AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a proposition in the preliminaries section of the Patterson Algorithm that states "\theta/p | \psi/p" leading to "\theta | \psi". The user seeks clarification on the implications of this statement and the role of the variable g, questioning why it does not have a degree and why a smaller choice for g might contradict the conditions outlined. There is also a reminder about forum etiquette regarding thread bumping. The conversation highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the mathematical relationships and choices involved in the algorithm. Overall, the thread emphasizes the complexities of the Patterson Algorithm and the importance of precise definitions in mathematical propositions.

Hi every one

In the preliminaries section, the item c), there a proposition that say: "So by our choice of g we get "\theta/p | \psi/p" whence "\theta | \psi" ". I am not understanding this propositión, Please help me

That

\theta/p~\vert~\psi/p

means that there exists a c such that

c\theta/p=\psi/p

Now multiply both sides by p...
 
thanks by your attention, but, a important part is: In the preliminaries section, the item c), there a proposition that say: "So by our choice of g we get "
\theta/p | \psi/p[\tex], how i use "So by our choice of g we get", Why g havenot any degree?, why choice small as posible that contravening c)?

juaninf, if you keep "bumping" your threads every few minutes, you are going to get banned.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
