    Binary tree

    A. Write 3n − (k + 5) in prefix notation: ????. b. If T is a binary tree with 100 vertices, its minimum height is ????. c. Every full binary tree with 50 leaves has ???? vertices.

    Proof regarding divisibility

    Suppose A divides N and B divides N. Does this always imply: A * B divides n? Now the question is under what condition A*B will always divide N? Prove it.

    Relations on Set {0,1} : Binary, Reflexive and Symmetric

    I have done several examples but these I cannot get right, I am not sure where I have made the mistake and I am confusing myself. a. List all the binary relations on the set {0,1}. b. List the reflexive relations on the set {0,1}. c. List the symmetric relations on the set {0,1}.

    Big-Oh Proving Question

    A. Use the definition of big-oh to prove that 3n - 8 - 4n^3 / 2n - 1 is O(n^2). B. Use the definition of big-oh to prove that 1 . 2 + 2 . 3 + 3 . 4 + ... + (n - 1) . n is O(n3).

    Recursive definition

    I need to give a recursive definition with initial condition(s). a.) The sequence {an}, n = 1,2,3,... where an = 2n. b.) The Fibonacci numbers 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ....

    Relations

    For each case, think of a set S and a binary relation p on S for - A. p is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive b. p is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric c. p is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive

    Subgrpous

    Prove: any subgroup of the order of p^(n-1) in a group of order p^n, where p is a prime, is a normal subgroup

    Discrete Math Assumptions

    The following is is meant to have some assumptions made (like "n"). I have been up all night trying to figure this out. It can't be Euler because the vertices can't be >1. It might be Hamilton if I assume that E of G(V,E) is infinte..but how would I get my answer? I would just have sets (e1, e2,...) Could this be a straight

    Root finding of non-linear equation

    Solve the equation tanh(1/x) / (1/x) = 0.95 Using the graphical, Bisection, Newton-Raphson, Regula Falsi or Muller methods. Solve the equation 1+1/[cos(x)*cosh(x)] - ax*[tan(x)-tanh(x)] Using Mueller's method

    Discrete Math : Set Relations

    Let SIGMA = {a,b} be an alphabet. a. List between braces the elemnts of SIGMA4. the set of strings of length over SIGMA. b. Let A = SIGMA1 U SIGMA2 and B = SIGMA3 U SIGMA4. Describe A, B and AUB in plain English.

    Proof of Fixed Point Theorem using Stokes Theorem and Analysis

    Prove that if D is the closed disc |x|  1 in R2, then any map f 2 C2[D ! D] has a fixed point: f(x) = x. The proof is by contradiction, and uses Stokes theorem. Follow the steps outlined below. (1) Define a new map F(x) = 1 .... Show that F has no fixed points if r is small enough. (2) Draw the ray from F(x) to x (these ar

    Venn Diagrams: Union, Intersection and Compliment

    A. Write the first 6 elements of the following sets: E is the set of even numbers E={ } L is the set of numbers divisible by 11. L={ } S is the set of numbers divisible by 6. S={ } b. Draw a Venn Diagram to represent the relationship among E,L,S. c. Place the following five numbers on the

    Game Theory : Two-person, Constant-Sum Games

    The attached file has a problem that I can't figure out how to set up. Can you take a look and explain how this problem should be set up? There are two people playing a two-person constant-sum game. Player 1 wants to travel from New York to Dallas using the shortest of the possible routes listed below. Player 2 has the ab

    Proof/logic

    To prove a statement "If P then Q", it is valid to prove which of the following statements instead? A. If not Q then not P B. If Q then P C. If not P then not Q D. Q only if P E. Both P and Q are true

    Chain breaking puzzle.

    A traveler owing a gold chain with 7 links is accepted at an inn on condition that he pay one link of the chain for each day he stays. if the traveler is to pay daily and may be given links already used in payment as change, show that he only needs to take out one of the links of the chain in order to pay each day for 7 days. (n

    Proof Set is Countable : Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem

    Given S is a subset of R Suppose S' (set of all accumulation points in S) = emptyset Prove S is countable. I think I am supposed to use the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem but I can't figure out how to apply it.

    Venn Diagrams : Union and Intersection of Sets

    Given the universal set of {x 0<x< 10}(this should read less than and equal too) and sets A,B,and C as defined below: A={factors of 6) B= {factors of 10} C= {odd numbers} a. List the elements in A U B U C. (they are suppossed to be upside down U"s ) b. State A U (B U C). (the U in between the b, c is the wrong way).
