|
$m_8$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
17. _Tower of Hanoi with Adjacency Requirement:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suppose that in addition to the requirement that they never move a larger disk
|
||||||
|
on top of a smaller one, the priests who move the disks of the Tower of Hanoi
|
||||||
|
are also allowed only to move disks one by one from one pole to an _adjacent_
|
||||||
|
pole. Assume poles $A$ and $C$ are at the two ends of the row and pole $B$ is in
|
||||||
|
the middle. Let
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ a_n = \left[\text{the minimum number of moves needed to transfer a tower of } n \text{ disks from pole } A \text{ to pole } C \right] $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Find $a_1, a_2$, and $a_3$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Find $a_4$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. Find a recurrence relation for $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$. Justify your answer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
18. _Tower of Hanoi with Adjacency Requirement:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suppose the same situation as in exercise 17. Let
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ b_n = \left[\text{the minimum number of moves needed to transfer a tower of } n \text{ disks from pole } A \text{ to pole } B \right] $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Find $b_1, b_2$, and $b_3$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Find $b_4$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. Show that $b_k = a_{k - 1} + 1 + b_{k - 1}$ for each integer $k \geq 2$,
|
||||||
|
where $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$ is the sequence defined in exercise 17.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
d. Show that $b_k \leq 3b_{k - 1} + 1$ for each integer $k \geq 2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e. Show that $b_k = 3b_{k - 1} + 1$ for each integer $k \geq 2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
19. _Four-Pole Tower of Hanoi:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suppose that the Tower of Hanoi problem has four poles in a row instead of
|
||||||
|
three. Disks can be transferred one by one from one pole to any other pole, but
|
||||||
|
at no time may a larger disk be placed on top of a smaller disk. Let $s_n$ be
|
||||||
|
the minimum number of moves needed to transfer the entire tower of $n$ disks
|
||||||
|
from the left-most to the right-most pole.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Find $s_1, s_2$, and $s_3$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Find $s_4$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. Show that $s_k \leq 2s_{k - 2} + 3$ for every integer $k \geq 3$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
20. _Tower of Hanoi Poles in a Circle:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Suppose that instead of being lined up in a row, the three poles for the
|
||||||
|
original Tower of Hanoi are placed in a circle. The monks move the disks one by
|
||||||
|
one from one pole to another, but they may only move disks one over in a
|
||||||
|
clockwise direction and they may never move a larger disk on top of a smaller
|
||||||
|
one. Let $c_n$ be the minimum number of moves needed to transfer a pile of $n$
|
||||||
|
disks from one pole to the next adjacent pole in the clockwise direction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Justify the inequality $c_k \leq 4c_{k - 1} + 1$ for each integer $k \geq 2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. The expression $4c_{k - 1} + 1$ is not the minimum number of moves needed to
|
||||||
|
transfer a pile of $k$ disks from one pole to another. Explain, for example, why
|
||||||
|
$c_3 \neq 4c_2 + 1$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
21. _Double Tower of Hanoi:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this variation of the Tower of Hanoi there are three poles in a row and $2n$
|
||||||
|
disks, two each of $n$ different sizes, where $n$ is any positive integer.
|
||||||
|
Initially one of the poles contains all the disks placed on top of each other in
|
||||||
|
pairs of decreasing size. Disks are transferred one by one from one pole to
|
||||||
|
another, but at no time may a larger disk be placed on top of a smaller disk.
|
||||||
|
However, a disk may be placed on top of one of the same size. Let $t_n$ be the
|
||||||
|
minimum number of moves needed to transfer a tower of $2n$ disks from one pole
|
||||||
|
to another.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Find $t_1$ and $t_2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Find $t_3$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. Find a recurrence relation for $t_1, t_2, t_3, \dots$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
22. _Fibonacci Variation:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A single pair of rabbits (male and female) is born at the beginning of a year.
|
||||||
|
Assume the following conditions (which are somewhat more realistic than
|
||||||
|
Fibonacci's):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(1) Rabbit pairs are not fertile during their first months of life but
|
||||||
|
thereafter give birth to four new male/female pairs at the end of every month.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(2) No rabbits die.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Let $r_n = \text{ the number of rabbits alive at the end of month } n$, for
|
||||||
|
each integer $n \geq 1$, and let $r_0 = 1$. Find a recurrence relation for
|
||||||
|
$r_0, r_1, r_2, \dots$. Justify your answer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Compute $r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3, r_4, r_5$, and $r_6$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. How many rabbits will there be at the end of the year?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
23. _Fibonacci Variation:_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A single pair of rabbits (male and female) is born at the beginning of a year.
|
||||||
|
Assume the following conditions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(1) Rabbit pairs are not fertile during their first _two_ months of life but
|
||||||
|
thereafter give birth to three new male/female pairs at the end of every month.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(2) No rabbits die.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Let
|
||||||
|
$s_n = \text{ the number of pairs of rabbits alive at the end of month } n$, for
|
||||||
|
each integer $n \geq 1$, and let $s_0 = 1$. Find a recurrence relation for
|
||||||
|
$s_0, s_1, s_2, \dots$. Justify your answer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Compute $s_0, s_1, s_2, s_3, s_4$, and $s_5$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. How many rabbits will there be at the end of the year?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In 24-34, $F_0, F_1, F_2, \dots$ is the Fibonacci sequence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
24. Use the recurrence relation and values for $F_0, F_1, F_2, \dots$ given in
|
||||||
|
Example 5.6.6 to compute $F_{13}$ and $F_{14}$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
25. The Fibonacci sequence satisfies the recurrence relation
|
||||||
|
$F_k = F_{k - 1} + F_{k - 2}$, for every integer $k \geq 2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Explain why the following is true:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ F_{k + 1} = F_k + F_{k - 1} \text{ for each integer } k \geq 1 $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b. Write an equation expressing $F_{k + 2}$ in terms of $F_{k + 1}$ and $F_k$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c. Write an equation expressing $F_{k + 3}$ in terms of $F_{k + 2}$ and
|
||||||
|
$F_{k + 1}$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
26. Prove that $F_k = 3F_{k - 3} + 2F_{k - 4}$ for every integer $k \geq 4$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
27. Prove that $F_k^2 - F_{k - 1}^2 = F_kF_{k + 1} - F_{k - 1}F_{k + 1}$, for
|
||||||
|
every integer $k \geq 1$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
28. Prove that $F_{k + 1}^2 - F_k^2 - F_{k - 1}^2 = 2F_kF_{k - 1}$, for each
|
||||||
|
integer $k \geq 1$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
29. Prove that $F_{k + 1}^2 - F_k^2 = F_{k - 1}F_{k + 2}$, for every integer
|
||||||
|
$k \geq 1$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
30. Use mathematical induction to prove that for each integer $n \geq 0$,
|
||||||
|
$F_{n + 2}F_n - F_{n + 1}^2 = (-1)^n$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
31. Use strong mathematical induction to prove that $F_n < 2^n$ for every
|
||||||
|
integer $n \geq 1$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
32. Prove that for each integer $n \geq 0$, $\text{gcd}(F_{n + 1}, F_n) = 1$.
|
||||||
|
(The definition of $\text{gcd}$ is given in Section 4.10.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
33. It turns out that the Fibonacci sequence satisfies the following explicit
|
||||||
|
formula: For every integer $F_n \geq 0$,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ F_n = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left[\left(\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n + 1} - \left(\frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{n + 1}\right] $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Verify that the sequence defined by this formula satisfies the recurrence
|
||||||
|
relation $F_k = F_{k - 1} + F_{k - 2}$ for every integer $k \geq 2$.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
34. (For students who have studied calculus) Find
|
||||||
|
$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\left(\dfrac{F_{n + 1}}{F_n}\right)$, assuming
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
35. (For students who have studied calculus) Prove that
|
||||||
|
$\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\left(\dfrac{F_{n + 1}}{F_n}\right)$ exists.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
36. (For students who have studied calculus) Define $x_0, x_1, x_2, \dots$ as
|
||||||
|
follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ x_k = \sqrt{2 + x_{k - 1}} \quad \text{ for each integer } k \geq 1 $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ x_0 = 0 $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Find $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}x_n$. (Assume that the limit exists.)
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
one stair or two stairs. As a result, you can climb the entire staircase
|
||||||
|
taking one stair at a time, taking two at a time, or taking a combination of

|
Imagine constructing towers by piling blocks of different heights directly

||||||
|
on top of one another. (A tower of height $6$ cm could be obtained using six
|
||||||
|
$1$-cm blocks, three $2$-cm blocks one $2$-cm block with one $4$-cm block on
|
||||||
|
top, one $4$-cm block with one $2$-cm block on top, and so forth.) Let $t_n$

||||||
|
recursive definition of summation, together with mathematical induction, to
|
||||||
|
prove the generalized distributive law that for every positive integer $n$,
|
||||||
|
if $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ and $c$ are real numbers, then
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ \sum_{i = 1}^{n}{ca_i} = c\left(\sum_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i}\right) $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
42. Assume the truth of the commutative and associative laws (Appendix A, F1 and

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ \prod_{i = 1}^{n}{(a_ib_i)} = \left(\prod_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i}\right)\left(\prod_{i = 1}^{n}{b_i}\right) $$

summation, the triangle inequality, the definition of absolute value, and
|
||||||
|
mathematical induction to prove that for each p ositive integer $n$, if
|
||||||
|
$a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ are real numbers, then
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

**Definition**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A **recurrence relation** for a sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots$ is a formula
|
||||||
|
that relates each term $a_k$ to certain of its predecessors
|
||||||
|
$a_{k - 1}, a_{k - 2}, \dots, a_{k - i}$, where $i$ is an integer with
|
||||||
|
$k - i \geq 0$. If $i$ is a fixed integer, the **initial conditions** for such a
|
||||||
|
recurrence relation specify the values of $a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots, a_{i - 1}$. If
|
||||||
|
$i$ depends on $k$, the initial conditions specify the values of
|
||||||
|
$a_0, a_1, \dots, a_m$, where $m$ is an integer with $m \geq 0$.

**Definition**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Given numbers $a_1, a_2, \dots a_n$, where $n$ is a positive integer, the
|
||||||
|
**summation from $i = 1$ to $n$ of the $a_i$**, denoted $\sum_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i}$,
|
||||||
|
is defined as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ \sum_{i = 1}^{1}{a_i} = a_1 \quad \text{ and } \quad \sum_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i} = \left(\sum_{i = 1}^{n - 1}{a_i}\right) + a_n, \quad \text{ if } n > 1 $$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **product from $i = 1$ to $n$ of the $a_i$**, denoted
|
||||||
|
$\prod_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i}$, is defined by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$ \prod_{i = 1}^{1}{a_i} = a_1 \quad \text{ and } \quad \prod_{i = 1}^{n}{a_i} = \left(\prod_{i = 1}^{n - 1}{a_i}\right) \cdot a_n, \quad \text{ if } \quad n > 1 $$
