analysis:** - **No products present:** **Scene and Activity Analysis:** - **No scenes or activities present:** **Graph and Trend Analysis:** - **No graphs present:** **Tables:** - **No tables present:** **Anomaly Detection:** - **No anomalies or unusual elements detected:** **Color Analysis:** - **Color Composition:** The page primarily features black text on a white background.

Show that, for every \( G \), \( \alpha(G) \geq n/\chi(G) \). ## 2.4 Fast matrix multiplication Everybody knows how to multiply two \( 2 \times 2 \) matrices. If we want to calculate \[ \begin{pmatrix} c_{11} & c_{12} \\ c_{21} & c_{22} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \end{pmatrix} \] (2.1) then, "of course," \[ c_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{2} a_{ik} b_{kj} \quad (i,j=1,2). \] (2.2) Now look at (2.4.2) a little more closely. In order to calculate each one of the \( c_{ij} \)'s we have to do 2 multiplications of numbers. The cost of multiplying two \( 2 \times 2 \) matrices is therefore 8 multiplications of numbers. If we measure the cost in units of additions of numbers, the cost is 4 such additions. Hence, the matrix multiplication method that is shown in (2.4.1) has a complexity of \( 8 \) multiplications of numbers and \( 4 \) additions of numbers. This may seem rather unsettling, but the best ideas often have humble origins. Suppose you could find another way of multiplying two \( 2 \times 2 \) matrices in which the cost was only 7 multiplications of numbers, together with more than 4 additions of numbers. What would be a cause for dancing in the streets, or would it be just a curiosity, of little importance? In fact, it would be extremely important, and the consequences of such a step were fully appreciated only in 1965 by V. Strassen, to whom the ideas that we are now discussing are due. What we’re going to do next in this section is the following: (a) Describe another way of multiplying two \( 2 \times 2 \) matrices in which the cost will be only 7 multiplications of numbers plus a bunch of additions of numbers, and (b) Convince you that it was worth the trouble. The usefulness of the ideas stems from the following amazing fact: if two \( 2 \times 2 \) matrices can be multiplied with only \( 7 \) multiplications of numbers, then two \( N \times N \) matrices can be multiplied using only \( O(N^{2.81}) \). * V.

C22 := II + I11 - V11 end; (Matr_Prod) Note that this procedure calls itself recursively 7 times. The plus and minus signs in the program each represent an addition or subtraction of two matrices, and therefore each one of these involves a call to a matrix addition or subtraction procedure (just the usual method of adding, nothing fancy!). Therefore the function Matr_Prod makes 25 calls, 7 of which are recursively to itself, and 18 of which are to a matrix addition/subtraction routine. We will study the complexity of the routine in two ways. We will count the number of multiplications of numbers that are needed to multiply two `2^n x 2^n` matrices using Matr_Prod (call that number f(n)), and then we will count the number of additions of numbers (call it g(n)) that Matr_Prod needs in order to multiply two `2^n x 2^n` matrices. The multiplications of numbers are easy to count. Matr_Prod calls itself f(n) times, in each of which it does exactly f(n - 1) multiplications of numbers, hence f(n) = 7f(n - 1) and f(0) = 1. Therefore we see that f(n) = 7^n for all n ≥ 0. Hence Matr_Prod does `m` multiplications of numbers in order to do one multiplication of `N x N` matrices. Let's take the last sentence in the above paragraph and replace `2^n` by `n` throughout. It then tells us that Matr_Prod does `log_2 N` log_2 N multiplications of numbers in order to do one multiplication of `N x N` matrices. Since `n log N/log 2 ≈ n^2...`, we see that Strassen's method uses only `O(N^{log_2 7})` multiplications of numbers, in place of the `N^3` multiplications that are required by the usual formulas. It remains to count the additions/subtractions of numbers that are needed by Matr_Prod. In each call to it, it is recursive calls to itself Mat_Prod does g(n) = 1 additions of numbers. In each of its 18 calls to the procedure that adds or subtracts matrices it does a number of additions of numbers that is equal to the square of the size of the matrices that are being added or subtracted. That size is `2^{n-1}`, so in the 18 such calls does `2^{n-2}` additions of numbers. It follows that g(0) = 0 and for n ≥ 1 we have g(n) = 7g(n - 1) + 18 * 2^{n - 2} = T(g(n - 1)) + 18 * 2^{(n - 2)} We follow the method of section 1.4 on this first-order linear difference equation. Hence we make the change of variable y(n) = g(n) - T(g(n - 1)) (n ≥ 0) and we find that y(0) = 0 and for n ≥ 1, y_n = 9/2 ∑_{i=1}^{n} (4/7)^i ≤ 9/2 ∑_{i=1}^{n} (4/7)^i = 21/2. ``` Image Analysis: **Text Analysis:** 1. **Image 1** - **Detected Text:** ``` function MatProd(A, B: matrix; N: integer): matrix; {MatProd is AB, where A and B are N x N} {uses Strassen method} if N is not a power of 2 then border A and B by rows and columns of OS until their size is the next power of 2 and change N; if N = 1 then MatProd := AB else partition A and B as shown in (2.4.5); I := MatProd(A11 + A22, B11 + B22, N/2); II := MatProd(A21 + A22, B11, N/2); III := MatProd(A11, B12 - B22, N/2); IV := MatProd(A22, B21 - B11, N/2); V := MatProd(A11 + A12, B22, N/2); VI := MatProd(A22, B21 - B11, N/2); VII := MatProd(A11, B21 + B22, N/2); etc. etc., through all of the formulas shown in (2.4.3), (2.4.4), ending with ...

However, the Fourier transform of the shorter sequence (2.5.9) is defined for only \( 2^{r-1} \) values of \( j \) namely for \( j = 0, \ldots, 2^{r-1} - 1 \). So if we calculate the first sum by a recursive call, then we will need its values for \( j \) that are outside the range for which it was computed. This problem is no sooner recognized than solved. Let \( Q(j) \) denote the first sum in (2.5.8). Then we claim that \( Q(j) \) is a periodic function of \( j \), of period \( 2^{r-1} \): \[ Q(j + 2^{r-1}) = \sum_{m=0}^{2^{r-1}-1} x_m \exp(2\pi i (j + 2^{r-1})/2^r) \] \[ = \sum_{m=0}^{2^{r-1}-1} x_m \exp(2\pi i j / 2^r) \exp(2\pi i m/2^{r-1}) = \sum_{m=0}^{2^{r-1}-1} x_m \exp(2\pi i j / 2^r) \cdot \exp(2\pi i m/2^{r-1}) = Q(j) \quad \text{(2.5.11)} \] for all integers \( j \). If \( Q(j) \) has been computed only for \( 0 \leq j \leq 2^{r-1} - 1 \) and if we should want its value for some \( j \geq 2^{r} \), then we can get that value by asking for \( Q(j \mod 2^{r-1}) \). Now we can state the recursive form of the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm in the most important case where \( n \) is a power of 2. In the algorithm we will use the type `complexarray` to denote an array of complex numbers. ```matlab function FFT(x: complexarray): complexarray; % computes Fast Fourier transform of n = 2^k numbers x if n == 1 then FFT[0] := x[0] end if; evenarray := {x[0], x[2], ..., x[n - 2]}; oddarray := {x[1], x[3], ..., x[n - 1]}; {u[0], u[1], ..., u[n - 1]} := FFT(n/2, evenarray); {v[0], v[1], ..., v[n - 1]} := FFT(n/2, oddarray); for j = 0 to n/2 - 1 do x[j] := u[j] + exp(2\pi i * j/n) * v[j]; x[j + n/2] := u[j] - exp(2\pi i * j/n) * v[j]; end for; end function; ``` Let \( y(k) \) denote the number of multiplications of complex numbers that will be done if we call FFT on an array whose length is \( n = 2^k \). The call to FFT(n/2, evenarray) costs \( y(k - 1) \) multiplications as does the call to FFT(n/2, oddarray). The for loop \( j = 0 \) to \( n/2 - 1 \) requires \( n \) more multiplications. Hence, \[ y(k) = 2y(k - 1) + 2^k \quad (k \geq 1); \quad y(0) = 0. \quad (2.5.12) \] If we change variables by writing \( y(k) = 2^{k+1} - 2 \), then that is \( y(k) = 2(k + 1) \), together with \( y(0) = 0 \), and therefore that \( y(k) = k2^{k+1} \). This proves **Theorem 2.5.1.** The Fourier transform of a sequence of \( n \) complex numbers is computed using \( O(n \log n) \) multiplications of complex numbers by means of the procedure FFT, if \( n \) is a power of 2. Next* we will discuss the situation when \( n \) is not a power of 2. The reader may observe that by 'padding out' the input array with additional 0's we can extend the length of the array until it becomes a power of 2, and then call the FFT procedure that we have already.

To find the solution in a pleasant form, let n = p^aqi^a ... p_ka^ak (2.5.19) be the canonical factorization of n into primes. We claim that the function H(n) = a1 (p − 1) + a(p − 1) + acp2 − 1) + ...+ a (p − 1) (2.5.20) is the solution of (2.5.18) (this claim is obviously (x) correct if n is prime). To prove the claim in general, suppose it to be true for 1... 1, and suppose that n is not prime. Then every divisor d of n must be of the form d = p^i, pzp^, .. . Heat where the primes are the same as those that appear in (2.5.19) and each h, is 4; < a,. Hence from (2.5.18) we get H(n) = min((a − b)(p − 1) + ...to + ... (a − b)(p − 1) + p^i . pAl ... pa ^ 1) − 1 where now the 'min' extends over all admissible choices of the 's, namely exponents 4,..., such that 0 bi s ai (v i = 1, s) and not all bi are 0 and not all al) b = cl. One such admissible choice would be to take, say, b, = 1 and all other a, 0. If we let H(hi...b) denote the quantity in braces in (2.5.21), then with this choice the value of H would be a,(p, – 1) + ... (a(p, – 1) + exactly what we need to prove our claim (2.5.20). Hence what we have to show is that the above choice of the 's is the best one. We will show that if one of the b, is larger than 1 then we can reduce it without increasing the value of H. To prove this, observe that for each i = 1, s we have H(d, ...b, b + 1, ...b) – H(hi..., b) = – p^b + 41(a _ 1) = d – 1)(p –1). Since the divisor d 2 and the prime 'i' 2, the last difference is nonnegative. Hence H doesn’t increase if we decrease one of the bi's by 1 unit, as long as not all bi = 0. It follows that the minimum of H occurs among the prime divisors of d n. Further, if dis prime, then we can easily check from (2.5.21) that it doesn't matter which prime divisor of 'n that we choose to be + d, the function H(n) is always given by (2.5.20). If we recall the change of variable g(y) = nli(y) we find that we have proved Theorem 2.5.2. (Complexity of the Fast Fourier Transform) The best choice of the factorization 'n to nodes in algorithm FFT is to take r, to be a prime divisor of n. If that is done, then algorithm FFT requires g(n) = a(p_ (p, – 1) + a(p – 1) + ...+ a(p, 1)) complex multiplications in order to do its job, where n = p^i . pa^ ... ... pg, f is the canonical factorization of the integer 'n. Table 2.5.1 shows the number g(y) of complex multiplications required by FFT as a function of 'n. The saving over the straightforward algorithm that uses n(n – 1) multiplications for each is is apparent. If it is a power of 2, Say n = 2', then the formula of theorem 2.5.2 reduces to g(y) In log/n/g log 2, i agreement with theorem 2.5.1. What does the formula say if n is a power of 3? It if is a product of distinct primes? 2.6 Applications of the FFT Finally, we will discuss some applications of the FFT. A family of such applications begins with the observation that the FFT provides the fastest game in town for multiplying two polynomials together.

By using ideas that developed directly (though not at all trivially) from the ones that we have been discussing, Schönhage and Strassen found the fastest known method for doing such large-scale multiplications of integers.

Sorting is an easy computational problem. The most obvious way to sort an array elements takes time \( \Theta(n^2) \). We discussed a recursive algorithm that sorts in an average time of \( \Theta(n \log n) \). Finding a maximum independent set in a graph is a hard computational problem. The most obvious way to do it might take time \( \Omega(2^{|V|}) \) if the graph \( G \) has \( V \) vertices. We discussed a recursive method that runs in time \( O(1.39^n) \). The best known methods run in time \( O(2^{|V|/3}) \). Finding out if a graph is \( k \)-colorable is a hard computational problem. The most obvious way to do it takes time \( O(k^n) \), if \( G \) has \( n \) vertices. We also discussed methods that run in time \( O(1.5^n) \) if \( G \) has \( m \) edges. One recently developed method *runs in time* \( O(1.5^n) \). We will see in section 5.7 that this problem can be done in an average time that is \( O(1) \) for fixed \( k \).

It must be emphasized that the creation of the tree of recursions is done by the compiler without any further effort on the part of the programmer. As long as we’re here, how does a compiler go about making such a tree? It does it by using an auxiliary stack. It adopts the philosophy that if it is asked to do two things at once, well after all, it can’t do that, so it does one of those two things and drops the other request on top of a stack of unfinished business. When it finishes executing the first request, it goes to the top of the stack to find out what to do next. ## Example Let’s follow the compiler through its tribulations as it attempts to deal with our request for maximum independent set size that appears in Fig. 2.3.3. We begin by asking for the `maxset` of the 5-cycle. Our program immediately makes two recursive calls to `maxset`, one for each of the two graphs that appear on the second level of the tree in Fig. 2.3.3. The stack is initially empty. The compiler says to itself ‘I can’t do these both at once’, and it puts the right-hand graph (involving vertices \(3, 4\)) on the stack, and proceeds to call itself on the left hand graph (vertices \(2, 3, 4, 5\)). When it tries to do that one, of course, two more graphs are generated, of which the right-hand one (4,5) is dropped onto the stack, on top of the graph that previously lived there, so now two graphs are on the stack, awaiting processing, and the compiler is dealing with the graph \( (3, 4, 5) \). This time the graph of just one vertex \( (5) \) is dropped onto the stack, which now holds three graphs, as the compiler works on \( (4, 5) \). Next, that graph is broken up into \( (5) \), and an empty graph, which is dutifully dropped onto the stack, so the compiler can work on \( (5) \). Finally, something fruitful happens: the graph \( (5) \) has no edges, so the program `maxset` gives, in its trivial case, very specific instructions as to how to deal with this graph. We now know that the graph that consists of just the single vertex \( (5) \) has a `maxset` value of 1. The compiler next reacts for the graph on top of the stack, finds that it is the empty graph, which has no edges at all, and therefore its `maxset` size is 0. Now it knows the \( n_1 = 1 \) and \( n_2 = 0 \) values that appear in the algorithm `maxset`, and therefore it can execute the instruction `maxset(n1, 1 + n2)`, from which it finds that the value of `maxset` for the graph \( (4, 5) \) is 1, and it continues from there, to dig itself out of the stack of unfinished business. In general, if it is trying to execute `maxset` on a graph that has edges, it will drop the graph \( G - \{v^* - N(v^*)\} \) on the stack and try to do the graph \( G - \{v\} \). The reader should try to write out, as a formal algorithm, the procedure that we have been describing, whereby the compiler deals with a recursive computation that branches into two sub-computations until a trivial case is reached.

It has also generated algorithmic questions that have been in a state of extremely rapid development in the past 20 years. Altogether, the fastest algorithms that are now known for the problem are much faster, and some are much simpler, than the ones that were in use a short time ago, but it is still unclear how close to the ‘ultimate’ algorithm we are. ### Definition A **network** is an edge-capacitated directed graph, with two distinguished vertices called the source and the sink. To repeat that, this time a little more slowly, suppose first that we are given a directed graph (digraph) \( G \). That is, we are given a set of vertices, and a set of ordered pairs of these vertices, these pairs being the edges of the digraph. It is perfectly OK to have both an edge from \( u \) to \( v \) and an edge from \( v \) to \( u \), or both, or neither, for all \( u \neq v \). No edge \( (u, v) \) is permitted. If an edge is directed from vertex \( u \) to vertex \( v \), then \( u \) is the initial vertex of \( e \) and \( v \) is the terminal vertex of \( e \). We may then write \( v = \text{Tail}(e) \). Next, in a network, there is associated with each directed edge \( e \) of the digraph a positive real number called its capacity, and denoted by \( \text{cap}(e) \). Finally, two of the vertices of the digraph are distinguished. One, \( s \), is the source, and the other, \( t \), is the sink of the network. We will let \( X \) denote the resulting network. It consists of the digraph \( G \), the given set of edge capacities, the source, and the sink. A network is shown in Fig. 3.1.1. ![Fig. 3.1.1: A network](#) Now roughly speaking, we can think of the edges of \( G \) as conduits for a fluid, the capacity of each edge being the carrying-capacity of the edge for that fluid. Imagine that the fluid flows in the network from the source to the sink, in such a way that the amount of fluid in each edge does not exceed the capacity of that edge. We want to know the maximum net quantity of fluid that could be flowing from source to sink. That was a rough description of the problem; here it is more precisely. ### Definition A **flow** in a network \( X \) is a function \( f \) that assigns to each edge \( e \) of the network a real number \( f(e) \), in such a way that: 1. For each edge \( e \), we have \( 0 \leq f(e) \leq \text{cap}(e) \). 2. For each vertex \( v \) other than the source and the sink, it is true that \[ \sum_{v \text{ enters } e} f(e) = \sum_{v \text{ exits } e} f(e). \tag{3.1.1} \] 63 Image Analysis: ### Analysis of Attached Visual Content #### Localization and Attribution: 1. **Image 1 Location:** - **Position:** Center of the page. - **Number:** Image 1. - **Assigned Number:** Image 1. #### Object Detection and Classification: 1. **Image 1:** - **Objects Detected:** - Nodes (representing vertices in the network). - Directed edges (arrows between nodes). - Numeric values on edges (representing capacities). - Text labels within the diagram. - **Classification by Category:** - Graphical elements: Nodes, edges, and numeric values. - Informative text: Labels such as source \( s \), sink \( t \), and edge capacities. #### Scene and Activity Analysis: 1. **Image 1:** - **Scene Description:** - The image depicts a directed graph with nodes and edges, where each edge has a label representing the capacity (numerical value). - **Activities Taking Place:** - Visualization of a network flow problem, showing how nodes (vertices) are connected through directed edges (arrows). #### Text Analysis: 1. **Detected Text:** - **Title:** Fig. 3.1.1.: A network - **Edge Capacities:** 10, 30, 20, 25, 10, 15, 5, 15. - **Node Labels:** Include 's' for source and 't' for sink. - **Flow Conservation Equation:** \(\sum_{\text{Init}(e)=v} f(e) = \sum_{\text{Term}(e)=v} f(e)\). 2. **Content Analysis:** - **Significance:** - The edge capacities define the constraints for each directed connection between the nodes in the network. - The flow conservation equation ensures the balance of flows at each node (excluding the source and sink). #### Diagram and Chart Analysis: 1. **Axes, Scales, and Legends:** - **Axes:** Not applicable. - **Scales:** Edge capacities are depicted as numerical values on the edges. - **Legends:** Not explicitly present, but source \( s \) and sink \( t \) are distinguishable. 2. **Key Insights:** - Different capabilities show how much flow can pass through each edge. - The connectivity provides insights into potential flow routes from the source to the sink. #### Process Descriptions: 1. **Network Flow Description:** - The network consists of a directed graph with edges indicating possible paths between nodes. - Capacities on edges restrict the amount of flow that can pass through. - The goal is to maximize the flow from the source \( s \) to the sink \( t \) while adhering to capacity limits and flow conservation rules. #### Perspective and Composition: 1. **Image 1:** - **Perspective:** - Frontal view of the network graph, displaying nodes and edges clearly. - **Composition:** - Centered graph with nodes and edges, edge capacities positioned to define routes and constraints effectively. ### Summary: The visual content, primarily featuring a directed graph, represents a network flow problem.

In this family, evaluate all of the complexity bounds in Table 3.2.1 and find the fastest algorithm for the family. Among the algorithms in Table 3.2.1 we will discuss just two in detail. The first will be the original algorithm of Ford and Fulkerson, because of its importance and its simplicity, if not for its speed. The second will be the 1978 algorithm of Malhotra, Pramodh-Kumar and Maleshwari (MPM), for three reasons. 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. ## 3.3 The algorithm of Ford and Fulkerson The 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. In 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. **Fig. 3.3.1:** A flow augmenting path \[ \begin{array}{cccc} & 5 & \to & 10 \\ \rightarrow & & 15 & \\ \end{array} \] **Fig. 3.3.2:** The path above, after augmentation.

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

We 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. To complete the proof of the theorem we will show that a flow of maximum value, which surely exists, must saturate the edges of some cut. **3.5 The Complexity of the Ford-Fulkerson Algorithm** The 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 \( (W, \overline{W}) \) is a minimum cut of the network, and the present value of the flow is the desired maximum for the network. The question now is, how long does it take to arrive at that stage, and indeed, is it guaranteed that we will ever get there? We are asking if the algorithm is finite, surely the most primitive complexity question imaginable. First consider the case where every edge of the given network \( X \) has integer capacity. Then during the labeling and flow augmentation algorithms, various additions and subtractions are done, but there is no way that any nonintegral flows can be produced. It follows that the augmented flow is still integral. The value of the flow is increased by an integer amount during each augmentation. On the other hand if, say, \( C^* \) denotes the combined capacity of all edges that are outbound from the source, then it is eminently clear that the value of the flow can never exceed \( C^* \). Since the value of the flow increases by at least 1 unit per augmentation, we see that no more than \( C^* \) flow augmentations will be needed before a maximum flow is reached. This yields ... **Significance:** The text describes procedural and theoretical aspects of network flow problems, specifically dealing with the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm and its properties.

This is good news and bad news. The good news is that the algorithm is finite. The bad news is that the complexity estimate that we have proved depends not only on the numbers of edges and vertices in \( X \), but on the edge capacities. If the bound \( C^* \) represents the true behavior of the algorithm, rather than some weakness in our analysis of the algorithm, then even on very small networks it will be possible to assign edge capacities so that the algorithm takes a very long time to run. And it is possible to do that. We will show below an example due to Ford and Fulkerson in which the situation is even worse than the one envisaged above: not only will the algorithm take a very long time to run; it won't converge at all! Consider the network \( X \) that is shown in Fig. 3.5.1. It has 10 vertices \( s, t, v_1, \ldots, v_4 \). There are directed edges \( (x_i, y_j) \forall i \neq j, (y_j, y_k) \forall j \neq k, (s, v_i) \forall i, (v_4, s) \) and \( (y_j, t) \forall j \). ![Fig. 3.5.1: How to give the algorithm a hard time](path_to_image) In this network, the four edges \( A_i = (v_i, y_i) \) \( (i = 1, 4) \) will be called the special edges. Next we will give the capacities of the edges of \( X \). Write \( r = (-1 + \sqrt{5})/2 \) and let \[ S = (3 + \sqrt{5})/2 = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} r^n. \] Then to every edge of \( X \) except the four special edges we assign the capacity \( S \). The special edges \( A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4 \) are given capacities \( 1, r, r^2 \), respectively (you can see that this is going to be interesting). Suppose, for our first augmentation step, we find the flow augmenting path \( s \to v_1 \to y_1 \to t \) and that we augment the flow by 1 unit along that path. The four special edges will then have residual capacities (excesses of capacity over flow) of \( 0, r^*, r^{**} \), respectively. Inductively, suppose we have arrived at a stage of the algorithm where the four special edges, taken in some rearrangement \( A_i', A_2', A_3', A_4' \), have residual capacities \( 0, r^*, r^{**,n+1} \). We will show that the algorithm might next do two flow augmentation steps the net result of which would be that the state of affairs would again hold, with \( n \) replaced by \( n + 1 \). Indeed, choose the flow augmenting path \[ s \to v_2' \to y_3' \to v_3' \to t. \] Image Analysis: **1.

In Fig. 3.6.2, we show specifically the layered network that results from the network of Fig. 3.1.2 with the flow shown therein. ![Fig. 3.6.2: A layering of the network in Fig. 3.1.2](path/to/image2.png) The next question is this: exactly what problem would we like to solve on the layered network \( Y \), and what is the relationship of that problem to the original network flow problem in the original network \( X \)? The answer is that in the layered network \( Y \) we are looking for a blocking flow \( g \). By a blocking flow we mean a flow function \( g \) in \( Y \) such that every path from source to sink in \( Y \) has at least one saturated edge. This immediately raises two questions: 1. What can we do if we find a blocking flow in \( Y \)? 2. How can we find a blocking flow in \( Y \)? The remainder of this section will be devoted to answering (b). In the next section we will give an elegant answer to (a). Suppose that we have somehow found a blocking flow function, \( g \), in \( Y \). What we do with it is that we use it to augment the flow function \( f \) in \( X \), as follows: ``` procedure augment(f, X, g, Y): {augment flow f in X by using a blocking flow g in the corresponding layered network Y} for every edge \( e: u \rightarrow v \) of the layered network \( Y \): do increase the flow in the edge \( u \rightarrow v \) of the network \( X \) by the amount \[ \min(g(e), \text{cap}(u \rightarrow v) - f(u \rightarrow v)) \] if not all of \( g(e) \) has been used then decrease the flow in edge \( e \rightarrow v \) by the unused portion of \( g(e) \) end.augment ``` 74 Image Analysis: ### Image Analysis #### 1.

The various activities that are now being described may sound like some kind of thinly disguised repackaging of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm, but they aren’t just that, because here is what can be proved to happen: 1. First, if we start with zero flow in \( X \), make the layered network \( Y \), find a blocking flow in \( Y \), augment the flow in \( X \), make a new layered network \( Y \), find a blocking flow, etc., and then, after at most \( V \) phases (“phase” = layer + block + augment) we will have found the maximum flow in \( X \) and the process will halt. 2. 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 \( O(V) \). By 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’s now show **Theorem 3.6.1.** The heights of the layered networks that occur in the consecutive phases of the solution of a network flow problem form a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers. Hence, for a network \( X \) with \( V \) vertices, there can be at most \( V \) places before a maximum flow is found. Let \( Y(p) \) 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 **Lemma 3.6.1.** If \[ v_0 \to v_1 \to v_2 \to \cdots \to v_m \quad (v_0 = \text{source}) \] is a path in \( Y(p + 1) \), and if every vertex \( v_i \) (for \( i = 1, \ldots, m \)) of that path also appears in \( Y(p) \), then for every \( a = 0, m \) it is true that if vertex \( v_a \) was in layer \( l \) of \( Y(p) \) then \( 2 \geq b \). **Proof of lemma:** The result is clearly true for \( a = 0 \). Suppose it is true for \( v_0, v_1, \ldots, v_k \), and suppose \( v_{k+1} \) was in layer \( c \) of network \( Y(p) \). We will show that \( a + 1 \leq c \). Indeed, if not then \( c > a + 1 \). Since \( v_a \) was not present in network \( Y(p) \) since the two vertices were not in the same layers. Hence the flow in \( Y \) between \( v_a \) and \( v_{k+1} \) could not have been affected by the augmentation procedure of phase \( p \). But edge \( v_i \) is in \( Y(p + 1) \). Therefore it represented an edge of \( Y \) that at the beginning of phase \( p + 1 \) was unaffected by phase \( p \), but was not helpful at the beginning of phase \( p \). This contradiction establishes the lemma. Now we will prove the theorem. Let \[ s \to v_1 \to v_2 \to \cdots \to v_{H(p)+1} \to t \] be a path from source to sink in \( Y(p + 1) \). Consider first the case where every vertex of the path also lies in \( Y(p) \) and let \( m = 1 \) (i.e. \( H(p + 1) = a \)). We conclude that \( H(p + 1) > H(p) \). Now we want to exclude the \( v_i \)’s from \( Y(p + 1) \) = \( H(p) \) in the entire path in \( Y(p) \) and \( Y(p + 1) \), and so all of the edges in \( Y \) that the edges of the path represent were helpful both before and after the augmentation step of phase \( p \), contradicting the fact that the blocking flow that was used for the augmentation saturated some edge of the chosen path. The theorem is now proved for the case where the path had all its vertices in \( Y(p) \). Now suppose that this was not the case. Let \( e' : v_k \to v_{k+1} \) be the first edge of the path whose terminal vertex \( v_{k+1} \) was not in \( Y(p) \). Then the corresponding edges of \( Y \) was unaffected by the augmentation in phase \( p \). It was helpful from \( v_{k} \) at the beginning of phase \( p + 1 \) because \( e' \in Y(p + 1) \) and was unaffected by phase \( p \), yet \( v_{k+1} \notin Y(p) \). The only possibility is that vertex \( v_{k+1} \) would have entered into \( Y \) in the layer \( H(p) \) that contains the sink, but that layer is special, and contains only. Hence, if \( v_a \) is layer of \( Y(p) \), then \( b + 1 = H(p) \). By the lemma once more, \( 2 \geq b + 1 \geq H(p) \), and therefore \( H(p + 1) > H(p) \), completing the proof of Theorem 3.6.1.

The result for the graph of Fig. 3.8.1 is shown in Fig. 3.8.2. Consider a maximum integer-valued flow in this network, of value \( Q \). Since each edge has capacity 1, \( Q \) edges of the type \( (p, q) \) can contain a unit of flow. Out of each vertex \( p \) that receives some of this flow, there will come one unit of flow (since inflow equals outflow at such vertices), which will then cross to a vertex \( j \) of \( J \). No such \( j \) will receive more than one unit because at most one unit can leave it for the sink \( t \). Hence the flow defines a matching of \( Q \) edges of the graph \( G \). Conversely, any matching in \( G \) defines a flow, hence a maximum flow corresponds to a maximum matching. In Fig. 3.8.3 we show a maximum flow in the network of Fig. 3.8.2 and therefore a maximum matching in the graph of Fig. 3.8.1. ![A maximum flow](path_to_image_3.png) **Fig. 3.8.3:** A maximum flow Image Analysis: ### Localization and Attribution: #### Image 1: - **Position:** Top of the page. - **Label:** Fig. 3.8.1: Matching people to jobs. #### Image 2: - **Position:** Middle of the page. - **Label:** Fig. 3.8.2: The network for the matching problem. #### Image 3: - **Position:** Bottom of the page. - **Label:** Fig. 3.8.3: A maximum flow. ### Object Detection and Classification: #### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1): - **Objects:** Nodes and directed edges forming a bipartite graph. - **Key Features:** - Two disjoint sets of nodes. - Edges connecting nodes from one set to nodes in the other set. #### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2): - **Objects:** Nodes, directed edges, and an additional network structure. - **Key Features:** - Similar to Image 1 but with an added network component including source and sink nodes. #### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3): - **Objects:** Nodes, directed edges, and a flow network. - **Key Features:** - More densely connected network. - Shows capacity and flow through edges. ### Scene and Activity Analysis: #### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1): - **Scene:** Bipartite graph representing the matching of individuals to jobs. - **Activities:** - Nodes represent people and jobs. - Edges represent potential matchings. #### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2): - **Scene:** Network flow diagram for the matching problem. - **Activities:** - Nodes represent individuals, jobs, and intermediary components. - Edges indicate flow paths. #### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3): - **Scene:** Network flow diagram showing a maximum flow scenario. - **Activities:** - Each edge shows the flow of units from one node to another. - Network demonstrates maximum possible flow from source to sink. ### Text Analysis: - **Text Detected:** - Chapter and section details at the top. - Descriptions below each figure (e.g., "Matching people to jobs"). - Paragraph text explains the theoretical basis and results observed in the figures, discussing capacity and maximum flow in network graphs. - **Significance:** - The text provides context and theoretical explanation of the concepts illustrated by the graphs, which include matching problems and network flows. ### Diagram and Chart Analysis: #### Image 1 (Fig. 3.8.1): - **Diagrams and Data:** Bipartite matching graph. - **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None. - **Key Insights:** Illustrates the concept of matching entities from two distinct sets. #### Image 2 (Fig. 3.8.2): - **Diagrams and Data:** Network structure for matching problem. - **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None. - **Key Insights:** Provides a more complex view incorporating network flow for the matching problem. #### Image 3 (Fig. 3.8.3): - **Diagrams and Data:** Maximum flow network diagram. - **Axes, Scales and Legends:** None. - **Key Insights:** Demonstrates the computation of maximum flow within a network graph. ### Color Analysis: - **Color Composition for all Images:** - Predominantly black and white, typical for schematic and instructional diagrams in technical documents. ### Perspective and Composition: #### Basic Features Shared by All Images: - **Perspective:** Straightforward 2D view with nodes and edges distinctly visible. - **Composition:** Symmetrically arranged diagrams focusing on clarity of nodes and edges to elucidate matching and flow concepts. ### Contextual Significance: - **Context within Document:** - Each figure exemplifies concepts crucial to understanding network flow problems and matching theory in a chapter dedicated to such topics. - Enhances comprehension by visually depicting theoretical explanations. ### Anomaly Detection: - **Possible Anomalies:** - No visible anomalies or unusual elements; all diagrams seem standard for educational purposes. ### Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations): - **Image Designations:** - Bipartite Graph (Fig. 3.8.1) - Network for Matching Problem (Fig. 3.8.2) - Maximum Flow Network (Fig. 3.8.3) ### Trend and Interpretation: - **Matching and Flow Trends:** - Progressive complexity from a simple bipartite graph to a network flow system depicting maximum flow. ### ProencryptedContent .de: größeriges Chancen: less Beschreibtion Format .encryption: Completed . #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 83 Context: # 3.6 Layered networks If we remove all the edges incident to a single vertex \( v \), we will disconnect the graph. Hence the edge connectivity cannot exceed the minimum degree of vertices in the graph. However, the edge connectivity could be a lot smaller than the minimum degree as the graph of Fig. 3.8.4 shows, in which the minimum is large, but the removal of just one edge will disconnect the graph. Fig. 3.8.4: Big degree, low connectivity Finding 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. Given \( G \), a graph of \( V \) vertices. We solve not just one, but \( V - 1 \) network flow problems, one for each vertex \( j = 2, \ldots, V \). Fix 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 \( Q(j) \) for \( j = 2, \ldots, V \) is the edge connectivity of \( G \). We will not prove this here. As 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, take 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 \( 1 \). Hence 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 \( j = 1, \ldots, n \). The reader will not doubt have noticed that for such a matrix to exist it must surely be true that \[ r_1 + \ldots + r_m = s_1 + \ldots + s_n \] since each side counts the total number of \( 1 \)s in the matrix. Hence we will suppose that \( (3.8.1) \) is true. Next, we will construct a network \( Y \) of \( m + n + 2 \) vertices named \( s, t, r_1, \ldots, r_m, s_1, \ldots, s_n \). Here \( s \) is an edge of capacity \( r_j \), drawn from the source \( s \) to vertex \( r_j \), for each \( j = 1, \ldots, m \), and an edge of capacity \( s_i \), drawn from vertex \( s_i \) to the sink \( t \), for each \( i = 1, \ldots, n \). Finally, there are \( mn \) edges of capacity \( 1 \) drawn from each edge to each vertex \( r_j \). Next 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 \( a_{ij} \), equal to \( 1 \) if the flow in the edge from \( r_j \) to \( s_i \) is \( 1 \), and \( 0 \) otherwise. --- * *Even, S. and R.

The Euclidean algorithm will find their greatest common divisor after a cost of at most \( \lfloor 2 \log_2 M \rfloor + 1 \) integer divisions, where \( M = \max(a, b) \). Before we prove the theorem, let's return to the example \( (a, b) = (13, 21) \) of the display (4.2.2). In that case \( M = 21 \) and \( 20 \log_2 M + 1 = 9.78 \). The theorem asserts that the g.c.d. will be found after about 9 operations. In fact, it was found after 7 operations in that case. ## Proof of Theorem Suppose first that \( a \geq b \). The algorithm generates a sequence \( a_0, a_1, \ldots \) where \( a_0 = a, a_1 = b \), and \[ a_{j+1} = a_j \mod a_{j-1} \quad (j \geq 1). \] By lemma 4.2.1, \[ a_{j+1} \leq \frac{a_j - 1}{2} \leq \frac{a_j}{2}. \] Then, by induction on \( j \), it follows that \[ a_{2j} \leq \frac{a_0}{2^j} \quad (j \geq 0). \] \[ a_{2j+1} \leq \frac{a_1}{2^j} \quad (j \geq 0). \] And so, \[ a_j \leq 2^{-\lceil j/2 \rceil} M \quad (r = 0, 1, 2, \ldots). \] Obviously, the algorithm has terminated if \( a_r < 1 \), and this will have happened when \( r \) is large enough so that \( 2^{-r/2} M < 1 \), i.e., if \( r > 2 \log_2 M \). If \( r < 1 \) then after 1 operation we will be in the case \( a_r < b \) that we have just discussed, and the proof is complete. The upper bound in the statement of theorem 4.2.1 can be visualized as follows. The number \( \log_2 M \) is almost exactly the number of bits in the binary representation of \( M \) (what is 'exactly' that number of bits?). Theorem 4.2.1 therefore asserts that we can find the g.c.d. of two integers in a number of operations that is at most a linear function of the number of bits that it takes to represent the two numbers. In brief, we might say that the time \( T = O(\text{bits}) \); in the case of Euclid's algorithm. ## Exercises for Section 4.2 1. Write a nonrecursive program, in Basic or Fortran, for the g.c.d. Write a recursive program, in Pascal or a recursive language of your choice, for the g.c.d. 2. Choose 1000 pairs of integers \( (m, n) \), at random between 1 and 1000. For each pair, compute the g.c.d. using a recursive program and a nonrecursive program. (a) Compare the execution times of the two programs. (b) There is a theorem to the effect that the probability that two random integers have g.c.d. = 1 is \( 6/\pi^2 \). What, precisely, do you think that this theorem means by 'the probability that two'? What percentage of the 1000 pairs that you chose had g.c.d. = 1? Compare your observed percentage with \( 100 - (6/\pi^2) \). 3. Find out when Euclid lived, and with exactly what words he described his algorithm. 4. Write a program that will light up a pixel in row \( r \) and column \( n \) of your CRT display if and only if \( \text{gcd}(m, n) = 1 \). Run the program with enough values of \( m \) and \( n \) to fill your screen. If you see any interesting visual patterns, try to explain them mathematically. 5. Show that if \( m \) and \( n \) have a total of \( b \) bits, then Euclid's algorithm will not need more than \( 2B + 3 \) operations before reaching termination.

But then \( x - x'\) ≡ 0 (mod each of the mi). Hence \( x - x'\) is divisible by \( M = m_1 m_2 \cdots m_r \). But \( | x' | ≤ M \), hence \( x = x' \). **Proof 2:** Here’s how to compute a number x that satisfies the simultaneous congruences \( x ≡ b_i \mod m_i (i = 1, r)\). First, by the extended Euclidean algorithm we can quickly find \( t_1, t_2, ..., t_r\) all \( x_i t_i mod m_i | by(i) = 1\) for j - 1 per t. For each \( x = b_1 + ... + I^(t_1, ..., t_n)\). we always have, \( x = \sum_{j=1}^r b_j (M/m_j)y_j (\mod M) \) where the first congruence holds because each \( M / m_j (j \neq k) \) is divisible by \( m_j \) and the second congruence follows since \( t_k (M/ m_k) + 1 = t_u, t_i \equiv m_i (\mod m_k)\) completing the second proof of the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

By a **pseudoprimality test** we mean a test that is applied to a pair \( (n, b) \) of integers, and that has the following characteristics: - **(a)** The possible outcomes of the test are ‘\( n \) is composite’ or ‘inconclusive.’ - **(b)** If the test reports ‘\( n \) is composite’ then \( n \) is composite. - **(c)** The test runs in a time that is polynomial in \( \log n \). If the test result is ‘inconclusive’ then we say that \( n \) is pseudoprime to the base \( b \) (which means that \( b \) is far acting like a prime number, as far as we can tell). The outcome of the test of the primality of \( n \) depends on the base \( b \) that is chosen. In a good pseudoprimality test there will be many bases \( b \) that will give the correct answer. More precisely, a good pseudoprimality test will, with high probability (i.e., for a large number of choices of the base \( b \)) declare that a composite \( n \) is composite. In more detail, we will say that a pseudoprimality test is ‘good’ if there is a fixed positive number \( t \) such that every composite integer \( n \) is declared to be composite for at least \( t \) choices of the base \( b \) in the interval \( [1, S] \). Of course, given an integer \( n \), it is silly to say that ‘there is a high probability that \( n \) is prime’ or it isn’t, and we should not blame our ignorance on its itself. Nonetheless, the abuse of language is sufficiently appealing that we will define the problem away: we will say that a given integer \( n \) is very probably prime if we have subjected it to a good pseudoprimality test, with a large number of different bases \( b \), and have found that it is pseudoprime to all of those bases. Here are four examples of pseudoprimality tests, only one of which is ‘good.’ #### Test 1 Given \( n \), Output \( n \) is composite if \( b \) divides \( n \), else ‘inconclusive.’ This isn’t the good one. If \( n \) is composite, the probability that it will be so declared is the probability that we happen to have found a \( b \) that divides \( n \), where \( b \) is not \( 1 \) or \( n \). The probability of this event, if \( b \) is chosen uniformly at random from \( [1, n] \) is \[ p_1 = \frac{d(n) - 2}{n} \] where \( d(n) \) is the number of divisors of \( n \). Certainly \( p_1 \) is not bounded from below by a positive constant \( t \) if \( n \) is composite. #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 97 Context: **Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations):** - Carmichael numbers: Specific composite numbers that behave like primes under certain tests are highlighted. ### Summary The document analyzed focuses on pseudoprimality tests used to determine if a number is composite or prime.

Let n =1 - 2^q, where m is an old integer. If either (a) b^m ≠ 1 (modn) or (b) there is an integer i in [0, q- 1] such that b^mi ≠ -1 (modn) then return ‘inconclusive’ else return ‘n is composite.’ First we validate the test by proving the Proposition. If the test returns the message ‘n is composite,’ then n is composite. Proof: Suppose not. Then n is an odd prime. We claim that b^m ≡ 1 (modn) for all i = q, q — 1,..,, 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, then it is true for i – 1 also, because (bm+1)2 == bm+2≡ 1 (mod n) implies that the quantity being squared is +1 or -1. Since n is an odd prime, by corollary 4.5.3 Un is cyclic, and so the equation z^2 = 1 in Un has only the solutions z = ±1. But -1 is ruled out by the outcome of the test, and the proof of the claim is complete. (q.e.d.) What is the computational complexity of the test? Consider first the computational problem of raising a number to a power. We can calculate, for example, bn mod n with O(log n) integer multiplications, by successive squaring. More precisely, we compute b, b^2, b^4, b^8,… 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 bp. For instance, b337 = b256 . b64 . b16 . b. 93 ``` - Significance: The extracted text details four pseudoprimality tests, explaining their effectiveness, limitations, examples, and mathematical proofs.

Output \( n \) is composite if \( \gcd(b, n) \neq 1 \), else output ‘inconclusive.’ This one is a little better, but not yet good. If it is composite, the number of bases \( b \leq k \) for which Test 2 will produce the result ‘composite’ is \( n - \phi(n) \), where \(\phi\) 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’s easy to find out that \( n \) is composite by other methods. If \( n \) has only a few large prime factors, say if \( n = p^k \), then the proportion of useful bases is very small, and we have the same kind of inefficiency as in Test 1 above. Now we can state the third pseudorandomity test. ## Test 3 Given \( n \). (If \( b \) and \( n \) are not relatively prime or) if \( n \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \) then output \( n \) is composite; else output ‘inconclusive.’ Regrettably, the test is still not ‘good,’ but it’s 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 \( (b, n) \) produces the output ‘inconclusive’ for every integer \( b \) that is relatively prime to \( n \). An example of such a number is \( n = 1729 \), which is composite (\( 1729 = 17 \cdot 101 \)), 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 \( 19 \)). Despite 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 \( 19, 22, 23, 70, 80, 89, 96, 147, 150, 168 \). Finally, we will describe a good pseudorandomity test. The familial resemblance to Test 3 will be apparent. ## Test 4 (the strong pseudorandomity test) Given \( (n, k) \). Let \( n = 1 \cdot 2^m \), where \( m \) is an odd integer. If either - (a) \( b^m \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \) or - (b) there is an integer \( i \in [0, q - 1] \) such that \( b^{n^2} \equiv -1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \) then return ‘inconclusive’; else return ‘is composite.’ First we validate the test by proving the Proposition. ### Proposition If the test returns the message \( n \) is composite, then \( n \) is composite. **Proof:** Suppose not. Then \( n \) is an odd prime. We claim that \[ b^{m^2} \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \] for all \( i = q, q - 1, \ldots, 0 \). 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 \( i \), then it is true for \( i - 1 \), because \[ (b^{m^{i-1}})^2 \equiv b^{m^2} \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \] implies 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 \( x^2 \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod}\, n) \) 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. What is the computational complexity of the test? Consider first the computational problem of raising a number to a power. We can calculate, for example, \( b^2, b^4, b^8, \ldots \), by squaring, and reducing modulus 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 \( b^n \). For instance, \[ b^{37} = b^{32} \cdot b^{4} \cdot b^{1}. \] Image Analysis: ## Image Analysis ### Image Localization and Attribution: - **Image 1**: The only image present on the page. ### Object Detection and Classification: - **Image 1**: - Objects Detected: - Multiple pieces of text. - Mathematical formulas and expressions. ### Scene and Activity Analysis: - **Image 1**: - Scene: Academic or scientific publication page, specifically focusing on pseudoprimality tests in number theory. - Activities: Detailed explanation of various pseudoprimality tests, including complete descriptions and examples. ### Text Analysis: - **Image 1**: - Text Extracted: ``` 4.6 Pseudoprimality tests Test 2. Given b, n. Output ‘n is composite’ if gcd(b, n) ≠ 1, else output ‘inconclusive.’ This one is a little better, but not yet good. If n is composite, the number of bases b ≤ n for which Test 2 will produce the result ‘composite’ is tn - 6(n)), where t() 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’s easy to find out that n is composite by other methods. if n has only a few large prime factors, say if n=ps, then the proportion of useful bases is very small, and we have the same kind of inefficiency as in Test 1 above. Now we can state the third pseudoprimality test. Test 3. Given b, n. (If b and n are not relatively prime or if bn - 7 ≠ 1 (mod n)) then output 'n is composite’; else output 'inconclusive.’ Regrettably, the test is still not ‘good,’ but it’s 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 (b, n) 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 = 7 · 13 · 19), 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). Despite 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’s in [1, 168] that produce the ‘composite’ outcome from Test 3, namely every such b except for 19, 22, 23, 70, 80, 89, 99, 146, 147, 150, 168.

First we validate the test by proving the **Proposition.** If the test returns the message `n is composite`, then \( n \) is composite. **Proof.** Suppose not. Then \( n \) is an odd prime. We claim that: \[ b^{m} \equiv 1 \text{ (mod } n) \] for 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 \[ (b^{2^{i-1}})^2 = b^{2^i} \equiv 1 \text{ (mod } n) \] implies that the quantity being squared is \( +1 \) or \( -1 \).

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 \( b^n \).

Output 'n is composite' if \(\gcd(n, b) \neq 1\), else output 'inconclusive'. This 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 \( n - \phi(n) \), where \(\phi\) 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’s easy to find out that \( n \) is composite by other methods.

Now we can state the third pseudoprimality test. ## Test 3 Given \( n \). (If \( b \) and \( n \) are not relatively prime or) if \( n \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod } n) \) then output 'n is composite'; else output 'inconclusive'. Regrettably, the test is still not 'good', but it's 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 \((b, n)\) produces the output 'inconclusive' for every integer \( b \neq 1 \) that is relatively prime to \( n \). An example of such a number is \( n = 1729 \), which is composite (1729 = 17 ⋅ 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 17 or 101).

First, we validate the test by proving the Proposition. If the test returns the message 'n is composite', then \( n \) is composite. ### Proof Suppose not. Then \( n \) is an odd prime. We claim that \[ b^{m} \equiv 1 \,(\text{mod } n) \] for all \( i = q, q - 1, \ldots, 0 \). 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.

Similarly, in part (b) of the test there are \(O(\log n)\) possible values of \(i\) to check, and for each of them we do a single multiplication of two integers each of which has \(O(\log n)\) bits (this argument, of course, applies to Test 3 above also). The entire test requires, therefore, some low power of \( \log n \) bit operations. For instance, if we were to use the most obvious way to multiply two \(B\) bit numbers we would do \(O(B^2)\) bit operations, and then the above test would take \(O((\log n)^3)\) time. This is a polynomial in the number of bits of input. In the next section we are going to prove that Test 1 is a good pseudoprimality test in that if \(n\) is composite then at least half of the integers \(1 \leq s \leq n-1\) will yield the result \(n\) is composite. For example, if \(n = 169\), then it turns out that for 157 of the possible 168 bases \(b \in [1, 168]\), Test 4 will prove \(169\) is composite. The only bases \(b\) that 169 can fool are 19, 22, 23, 70, 80, 89, 96, 146, 147, 150, 168. For this case of \(n = 169\) the performances of Test 4 and Test 3 are identical. However, there are no analogues of the Carmichael numbers for Test 4. ## Exercises for section 4.6 1. Given an odd integer \(n\). Let \(T(n)\) be the set of all \(b \in [1, n]\) such that \(\gcd(b, n) = 1\) and \(b^{n-1} \equiv 1 \, (\mod n)\). Show that \(|T(n)|\) divides \(\varphi(n)\). 2. Let \(B\) be a cyclic group of order \(n\). How many elements of each order \(r\) are there in \(B\) (if divides \(n\))? 3. If \(n = p^k\), where \(p\) is an odd prime, then the number of \(x \in U_n\) such that \(x\) has exact order \(r\) is \(\varphi(r)\) for all divisors \(r\) of \(\varphi(n)\). In particular, the number of primitive roots modulo \(n\) is \(\varphi(d(n))\). 4. If \(n = p_1^{k_1} \cdots p_s^{k_s}\) and if \(r\) divides \(\varphi(n)\), then the number of \(x \in U_n\) such that \(x^r \equiv 1 \, (\mod n)\) is: \[ \prod_{i=1}^{s} \gcd(\varphi(p_i^{k_i}), r). \] 5. In a group \(G\) suppose \(f_n\) and \(g_n\) are, respectively, the number of elements of order \(m\) and the number of solutions of the equation \(x^{m} = 1\), for each \(n = 1, 2, \dots\). What is the relationship between these two sequences? That is, how would you compute the \(g_n\) from the \(f_n\) from the \(g_k\)? If you have never seen a question of this kind, look in any book on the theory of numbers, find Möbius inversion, and apply it to this problem. ## 4.7 Proof of goodness of the strong pseudoprimality test In this section we will show that if \(n\) is composite, then at least half of the integers \(b \in [1, n - 1]\) will yield the result \(n\) is composite in the strong pseudoprimality test. The basic idea of the proof is that a subgroup of a group that is not the entire group can consist of at most half of the elements of that group. Suppose \(n\) has the factorization \[ n = p_1^{k_1} \cdots p_s^{k_s} \] and let \(n_i = p_i^{k_i} \, (i = 1, s). \] #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 99 Context: # 4.7 Goodness of pseudoprimality test ## Lemma 4.7.1 The order of each element of \( U_n \) is a divisor of \( e' = \text{lcm}(\varphi_i)_{i=1}^{s} \). **Proof:** From the product representation (4.5.3) of \( U_n \), we find that an element of \( U_n \) can be regarded as an \( s \)-tuple of elements from the cyclic groups \( U_{d_i} \) \( (i = 1, \ldots, s) \). The order of \( x \) is equal to the lcm of the orders of the elements of the \( s \)-tuple. For each \( i = 1, \ldots, s \), the order of the \( i \)-th of those elements is a divisor of \( \varphi_i \), and therefore the order of \( x \) divides the item shown above. ## Lemma 4.7.2 Let \( n > 1 \) be odd. For each element \( x \in U_n \) (where \( U(n) = \{1, u_1, \ldots, u_{s-1}\} \)), denote the cyclic group that it generates. Let \( B \) be the set of all elements of \( U_n \) for which \( C(u) \) either contains \(-1\) or odd order (i.e., \( \text{ord}(x) \) odd). If \( B \) generates the full group \( U_n \), then \( n \) is prime power. **Proof:** Let \( e^* = 2^m \), where \( m \) is odd and \( e^* \) as shown in lemma 4.7.1. Then there is a \( j \) such that \( \varphi(n) \) is divisible by \( 2^j \). Now if \( n \) is a prime power, we are finished. So we can suppose that \( r \) is divisible by more than one prime number. Since \( \varphi(n) \) is an even number for all \( r > 2 \) (proof?), the number \( e \) is even. Hence \( t > 0 \) and we can define a mapping \( \psi \) of the group \( U_r \) to itself by \[ \psi(x) = x^{2^m} \quad (x \in U_n) \] (note that \( \psi(x) \) is its own inverse). This is in fact a group homomorphism. For all \( y \in U_n \): \( \psi(y) = \psi(x)\psi(y). Let \( B \) be as in the statement of lemma 4.7.2. For each \( x \in B \), \( \psi(x) \) is in \( B \) and \[ \psi^2(x) = \psi(x). \] Since \( \psi(y) \) is an element of \( C(x) \) whose square is \( 1 \), \( \psi(y) \) has order 1 or 2. Hence if \( \psi(e) \neq 1 \), it is of order 2. If the cyclic group \( C(y) \) is of odd order and contains \(-1\), then it can contain no other element of order 2, so \( \psi(e) = -1 \) in this case. Hence for every \( x \in B \), \( \psi(x) = 1 \). Suppose \( B \) generates the full group \( U_n \). Then not only for every \( x \in B \) but for every \( z \in U_n \) it must be that \( \psi(z) = 1 \). Suppose \( n \) is not a prime power. Then \( s > 1 \) in the factorization (4.5.2) of \( U_n \). Consider the element \( v \) in \( U_n \), which, when written out as an \( s \)-tuple according to that factorization, is of the form \[ v = (1, 1, \ldots, 1, y, 1, \ldots, 1) \] where the \( y \) is in the \( j \)-th component, \( y \in U_n \) (recall that \( s \) is described above, in the second sentence of this proof). We can suppose \( y \) to be an element of order exactly \( 2 \) in \( U_n \), since \( U_n \) is cyclic. Consider \( \psi(y) \). Clearly \( \psi(y) \) is not \( 1 \) or otherwise the order of \( y \), namely \( 2 \), would divide \( 2^{m-1} \), which is impossible because \( m \) is odd. Also, \( \psi(y) \) is not \(-1\), because the element \(-1\) of \( U_n \) is represented uniquely by the \( s \)-tuple all of whose entries are \( -1 \). Thus \( y \) is neither \( 1 \) nor \(-1\), which contradicts the italicized assertion above. Hence \( s = 1 \) and \( n \) is a prime power, completing the proof. We can now prove the main result of Solomon, Strassen and Rabin, which asserts that Test 4 is good. ## Theorem 4.7.1 Let \( B' \) be the set of integers \( m \) such that \( \gcd(m, n) \) returns 'inconclusive' in Test 4. (a) If \( B' \) generates \( U_n \), then \( n \) is prime. (b) If \( B' \) consists of at most half of the integers in \( [1, n-1] \). **Proof:** Suppose \( B' \) and let \( m \) be the odd part of \( n - 1 \). Then either \( m \equiv 1 \mod 2 \) or \( m \equiv -1 \mod 2 \) for some \( i \in [1, n-1] \). In the former case the cyclic subgroup \( C(y) \) has odd order, since \( m \) is odd, and in the latter case \( C(y) \) contains \(-1\).

The order of each element of Unis a divisor of e' = lem{φ(si)}, i = 1, s}. Proof: From the product representation (4.5.3) of Un we find that an element x of Un can be regarded as an s-tuple of elements from the cyclic groups Ui (i= 1, s). The order of x is equal to the lemt of the orders of the elements of the s-tuple. But for each i= 1,. Let be the order of the ith of those elements is a divisor of φ(si)}, and therefore the order of x divides the lem shown above. Lemma 4.7.2. Let n > 1 ed odd. For each element U,, let C(Un)= {1, w, wa2, ...,ws-1) denote the cyclic group that it generates. Let B be the set of all elements x of Un for which C(Un) either contains –1 or has odd order (ie odd). If B generates the full group Un then n is a prime power. Proof: Let e' = 2l'm, where m is odd and e is as shown in lemma 4.7.1. Then there is a j such that φ(n1) is divisible by2l'. Now if n is a prime power, we are finished. So we can suppose that x is divisible by more than one prime number. Since φ(n1) is an even number for all n > 2 (proof?), the number e' is even. Hence t > 0 and we can define a mapping φ½ of the group Un to itself by φ(z) = zxl'÷m. (note that φ(z) is its own inverse).

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

Note that the sender has no private codebook or anything secret other than the message itself. ## (C) How to decode a message The receiver receives \( C \) and computes \( C^D \mod n \). Observe, however, that \( (p-1)(q-1) \) is \( \phi(n) \), and so we have: \[ C^D \equiv P^{DE} \equiv P^{(1+k\phi(n))} \quad (t \text{ is some integer}) \] \[ \equiv P \quad (\text{mod } n) \] where the last equality is by Fermat’s theorem (4.5.1). The receiver has now recovered the original message \( P \). If 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. Before 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. ## (D) How to intercept the message An 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! The 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.

Now let’s look at the complexity of algorithm \( A \). We will measure its complexity by the number of times that we have to do a computation of either of the types \( (a) \ i = \prod_{j} p_j^{a_j} \) or \( (b) \ \text{is} \ s^g \equiv 1 \ (\text{mod} \ p) \). Let \( f(p) \) be that number. Then we have (remembering that the algorithm calls itself \( t \) times) \[ f(p) = 1 + \sum_{t=2}^{r} f(p_t) + r + 1 \tag{4.10.1} \] in which the four terms, as written, correspond to the four steps in the checking algorithm. The sum begins with \( i = 2 \) because the prime \( 2 \), which is always a divisor of \( p - 1 \), is ‘free.’ Now (4.10.1) can be written as \[ g(p) = 1 + f(p) \tag{4.10.2} \] where \( g(p) = 1 + f(p) \). We claim that \( g(p) \leq 4 \log_2 p \) for all \( p \). This is surely true if \( p = 2 \). If true for primes less than \( p \) then from (4.10.2), \[ g(p) \leq \sum_{i=2}^{r} 4 \log_2 p_i + 4 \] \[ = 4 \log_2 \left( \prod_{i=2}^{r} p_i \right) + 4 \] \[ \leq 4 \log_2 \left( \frac{(p-1)}{2} \right) + 4 \] \[ = 4 \log_2 (p - 1) \leq 4 \log_2 p. \] Hence \( f(p) \leq 4 \log_2 p - 1 \) for all \( p \geq 2 \). Since the number of bits in \( p \) is \( \Theta(\log p) \), the number \( f(p) \) is a number of executions of steps that is a polynomial in the length of the input bit string. We leave to the exercises the verification that the steps that \( f(p) \) counts is also executed in polynomial time, so the entire primality-verification procedure operates in polynomial time. This yields **Theorem 4.10.1.** (V. Pratt, 1975) There exists a checking algorithm and a certificate such that primality can be verified in polynomial time. ## Exercises for section 4.10 1.

Then we have (remembering that the algorithm calls itself t times) f(p) = 1 + ∑ {f(p_j) + r + 1} (4.10.1) j = 2 in which the four terms, as written, correspond to the four steps in the checking algorithm.

Each square can contain a single character from the character set that the machine recognizes. For simplicity, we can assume that the character set consists of just three symbols: '0', '1', and ' ' (blank). - 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. - 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: - \( q_0 \): the initial state - \( q_y \): the final state in a problem to which the answer is ‘Yes’ - \( q_n \): the final state in a problem to which the answer is ‘No’ - 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. ``` ... ... --- --- --- -2 ─→ 0 1 2 3 ... ... ``` Fig. 5.2.1: A Turing machine tape Image Analysis: ### Localization and Attribution: - **Image 1**: The page consists of one primary image—a diagram located centrally within the text, designated as Image 1. ### Object Detection and Classification: - **Image 1**: - **Objects Detected**: The image contains multiple squares arranged in a sequential manner, each square containing symbols or being blank.

(5.21) ``` If and when the state reaches ϕ or ψ the computation is over and the machine halts. The machine should be thought of as part hardware and part software. The programmer's job is, as usual, to write the software. To write a program for a Turing machine, what we have to do is to tell it how to make each and every one of the transitions (5.21). A Turing machine program looks like a table, in which, for every possible pair (state, symbol) that the machine might find itself in, the programmer has specified what the newstate, the newsymbol and the increment shall be. To begin a computation with a Turing machine we take the input string x of length B, say, that describes the problem that we want to solve, and we write x in squares 1, 2, ..., B of the tape. The tape head is then positioned over square 1, the machine is put into state ϕ, the program module that the programmer prepared is plugged into its slot, and the computation begins. The machine reads the symbol in square 1. It now is in state ϕ and has read symbol s, so it can consult the program module to find out what to do. The program instructs it to write at square 1 a newsymbol, to move the head either to square 0 or to square 2, and to enter a certain newstate, say α. The whole process is then repeated, possibly forever, but hopefully after finitely many steps the machine will enter the state ϕ or state ψ, at which moment the computation will halt with the decision having been made. If we want to watch a Turing machine in operation, we don’t have to build it. We can simulate one. Here is a pidgin-Pascal simulation of a Turing machine that can easily be turned into a functioning program. It is in two principal parts. The procedure `turnback` has for input a string x of length B, and for output it sets the Boolean variable accept to True or False, depending on whether the outcome of the computation is that the machine halted in state ϕ or ψ respectively. This procedure is the “hardware” part of the Turing machine. It doesn’t vary from one job to the next. ## Procedure `getnext` The procedure `getnext` is the program module of the machine, and it will be different for each task. Its inputs are the present state of the machine and the symbol that was just read from the tape. Its outputs are the newstate into which the machine goes next, the newsymbol that the tape head now writes on the current square, and the increment (±1) by which the tape head will now move. ```pascal procedure turnback(B: integer; x: array[1:B]: accept: Boolean); {simulates Turing machine action on input string x of length B} {write input string on tape in first B squares} for square := 1 to B do tape[square] := x[square]; {record boundaries of written-on part of tape} leftmost := 1; rightmost := B; {initialize tape head and state} state := 0; square := 1; while state ≠ 'Y' and state ≠ 'N' do read symbol at current tape square; if square ≤ leftmost or square ≥ rightmost then symbol := '∅' else symbol := tape[square]; {ask program module for state transition} getnext(state, symbol, newstate, newsymbol, increment); state := newstate; {update boundaries and write new symbol}; if square ≤ rightmost then leftmost := square; tape[square] := newsymbol; {move tape head} square := square + increment; end; while (state ≠ 'Y') accept := (state = 'Y'); end; ``` #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 115 Context: Now let's try to write a particular program module **gonzetto**. Consider the following problem: given an input string \( x \), consisting of 0's and 1's, of length \( B \). Find out if it is true that the string contains an odd number of 1's. We will write a program that will scan the input string from left to right, and at each moment the machine will be in state 0 if it has so far scanned an even number of 1's, in state 1 otherwise. In Fig. 5.2.2 we show a program that will get the job done. | state | symbol | newstate | newsymbol | increment | |-------|--------|----------|-----------|-----------| | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +1 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +1 | | 0 | blank | \( q_v \) | blank | -1 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | +1 | | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | +1 | | 1 | blank | \( q_v \) | blank | -1 | **Fig. 5.2.2**: A Turing machine program for bit parity **Exercise**: Program the above as procedure **gonzetto**, run it for some input string, and print out the state of the machine, the contents of the tape, and the position of the tape head after each step of the computation. In the next section we are going to use the Turing machine concept to prove Cook's theorem, which is the assertion that a certain problem is NP-complete. Right now let's review some of the ideas that have already been introduced from the point of view of Turing machines. We might immediately notice that some terms were just a little bit fuzzy before are now much more sharply in focus. Take the notion of polynomial time, for example. To make that idea precise one needs a careful definition of what 'the length of the input bit string' means, and what one means by the number of 'steps' in a computation. But on a Turing machine both of these ideas come through with crystal clarity. The input bit string \( x \) is what we write on the tape to get things started, and its length is the number of tape squares it occupies. A 'step' in a Turing machine calculation is obviously a single call to the program module. A Turing machine calculation was done in time \( P(B) \) if the input string occupied \( B \) tape squares and the calculation took \( P(B) \) steps. Another word that we have been using without even precisely defining is 'algorithm.' We all understand informally what an algorithm is. But now we understand formally how. An algorithm for a problem is a program module for a Turing machine that will cause the machine to halt after finitely many steps in state 'Y' for every instance whose answer is 'Yes', and after finitely many steps in state 'N' for every instance whose answer is 'No.' Now let's see how the idea of a Turing machine can clarify the description of the class NP. This is the class of problems for which the decisions can be made quickly if the input strings are accompanied by suitable certificates. By a certificate we mean a finite string of Turing machine tape, consisting of 0 or more squares, each of which contains a symbol from the character set of the machine. A certificate can be loaded into a Turing machine as follows. If the certificate contains \( m > 0 \) tape squares, then replace the segment from square number \( -m \) to square number \( -1 \) of the tape. We then write a verifying program for the program module in which the program verifies that the string \( x \) is indeed a word in the language of the machine, and in the course of the verification the program is quite free to examine the certificate as well as the problem instance. A Turing machine that is being used as a verifying computer is called a **nondeterministic machine**. The hardware is the same, but the manner of input and the question that is being asked are different from the #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 116 Context: # Chapter 5: NP-completeness The class NP (Nondeterministic Polynomial) consists of these decision problems for which there exists a fast (polynomial time) algorithm that will verify, given a problem instance string \( s \) and a suitable certificate \( C(s) \), that \( s \) belongs to the language recognized by the machine, and for which, if \( s \) does not belong to the language, no certificate would cause an accepting computation to ensue. ## 5.3 Cook's Theorem The NP-complete problems are the hardest problems in NP, in the sense that if \( Q' \) is any decision problem in NP and \( Q \) is NP-complete problem, then every instance of \( Q' \) is polynomially reducible to an instance of \( Q \). 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. ### Here is the satisfiability problem, the first problem that was proved to be NP-complete, by Stephen Cook in 1971. We 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. A clause is a set of literals. The 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 \( l \) has the same truth or falsity as the corresponding variable \( x_i \), and a literal \( \neg x_i \) has the opposite truth value from that of the variable \( x_i \). Finally each of the clauses also inherits a truth value from this process, and it is determined as follows. A clause has the value ‘True’ if and only if at least one of the literals in that clause has the value ‘T’; and otherwise it has the value ‘F’. Hence 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. #### Definition A set of clauses is satisfiable if there exists an assignment of truth values to the variables that makes all the clauses true. Think of the word ‘or’ as being between each of the literals in a clause, and the word ‘and’ as being between the clauses. ### The satisfiability problem (SAT). Given 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)? **Example:** Consider the set \( x_1, x_2, x_3 \) of variables. From these we might manufacture the following list of four clauses: - \( \{x_1, x_2\} \) - \( \{x_1, \neg x_3\} \) - \( \{x_2, x_3\} \) - \( \{\neg x_1, x_3\} \) If we choose the truth values (T, T, F) for the variables, respectively, then the four clauses would assign the truth values (T, T, F), and so this would not be a satisfying truth assignment for the set of clauses. There are only eight possible ways to assign truth values to three variables, and after a little more experimentation we might find out that these clauses would in fact be satisfied if we were to make the assignments (T, T, T) (how can we recognize a set of clauses that is satisfied by assigning to every variable the value ‘T’?) The 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. It 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.

For each step \( i \) of the computation: \[ \{Q_{1}, Q_{2}, \ldots, Q_{k}\} \] Since I assume \( O(P(n)) \) values, these are \( O(P(n)) \) clauses. ## At each step, the machine is not in more than one state Therefore, for each step \( i \), and each pair \( j, j' \) of distinct states, the clause \[ \{Q_{i}, Q_{j}\} \] must be true. These are \( O(P(n)) \) additional clauses to add to the list, but still more are needed. ## At each step, each tape square contains exactly one symbol from the alphabet of the machine. This leads to two lists of clauses which require, first, that there is at least one symbol in each square at each step, and second, that there are not two symbols in each square at each step. The clauses that do this are \[ \{S_{1}, S_{2}, \ldots, S_{A}\} \] where \( A \) is the number of letters in the machine's alphabet, and \[ \{S_{i,j}, S_{j,k}\} \] for each step \( i \), square \( j \), and pair \( k', k' \) of distinct symbols in the alphabet of the machine. The reader will by now have gotten the idea of how to construct the clauses, so for the next three categories we will simply list the functions that must be performed by the corresponding lists of clauses, and leave the construction of the clauses as an exercise. ## At each step, the tape head is positioned over a single square. Initially the machine is in state 0, the head is over square 1, the input string \( z \) is in squares 1 to n, and \( C(z) \) (the input certificate of \( z \)) is in squares 0, -1, \( \ldots \), -P(n). ## At step P(n) the machine is in state qγ. The last set of restrictions is a little trickier: At each step the machine moves to its next configuration (state, symbol, head position) in accordance with the application of its program module to its previous (state, symbol). To find the clauses that will do this job, consider first the following condition: the symbol in square j of the tape cannot change during step \( i \) of the computation if the tape head isn't positioned there at that moment. This translates into the collection \[ \{T_{j}, S_{j}, S_{i,j,k}\} \] of clauses, one for each triple \( (i, j, k) = (state, square, symbol) \). These clauses express the condition in the following way: either (at time \( t \)) the tape head is positioned over square \( j \) (i.e., is true) or else the head is not positioned there, in which case either symbol \( k \) is not in the \( j \)-th square before the step or symbol \( k \) is still in the \( j \)-th square after the step is executed. It remains to express the fact that the transitions from one configuration of the machine to the next are the direct results of the operation of the program module. The three sets of clauses that do this are \[ \{F_{i}, Q_{k}, S_{j,i,t+1} \land N\} \] \[ \{T_{j}, Q_{k}, S_{j,i,t+1} \land C_{i} \} \] \[ \{T_{j}, Q_{k}, S_{j,i,S_{1}} \land S_{j,i,t}\} \] #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 121 Context: # 5.4 Some other NP-complete problems To prove the claim, first suppose that \((5.4.1)\) is satisfied by some assignment \(x^*\). Then one, at least, of the \(k\) literals \(z_1, \ldots, z_k\) say \(z_r\) has the value \(\text{True}\). Then we can satisfy all \(k - 2\) of the transformed clauses \((5.4.2)\) by assigning \(z_r = \text{True}\) for \(s < r - 2\) and \(z_r = \text{False}\) for \(s > r - 2\). It is easy to check that each one of the \(k - 2\) new clauses is satisfied. Conversely, suppose that all of the new clauses are satisfied by some assignment of the truth values of the \(x\)s and the \(z\)s. We will show that at least one of the \(x\)s must be \(\text{True}\); so that the original clause will be satisfied. Suppose, to the contrary, that all of the \(x\)s are false. Since, in the new clauses none of the \(x\)s are negated, the fact that the new clauses are satisfied tells us that they would remain satisfied without any of the \(x\)s. Hence the clauses \[ \{x_1\}, \{x_2\}, \{x_3\}, \ldots, \{x_{k-4},x_{k-3}\} \] are satisfied by the values of the \(x\)s. If we scan the list from left to right we discover, in turn, that \(x_1\) is true, \(x_2\) is true, and finally, much to our surprise, that \(x_{k-3}\) is true, and \(x_k\) is also false, a contradiction which establishes the truth of the claim made above. The observation that the transformations just discussed can be carried out in polynomial time completes the proof of theorem \(5.4.1\). We remark, in passing, that the problem \(2\text{SAT}\) is in P. Our collection of NP-complete problems is growing. Now we have two, and that is only the beginning. We will show next how to reduce \(3\text{SAT}\) to a graph coloring problem, thereby proving: ## Theorem 5.4.2. The graph vertex coloring problem is NP-complete. **Proof:** Given an instance of \(3\text{SAT}\), that is to say, given a collection of \(C_i\) clauses, involving \(n\) variables and having at most three literals per clause, we will construct, in polynomial time, a graph \(G\) with the property that its vertices can be properly colored in \(k + 1\) colors if and only if the given clauses are satisfiable. We will assume that \(n > 4\), the contrary case being trivial. The graph \(G\) will have \(3 + k\) vertices: \[ \{x_1, \ldots, x_n\}, \{y_1, \ldots, y_n\}, \{C_1, \ldots, C_k\} \] Now we will describe the set of edges of \(G\). First each vertex \(x_i\) is joined to \(C_j\) if \(x_i\) is one of the literals in \(C_j\). May we interrupt the proceedings to say again why we’re doing all of this? You have just read the description of a certain graph \(G\). The graph is one that can be drawn as soon as someone hands us a \(3\text{SAT}\) problem. We described the graph by listing its vertices and then listing its edges. What does the graph do for us? We suppose that we have just bought a computer program that can decide if graphs are colorable in a given number of colors. We paid $4.95 for it, and we’d like to use it. But the first problem that needs solving happens to be a \(3\text{SAT}\) problem, not a graph coloring problem. We aren’t so easily discouraged, though. We convert the \(3\text{SAT}\) problem into a graph that is \(k + 1\)-colorable if and only if the original \(3\text{SAT}\) problem was satisfiable. Now we can get our money’s worth by running the graph coloring program even though what we really wanted to do was solve a \(3\text{SAT}\) problem. Image Analysis: ### 1.

A great deal of research has gone into the study of how many edges a graph has to have before almost surely 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? To say that graphs have a property ‘almost certainly’ 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. For 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 \( \omega(\log n) \) edges is almost certainly connected, and almost certainly has a Hamilton path. We 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. ## Theorem 5.5.1 Fix 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 \( u, v \) in \( G \), then the probability that algorithm UHC returns `success` before making a total of \( M \log n \) attempts to extend partially constructed paths is \( 1 - O(n^{-\epsilon}) \). ## 5.6 Backtracking (I): Independent Sets In 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. The method is called **backtracking**, and it has 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. We first illustrate the backtrack method in the context of a search for the largest independent set of vertices (a set of vertices no 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 to describe in this case. Hence 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. ### Fig. 5.6.1: Find the largest independent set Begin 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 \( \{1, 3\} \). Now 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. The set \( S \) is \( \{1, 6\} \). Again we have a dead end. If 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.

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 \( S_1, S_2 \) 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 \( S_1 \). On 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 \( G \). The 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. ## Fig. 5.6.2: The Backtrack Search Tree The backtrack algorithm amounts just to visiting every vertex of the search tree \( T \), without actually having to write down the tree explicitly in advance. Observe 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. The question of the complexity of backtrack search is therefore the same as the question of determining the number of independent sets of the graph \( G \). Some 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. The 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. Any other graph \( G \) of \( n \) vertices will have a number of independent sets that lies between these two extremes of \( 2^n \) and \( 2^{n-1} \). 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? What 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 independent. If \( S \) has \( k \) vertices, then the probability that \( S \) is independent is the probability that, among the \( k(k - 1)/2 \) possible edges that might join a pair of vertices in \( S \), exactly zero of these edges actually lie 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 \[ I_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} 2^{-k(k-1)/2}. \tag{5.6.1} \] Image Analysis: ### Comprehensive Examination #### 1.

Then the sum of their squares is at least \( \frac{L^2}{K} \). **Proof:** We have \[ 0 \leq \sum_{i=1}^{K} \left(s_i - \frac{L}{K}\right)^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{K} s_i^2 - 2 \frac{L}{K} \sum_{i=1}^{K} s_i + K \left(\frac{L}{K}\right)^2 \] \[ = \sum_{i=1}^{K} s_i^2 - \frac{L^2}{K} + \frac{L^2}{K} = \sum_{i=1}^{K} s_i^2 - \frac{L^2}{K} \geq 0. \] ## Lemma 5.7.2 The next lemma deals with a kind of inside-out chromatic polynomial question. Instead of asking "How many proper colorings can a given graph have?", we ask: "How many graphs can have a given proper coloring?" Let \( C \) be one of the \( K^L \) possible ways to color in \( K \) colors a set of \( L \) abstract vertices \( 1, 2, \ldots, L \). Then the number of graphs \( G \) whose vertex set is that set of \( L \) colored vertices and for which \( C \) is a proper coloring of \( G \) is at most \( 2^{L(L-1)/K} \). **Proof:** In the coloring \( C \), suppose \( x_1, \ldots, x_K \) get color \( K \), where, of course, \( x_1 + \ldots + x_K = L \). 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 \[ x_1 x_2 + x_1 x_3 + \ldots + x_K x_{K-1} + \ldots + x_2 x_K \] for which we have the following estimate: \[ \sum_{1 \leq j < k \leq K} s_j s_k \leq \frac{1}{2} \sum_{j=1}^{K} s_j^2 \] \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left( \sum_{j=1}^{K} s_j \right)^2 - \frac{1}{2} \sum_{j=1}^{K} s_j^2 \] \[ \leq \frac{L^2}{2} - \frac{L^2}{2K} \quad \text{(by Lemma 5.7.1)} \] The number of possible graphs \( G \) is therefore at most \( 2^{L(L-1)/K}. \) ## Lemma 5.7.3 The total number of proper colorings in \( K \) colors of all graphs of \( L \) vertices is at most \[ K^L 2^{(L-1)(1 - 1/K)}. \] **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 \( 2^{(L-1)(1 - 1/K)} \). Since there are \( K^L \) such \( C \), the proof is finished. Now 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 1 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 vertex with the lowest available color number that does not cause a conflict with some vertex that has previously been colored.

In the graph of Fig. 5.7.1 if we try to 2-color the vertices we can color vertex 1 in color 1, vertex 2 in color 2, vertex 3 in color 1 and then we'd be stuck because neither color would work on vertex 4. ![Fig. 5.7.1: Color this graph](path/to/image1) When a dead end is reached, back up to the most recently colored vertex for which other color choices are available, replace its color with the next available choice, and try again to push forward to the next vertex. The (futile) attempt to color the graph in Fig. 5.7.1 with 2 colors by the backtrack method can be portrayed by the backtrack search tree in Fig. 5.7.2. The search is thought of as beginning at 'Root'. The label at each node of the tree describes the colors of the vertices that have so far been colored. Thus '212' means that vertices 1, 2, 3 have been colored, respectively, in colors 2, 1, 2. ![Fig. 5.7.2: A frustrated search tree](path/to/image2) ![Fig. 5.7.3: A happy search tree](path/to/image3) Image Analysis: ### Detailed Analysis #### 1. **Localization and Attribution:** - **Image 1:** Positioned at the top of the page. - **Image 2:** Positioned in the middle of the page. - **Image 3:** Positioned at the bottom of the page. #### 2. **Object Detection and Classification:** - **Image 1:** - **Objects:** Vertices (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and edges forming a graph. - **Category:** Graph/Diagram. - **Key Features:** Simple undirected graph with five vertices connected by edges.

In these algorithms we don’t find the exact solution of the problem, only an approximate one. As consolation we have an algorithm that runs in polynomial time as well as a performance guarantee to the effect that while the answer is approximate, it can certainly deviate by no more than such-and-such from the exact answer. An elegant example of such a situation is the Travelling Salesman Problem, which we will now express as an optimization problem rather than as a decision problem. We are given \( n \) points (`cities`) in the plane, as well as the distances between every pair of them, and we are asked to find a round-trip tour of all of these cities that has minimum length. We will assume throughout the following discussion that the distances satisfy the triangle inequality. This restriction of the TSP is often called the `Euclidean Travelling Salesman Problem`. The algorithm that we will discuss for this problem has the properties: 1. It runs in polynomial time and 2. The round-trip tour that it finds will never be more than twice as long as the shortest possible tour. The first step in carrying out the algorithm is to find a minimum spanning tree (MST) for the given cities. A MST is a tree whose nodes are the cities in question, and which, among all possible trees, has the vertex set, its minimum possible length. It may seem that finding a MST is just as hard as solving the TSP, but `NIN` (No, It’s Not!). The MST problem is one of those all-too-rare computational situations in which it pays to be greedy. Generally speaking, in a greedy algorithm: 1. We are trying to construct some optimal structure by adding one piece at a time, and 2. At each step we make the decision about which piece will be added next by choosing, among all available pieces, the single one that will carry us as far as possible in the desirable direction (be greedy!). ### Procedure ```plaintext procedure mst(x: array of n points in the plane); { constructs a spanning tree T of minimum length on the vertices {x1, x2, ..., xn} in the plane } T ← consist of a single vertex x1; while |T| has fewer than n vertices do for each vertex v that is not yet in T, find the distance d(v) from v to the nearest vertex of T; let w be a vertex of smallest d(v); add w to the vertex set of T; add edge to the edge from v to the nearest vertex w of T; end while; end(mst) ``` ### Proof of correctness of mst Let \( T \) be the tree that is produced by running `mst`, and let \( e_1, ..., e_n-1 \) be its edges, listed in the same order in which the algorithm produced them. Let \( T' \) be a minimum spanning tree for \( x \). Let \( e_1 \) be the first edge of \( T' \) that does not appear in \( T \). In the minimum tree \( T' \), edges \( e_1, ..., e_n-1 \) all appear, and let \( S \) be the union of their vertex sets. In \( T' \), let \( f \) be the edge that joins the subtree on \( S \) to the subtree on the remaining vertices of \( x \). Suppose \( f \) is shorter than \( e_r \). Then \( f \) was one of the edges that was available to the algorithm and that it chose \( e_r \), and since \( e_r \) was the shortest edge available at that moment, we have a contradiction. #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 133 Context: ```markdown # 5.7 Backtracking (II): Graph Coloring Suppose \( f \) is longer than \( \epsilon \). 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 \( T' \). Hence \( f \) 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. The 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. That 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. The 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. Now we have the ingredients for a quick near-optimal travelling salesman tour. **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. Here is the algorithm. Given \( n \) cities in the plane: 1. Find a minimum spanning tree \( T \) for the cities. 2. Double each edge of the tree, thereby obtaining a ‘multitree’ \( T' \) in which each pair of vertices there are \( 0 \) or \( 2 \) edges. 3. 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. 4. 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." The 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. Let \( Z \) 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 \( T \). Next 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 \( T \). If we put all of this together we find that \[ \text{length}(Z) \leq \text{length}(Z - e) \leq \text{length}(T) = \frac{1}{2} \text{length}(W) \leq \frac{1}{2} \text{length}(Z') \] as claimed. More 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’s algorithm for maximum matching in a general graph (see the reference at the end of Chapter 3). It will be interesting to see if the factor \( 3/2 \) can be further refined. Polynomial 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.

I shall not concern myself with questions of foundations and shall presuppose familiarity only with the most elementary concepts of arithmetic, i.e., elementary divisibility properties, e.g., (greatest common divisor), l.c.m. (least common multiple), essentially unique factorization into primes and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: if \( p \mid ab \) then \( p \mid a \) or \( p \mid b \). I shall consider a number of rather distinct topics each of which could easily be the subject of 15 lectures. Hence, I shall not be able to penetrate deeply in any direction. On the other hand, it is well known that in number theory, more than in any other branch of mathematics, it is easy to reach the frontiers of knowledge. It is easy to propound problems in number theory that are unsolved. I shall mention many of these problems; but the trouble with the natural problems of number theory is that they are either too easy or much too difficult. I shall therefore try to expose some problems that are of interest and unsolved but for which there is at least a reasonable hope for a solution by you or me. The topics I hope to touch on are outlined in the Table of Contents, as are some of the main reference books. Most of the material I want to cover will consist of old theorems proved in old ways, but I also hope to produce some old theorems proved in new ways and some new theorems proved in old ways. Unfortunately I cannot produce many new theorems proved in really new ways. #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 7 Context: # Chapter 1: Compositions and Partitions The partitions - **are conjugate to each other.** This correspondence yields immediately the following theorems: 1. The number of partitions of \( n \) into \( r \) parts is equal to the number of partitions of \( n \) into the largest of such \( m \). 2. The remainder of partitions of \( n \) into not more than \( m \) parts is equal to the number of partitions of \( n \) into parts not exceeding \( m \). Of a somewhat different nature is the following: The number of partitions of \( n \) into \( r \) parts is equal to the number of partitions of \( n \) into distinct parts. For this we give an algebraic proof. Using rather obtuse generating functions for the required partitions the result comes down to showing that \[ \frac{1}{(1 - x)(1 - x^2)(1 - x^3) \cdots} = (1 + x)(1 + x^2)(1 + x^3) \cdots. \] Cross multiplying makes the result intuitive. We now proceed to a more important theorem due to Euler: \[ (1 - x)(1 - x^2)(1 - x^3) \cdots = 1 - x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - \cdots, \] where the exponents are the numbers of the form \(\frac{(3k \pm 1)}{2}\). We first note that \[ (1 - x)(1 - x^2)(1 - x^3) \cdots = \sum E(n)O(n), \] where \( E(n) \) is the number of partitions of \( n \) into an even number of distinct parts and \( O(n) \) the number of partitions of \( n \) into an odd number of distinct parts. We try to establish a one-to-one correspondence between partitions of the two sorts considered. Such a correspondence naturally exists, as an exact correspondence would prove that \( E(n) = O(n) \). We take a graph representing a partition of \( n \) into any number of unequal parts. We call the lowest line \( A \) the base of the graph. From \( C \), the extreme northeast node, we draw the longest southwest line possible from the node; this may contain only one node. This line \( CDE \) is called the wing of the graph. In these cases \( n \) has the form \[ k + (k + 1) + \dots + (2k - 1) = \frac{1}{2}(3k - k) \] and \[ (k + 1) + (k + 2) + \dots + (2k) = \frac{1}{2}(3k + k). \] In both these cases there is an excess of one partition into an even number of parts, or one into an odd number, according as \( k \) is even or odd. Hence \( E(n) - O(n) = 0 \), unless \( n = \frac{3k \pm 1}{2} \), when \( E(n) - O(n) = (-1)^{k} \). This gives Euler's theorem. Now, from \[ \sum p(n) x^n = 1 - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 \cdots = 1, \] we obtain a recurrence relation for \( p(n) \), namely \[ p(n) = p(n - 1) + p(n - 2) - p(n - 5) - p(n - 7) + p(n - 12) + \cdots. \] #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 16 Context: ``` # Chapter 3: Distribution of Primes where \( s_p(n) \) represents the sum of the digits of \( n \) expressed in base \( p \). This is base \( 3 \) can be written 1010 so that \( s_3(10) = 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 2 = \frac{10}{3} - 2 \). We leave the proof of the general case as an exercise. We next consider the composition of \( \binom{n}{k} \) as a product of primes. Let \( E_p(n) \) denote the exponent of \( p \) in \( \binom{n}{k} \): \[ E_p(n) = \sum_{i=1}^\infty \left( \left\lfloor \frac{n}{p^i} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \frac{2n}{p^i} \right\rfloor \right) \] Clearly, \[ E_p(n) = s_p(2n) - 2s_p(n) \Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^\infty \left\{ \left\lfloor \frac{2n}{p^i} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \frac{n}{p^i} \right\rfloor \right\} \] Our alternative expression for \( s_p(n) \) yields \[ E_p(n) = 2s_p(n) - s_p(2n) \] In the first expression each term in the sum can easily be seen to be 0 or 1 and the number of terms does not exceed the exponent of the highest power of \( p \) that does not exceed \( n \). Hence ### Lemma 1. \( E_p(n) \leq \log_p(2n) \). ### Lemma 6. The contribution of \( p \) to \( \binom{n}{k} \) does not exceed \( 2n \). The following three lemmas are immediate. ### Lemma 7. Every prime in the range \( k < p < 2n \) appears exactly once in \( \binom{n}{k} \). ### Lemma 8. No prime in the range \( p > 2n \) appears more than once in \( \binom{n}{k} \). ### Lemma 9. Although it is not needed in what follows, it is amusing to note that since \( E_p(2n) = 2s_p(2n) - s_p(n) \) we have \( E_p(n) = s_p(n) \). As a first application of the lemmas, we prove the elegant result: ### Theorem 1. \[ \prod_{p \leq x} p < 4^x. \] The proof is by induction on \( x \). We assume the theorem for integers \( < n \) and consider the cases \( n = 2n \) and \( n = 2n-1 \): \[ \prod_{p \leq 2n} p < \prod_{p \leq 2n-1} p < 4^n. \] Next, we notice: ### Theorem 2. \[ \tau(n) \sim \frac{c_n}{\log n}. \] Clearly, \[ 4^n > \prod_{p \leq n} p > \prod_{p \leq 2n-1} p \quad \text{for } p > \sqrt{n} . \] Taking logarithms, we obtain \[ n \log 4 > \left( \tau(n) - \tau(\sqrt{n}) \right) \frac{1}{2} \log n \] or \[ \tau(n) > \frac{\log 2}{\log n} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}} \frac{c_n}{\log n}. \] Next, we prove ### Theorem 3. \[ \tau(n) \sim \frac{c_n}{\log n}. \] For this we use Lemmas 6 and 2. From these we obtain \[ \left( \frac{(2n)^{\frac{n}{2}}}{n} \right) > \tau(n) + \frac{d_n}{2} \log 2n. \] Taking logarithms, we find that \[ (\tau(n)+1) \log 2n > \log(2^n) = 2n \log 2. \] ``` #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 17 Context: Thus, for even \( m \): \[ \pi(m) + 1 = \frac{m}{\log 2} \] and the result follows. We next obtain an estimate for \( S(x) = \sum_{p \leq x} \log p \). Taking the logarithm of \( n! = \prod_{p \leq n} p^{e_p} \), we find that \[ \log n > \sum_{p \leq n} e_p \log p > \sum_{p \leq n} \log p. \] The reader may justify that the error introduced in replacing \( e_p(n) \) by \( e_p \) (of course \( e_p(n) = \sum_{p \leq n} e_p \) is small enough that \[ \sum_{p \leq n} \log p = n \log n + O(n) \] or \[ \sum_{p \leq n} \frac{\log p}{p} = \log n + O(1). \] We can now prove: ### Theorem 4. \[ R(x) = \sum_{p \leq x} S(n) - S(n - 1) = \sum_{p \leq x} S(n) \frac{1}{\log n} + O(1) \] In fact, \[ R(x) = \sum_{p \leq x} S(n) - S(n - 1) = \sum_{p \leq x} S(n) \left( \frac{1}{\log n} - \frac{1}{\log(n + 1)} \right) + O(1) = \sum_{n=2}^{x} \frac{\log(n + 1)}{(\log n)(\log(n + 1))} + O(1) = \log log n + O(1). \] Thus, \( R(x) = \log x + O(1) \). We now outline the proof of Chebyshev's theorem. ### Theorem 5. If \( R(x) \sim \frac{\alpha}{\log x} \text{ then } c = 1 \). Since \[ R(x) = \sum_{n = 1}^{x} \frac{\pi(n)}{n} \] but we already know that \( \pi(n) \sim \frac{n}{\log n} \) as follows that \( c = 1 \). We next give a proof of Bertrand's Postulate developed about ten years ago (L. Moser). To make the proof go more smoothly we only prove the somewhat weaker: ### Theorem 6. For every integer \( r \) there exists a prime \( p \) with \[ 3 \cdot 2^{r - 1} < p < 3 \cdot 2^r. \] We restate several of our lemmas in the form in which they will be used. 1. If \( n < p < 2n \) then \( p \) occurs exactly once in \( \binom{n}{2} \). 2. If \( 2^r < p < 3 \cdot 2^{r - 1} \) then \( p \) does not occur in \( \frac{3 \cdot 2^r}{(3 \cdot 2^{r - 1})} \). 3. If \( p > 2^{r + 1} \) then \( p \) occurs at most once in \( \frac{3 \cdot 2^r}{(3 \cdot 2^{r - 1})} \). 4. No prime occurs more than \( 2r + 1 \) times in \( \frac{3 \cdot r}{(3 \cdot 2^{r - 1})} \). We now compare \[ \frac{3 \cdot 2^{2r - 1}}{(2^{r - 1})(3 \cdot 2^{r - 1})}. \] Assume that there is no prime in the range \( 3 \cdot 2^{r - 1} < p < 3 \cdot 2^r \). Then, for every prime that occurs in the first expression also occurs in the second with at least as high a multiplicity; that is, the second expression is not smaller than the first. On the other hand, observing that for \( r \geq 6 \): \[ 3 \cdot 2^{r} > 2^{r} + 2^{r - 1} + \ldots + 2^{r + 1} + 2 r(2^{r + 1} + 2^{r - 1} + \ldots + 2), \] #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 18 Context: ``` # Chapter 3: Distribution of Primes 1. \( r \) and interpreting \( \binom{2n}{n} \) as the number of ways of choosing \( r \) objects from \( 2n \), we conclude that the second expression is indeed smaller than the first. This contradiction proves the theorem when \( r > 5 \). The results 7, 29, 97, 389, and 1543 show that the theorem is also true for \( r \leq 5 \). The proof of Bertrand's Postulate by this method is left as an exercise. Bertrand's Postulate may be used to prove the following results. 1. \(\frac{1}{n} \sum_{p \leq n} \frac{1}{p} \text{ is never an integer.}\) 2. Every integer \( > 6 \) can be written as the sum of distinct primes. 3. Every prime \( p_n \) can be expressed in the form \[ p_n = 2 + 3 + 5 + \cdots + p_{n-1} \] with an error of most 1 (Sierk). 4. The equation \( \pi(n) = \psi(n) \) has exactly 8 solutions. About 1949 a sensation was created by the discovery by Erdős and Selberg of an elementary proof of the Prime Number Theorem. The main new result was the following estimate, proved in an elementary manner: \[ \sum_{p \leq x} \log p \sim 2x \log x + O(x). \] Although Selberg's inequality is still far from the Prime Number Theorem, the latter can be deduced from it in various ways without recourse to any further number theoretical results. Several proofs of this lemma have been given, perhaps the simplest being due to Tzwarzow and Szelk. Selberg's original proof depends on consideration of the functions \[ \lambda_n = \mu_n = \sum_{d \mid d} \mu(d) \frac{1}{d^2} \] and \[ T(r) = \sum_{n=1}^{r} \lambda^2. \] Some five years ago J. Landeck and L. Moser showed that one could prove Selberg's lemma in a completely elementary way, i.e., using properties of integers only. One of the main tools for doing this is the following rational analogue of the logarithmic function. Let \[ h(r) = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \cdots + \frac{1}{r}}. \] We prove in an quite elementary way that \[ |h(e) - h(c)| < \frac{1}{k}. \] The results we have established are useful in the investigation of the magnitudes of the arithmetic functions \( \sigma(n) \), \( \phi(n) \) and \( g(n) \). Since these depend not only on the magnitude of \( n \) but also strongly on the arithmetic structure of \( n \), we cannot expect to approximate them by the elementary functions of analysis. Nevertheless, we shall will see that “on average” these functions have a rather simple behavior. Let \( f \) and \( g \) be functions for which \[ f(1) + f(2) + \cdots + f(n) + g(1) + g(2) + \cdots + g(n), \] we say that \( f \) and \( g \) have the same average order. We will see, for example, that the average order of \( \sigma(n) \) is long, that of \( \phi(n) \) is \(\frac{n}{\log n}\). Let us consider first a purely heuristic argument for obtaining the average value of \( a(n) \). The probability that \( r \mid n \) and \( r \leq 1 \) contributes \( \left( \frac{1}{k} \right)^r \) to \( a(n) \). Thus the expected value of \( a(n) \) is \[ \frac{1}{T(r)} \left( \sum_{k=1}^{1} \frac{1}{k} + 1 + \frac{1}{k} \right). \] For \( k = 0 \) this will be about \( \log n \). For \( n \geq 1 \) it will be about \( n^{k}(k + 1) \), e.g., for \( n = 1 \) it will be about \( n(k^2) = n^2 + \frac{1}{k^2} \). Before proceeding to the proof and refinement of some of these results we consider some applications of the inversion of order of summation in certain double sums. Let \( f \) be an arithmetic function and associate with it the function \[ F(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} f(d) \] and \( g(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} f(d). \] We will obtain two expressions for \[ F(n) = \sum_{n=1}^{r} f(d). \] ``` #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 19 Context: # Chapter 3: Distribution of Primes Let \( F(x) \) be the sum - \( f(1) \) - \( f(2) \) - \( f(3) \) - \( f(4) \) - \( f(5) \) - \( f(6) \) Adding along vertical lines, we have \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{f(n)}{n} \right] \] If we add along the successive diagonal lines, each beginning with \( f(1) \) and with "slopes" \(-1, -2, -3, \ldots\), we obtain \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f\left( \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \right) \] Thus, \[ \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \sum_{d \mid n} f(d) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f\left( \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \right) \] The special case \( f = \mu \) yields \[ 1 = \sum_{d \mid n} \mu(d) \left[ \frac{n}{d} \right] = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mu\left( \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \right) \] which we previously considered. From \[ \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \mu(d) \left[ \frac{1}{d} \right] = 1, \] we have, on removing brackets, allowing for error, and dividing by \( x \), \[ \left| \sum_{d \mid n} \frac{\mu(d)}{d} \right| < 1. \] Actually, it is known that \[ \sum_{d \mid n} \mu(d) = 0, \] but a proof of this is as deep as that of the prime number theorem. Next, we consider the case \( f = 1 \). Here we obtain \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \tau(n) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{1}{n} \right] = x \log x + O(x). \] In the case \( f = n \), we find that \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \tau(n) \cdot n = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sum_{k \mid n} \left[ \frac{n}{k} \right] = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} k \left( 1 + 2 + \cdots + \left[ \frac{n}{k} \right] \right). \] In the case \( f = \phi \), recalling that \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \phi(n) = n, \] we obtain \[ \frac{x(d + 1)}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \phi(d) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \phi(d) + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \phi(d) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{x}{2} \right). \] Where \( \phi(n) = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \phi(k) \). From this, we easily obtain \[ \frac{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \phi(d)}{d} + \frac{x + 1}{2}, \] which reveals that, on the average, \( \phi(d) \geq d \). One can also use a similar inversion of order of summation to obtain the following important second Möbius inversion formula: ## Theorem \[ G(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \Rightarrow F(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mu(n)G\left( \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \right). \] ### Proof \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{n}{m} \right) + \left( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ \frac{n}{m} \right] \right). \] Consider again our estimate \[ \tau(n) + \tau(n-1) + \cdots + \tau(n-r) = x + O(n). \] It is useful to obtain a quantitative insight into this result.

Distribution of Primes The number \(C(r, \alpha)\) of integers \( \leq r\) having a prime divisor \( > x, \, 1 > \alpha > \frac{1}{2} \) is \( \sim -z \log \log r \). In fact, we have: \[ C(r, \alpha) = \sum_{p \leq r} \sum_{n \leq r/p} 1 = r \left(\frac{\log r - \log \log r}{\log r}\right) = (z \log r - \log \log r) = -z \log \alpha. \] For example, the density of numbers having a prime factor exceeding their square root is \( \sim \log 2 \; : \; \zeta \). Thus far we have considered mainly average behavior of arithmetic functions. We could also inquire about absolute bounds. One can prove without difficulty that \[ \frac{1}{n} \sum_{r(n)} \left( n \right) > 0 \quad \text{for all } n. \] Also, it is known that \[ n \gg r(n) \quad \text{and} \quad n \approx c(n) \sim \frac{n}{\log \log n}. \] As for \(r(n)\), it is not difficult to show that \[ r(n) \gg (\log n)^{k} \quad \text{for } n \gg e^{c(k)}. \] A somewhat different type of problem concerning average values of arithmetic functions was the subject of a University of Alberta master's thesis of Mr. R. Trolope a couple of years ago. Let \(s_{t}(n)\) be the sum of the digits of \(n\) when written in base \(r\). Mirskey has proved that: \[ s_{1}(n) + s_{2}(n) + \ldots + s_{t}(n) \sim \frac{1}{2} \log n, \, n. \] Mr. Trolope considered similar sums where the elements on the left run over certain sequences such as primes, squares, etc. Still another quite amusing result he obtained states that \[ \frac{s_1(n) + s_2(n) + \ldots + s_t(n)}{n^2} \sim 1 - \frac{\pi^2}{12}. \] #################### File: An%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Numbers%20-%20Leo%20Moser%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 48 Context: ``` 86 Let \( a_1 < a_2 < \cdots \) be a sequence of positive integers and let \( f(n) \) denote the number of solutions of \( a_i + a_j = n \).

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. At 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. Preceding 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. Each 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 ########## """QUERY: tes""" Consider the chat history for relevant information.
