Recursion Definition and 120 Threads

I am trying to prove the expression for Dickson polynomials: $$D_n(x, a)=\sum_{i=0}^{\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\rfloor}d_{n,i}x^{n-2i}, \quad \text{where} \quad d_{n,i}=\frac{n}{n-i}{n-i\choose i}(-a)^i$$ I am supposed to use the recurrence relation: $$D_n(x,a)=xD_{n-1}(x,a)-aD_{n-2}(x,a)$$ I have...

I got the idea for problems like factorials or finding sum from 1 to n, where there's a pattern visible. Like this: Source:https://99x.io/blog/recursion-is-not-hard-here-is-the-right-way-to-think I got it for things like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication of two numbers as well...

Hi everyone Could someone show my the correct way to use a recursive runnable? The example I have involves the invokeLater method from SwingUtilities. public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e ) { Runnable runnable = new Runnable( ) { public void run( ) {...

suppose you write, clockwise, n numbers (or "units", doesn't matter) in a circle. you then color, clockwise, each k-th number. you do this until you've colored all n numbers, or until you've reached an already colored number. let x be the number of colored numbers. i've figured that if...

I don't know how to do a search for information on a specific equation. It's f(n + 1) = 2 - \dfrac{d(n)}{f(n)}, where d(n) is more or less arbitrary. It came up in some work I've been doing and I can't seem to get anywhere with it. Being non-linear it may not even have a closed form solution...

Here's the following code I've written for generating strings of length k given a CNF grammar ( Chomsky Normal Form grammar ) ( The code is a recursive variant of the CYK algorithm ). The algorithm is recursive and uses memoization. def generate_language(rule_dict, start_var, k): mem =...

how can i write a function that calculate math formula using void function-recursion in C?

I need some help with this task. My theory book only shows examples of how to solve sequences in the form : 𝑎𝑘 = A * 𝑎(𝑘−1) − B * 𝑎(𝑘−2). But I've no idea how to solve this task because of the alternating term. I've included the Answer (called "Svar") to the task.

Homework Statement: Suppose f(n) is a function that accepts an integer n as a parameter. When called with n = 1, it executes 2 instructions. When called with a larger value of n, it executes 10n + 30 instructions, two of which are f(n/2). Prove that f(n) executes 10n lg n + 32n − 30...

Hey all, for a dictionary app I have to code I have to implement as crossword game as a side feature, unfortunately this is compulsory, I can't figure out a good way of finding words that intersect each other (esp words that intersect multiple others) without a hell of a lot of goto and while's...

Hello, I've been working through some Digital Signal Processing stuff by myself online, and I saw a system that I wanted to write down as a Linear Algebra Equation. It's a simple delay feedback loop, looks like this: The (+) is an adder that adds 2 signals together, so the signal from x[n]...

I've found the general solution to be y(x) = C1cos(x) + C2sin(x). I've also found a recursion relation for the equation to be: An+2 = -An / (n+2)(n+1) I now need to show that this recursion relation is equivalent to the general solution. How do I go about doing this? Any help would be...

I have read a proof but I have a question. To give some context, I first wrote down this proof as written in the book. First, I provide the recursion theorem though. Recursion theorem: Let H be a set. Let ##e \in H##. Let ##k: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow H## be a function. Then there exists a...

Upto how many levels of recursion can be used in an algorithm to avoid stack overflow error ?

When I do things like cout << 1/3; in C++, it will typically output 0.333333, but the actual answer should be 0.3333333 with an infinite amount of 3s, how should I make a function such that will mimic this division recursively?

Oddly enough, I don't remember doing a problem like. I have had a problem where I've been given the explicit formula and then asked to use induction to prove that it's correct. I think that I'm supposed to back-substitute sn into the recursion formula and go from there.

Hi, I'd like to know the log properties when they are the power of a constant. I've searched everywhere but I can't find it. the reason I want to know it is that, when solving a recursion tree problem, my teacher got an result of n^(log4 3) but I got 3^(log4 n). the base of the log haven't...
