Section Summary Sequences. Examples: Geometric Progression, Arithmetic Progression Recurrence Relations Example: Fibonacci Sequence Summations Special Integer Sequences (optional)

Introduction Sequences are ordered lists of elements. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, ……. Sequences arise throughout mathematics, computer science, and in many other disciplines, ranging from botany to music. We will introduce the terminology to represent sequences and sums of the terms in the sequences.

Sequences Definition: A sequence is a function from a subset of the integers (usually either the set { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …..} or { 1, 2, 3, 4, ….} ) to a set S. The notation a n is used to denote the image of the integer n. We can think of a n as the equivalent of f(n) where f is a function from { 0,1,2,…..} to S. We call a n a term of the sequence.

Sequences Example: Consider the sequence where

Geometric Progression Definition: A geometric progression is a sequence of the form: where the initial term a and the common ratio r are real numbers. Examples: 1. Let a = 1 and r = −1. Then: 2. Let a = 2 and r = 5. Then: 3. Let a = 6 and r = 1/3. Then:

Arithmetic Progression Definition: A arithmetic progression is a sequence of the form: where the initial term a and the common difference d are real numbers. Examples: 1. Let a = −1 and d = 4 : 2. Let a = 7 and d = −3 : 3. Let a = 1 and d = 2 :

Strings Definition: A string is a finite sequence of characters from a finite set (an alphabet). Sequences of characters or bits are important in computer science. The empty string is represented by λ. The string abcde has length 5.

Recurrence Relations Definition: A recurrence relation for the sequence {a n } is an equation that expresses a n in terms of one or more of the previous terms of the sequence, namely, a 0, a 1, …, a n-1, for all integers n with n ≥ n 0, where n 0 is a nonnegative integer. A sequence is called a solution of a recurrence relation if its terms satisfy the recurrence relation. The initial conditions for a sequence specify the terms that precede the first term where the recurrence relation takes effect.

Questions about Recurrence Relations Example 1 : Let {a n } be a sequence that satisfies the recurrence relation a n = a n for n = 1,2,3,4, …. and suppose that a 0 = 2. What are a 1, a 2 and a 3 ? [Here a 0 = 2 is the initial condition.] Solution: We see from the recurrence relation that a 1 = a = = 5 a 2 = = 8 a 3 = = 11

Questions about Recurrence Relations Example 2 : Let {a n } be a sequence that satisfies the recurrence relation a n = a n-1 – a n-2 for n = 2,3,4,…. and suppose that a 0 = 3 and a 1 = 5. What are a 2 and a 3 ? [Here the initial conditions are a 0 = 3 and a 1 = 5. ] Solution: We see from the recurrence relation that a 2 = a 1 - a 0 = 5 – 3 = 2 a 3 = a 2 – a 1 = 2 – 5 = – 3

Fibonacci Sequence Definition : Define the Fibonacci sequence, f 0,f 1,f 2,…, by: Initial Conditions: f 0 = 0, f 1 = 1 Recurrence Relation: f n = f n-1 + f n-2 Example: Find f 2,f 3,f 4, f 5 and f 6. Answer: f 2 = f 1 + f 0 = = 1, f 3 = f 2 + f 1 = = 2, f 4 = f 3 + f 2 = = 3, f 5 = f 4 + f 3 = = 5, f 6 = f 5 + f 4 = = 8.

Solving Recurrence Relations Finding a formula for the nth term of the sequence generated by a recurrence relation is called solving the recurrence relation. Such a formula is called a closed formula. Various methods for solving recurrence relations will be covered in Chapter 8 where recurrence relations will be studied in greater depth. Here we illustrate by example the method of iteration in which we need to guess the formula. The guess can be proved correct by the method of induction (Chapter 5).

Iterative Solution Example Method 1 : Working upward, forward substitution Let { a n } be a sequence that satisfies the recurrence relation a n = a n for n = 2,3,4,…. and suppose that a 1 = 2. a 2 = a 3 = (2 + 3) + 3 = ∙ 2 a 4 = (2 + 2 ∙ 3) + 3 = ∙ 3. a n = a n = (2 + 3 ∙ ( n – 2)) + 3 = 2 + 3( n – 1)

Iterative Solution Example Method 2 : Working downward, backward substitution Let { a n } be a sequence that satisfies the recurrence relation a n = a n for n = 2,3,4,…. and suppose that a 1 = 2. a n = a n = ( a n-2 + 3) + 3 = a n ∙ 2 = ( a n )+ 3 ∙ 2 = a n ∙ 3. = a 2 + 3(n – 2) = ( a 1 + 3) + 3(n – 2) = 2 + 3(n – 1)

Financial Application Example: Suppose that a person deposits $ 10, in a savings account at a bank yielding 11 % per year with interest compounded annually. How much will be in the account after 30 years? Let P n denote the amount in the account after 30 years. P n satisfies the following recurrence relation: P n = P n P n-1 = ( 1.11 ) P n-1 with the initial condition P 0 = 10,000 Continued on next slide 

Financial Application P n = P n P n-1 = ( 1.11 ) P n-1 with the initial condition P 0 = 10,000 Solution: Forward Substitution P 1 = ( 1.11 )P 0 P 2 = ( 1.11 )P 1 = ( 1.11 ) 2 P 0 P 3 = ( 1.11 )P 2 = ( 1.11 ) 3 P 0 : P n = ( 1.11 )P n-1 = ( 1.11 ) n P 0 = ( 1.11 ) n 10,000 P n = ( 1.11 ) n 10,000 ( Can prove by induction, covered in Chapter 5 ) P 30 = ( 1.11 ) 30 10,000 = $ 228,992.97

Useful Sequences

Summations Sum of the terms from the sequence The notation: represents The variable j is called the index of summation. It runs through all the integers starting with its lower limit m and ending with its upper limit n.

Summations More generally for a set S: Examples:

Product Notation (optional) Product of the terms from the sequence The notation: represents

Geometric Series Sums of terms of geometric progressions Proof:Let To compute S n, first multiply both sides of the equality by r and then manipulate the resulting sum as follows: Continued on next slide 

Geometric Series Shifting the index of summation with k = j + 1. Removing k = n + 1 term and adding k = 0 term. Substituting S for summation formula ∴ if r ≠1 if r = 1 From previous slide.

Some Useful Summation Formulae Later we will prove some of these by induction. Proof in text (requires calculus) Geometric Series: We just proved this.

Section 2.5

Section Summary Cardinality Countable Sets Computability

Cardinality Definition: The cardinality of a set A is equal to the cardinality of a set B, denoted |A| = |B|, if and only if there is a one-to-one correspondence (i.e., a bijection) from A to B. If there is a one-to-one function (i.e., an injection) from A to B, the cardinality of A is less than or the same as the cardinality of B and we write |A| ≤ | B |. When |A| ≤ | B | and A and B have different cardinality, we say that the cardinality of A is less than the cardinality of B and write |A| < | B |.

Cardinality Definition: A set that is either finite or has the same cardinality as the set of positive integers (Z + ) is called countable. A set that is not countable is uncountable. The set of real numbers R is an uncountable set. When an infinite set is countable (countably infinite) its cardinality is ℵ 0 (where ℵ is aleph, the 1 st letter of the Hebrew alphabet). We write |S| = ℵ 0 and say that S has cardinality “aleph null.”

Showing that a Set is Countable An infinite set is countable if and only if it is possible to list the elements of the set in a sequence (indexed by the positive integers). The reason for this is that a one-to-one correspondence f from the set of positive integers to a set S can be expressed in terms of a sequence a 1,a 2,…, a n,… where a 1 = f( 1 ), a 2 = f( 2 ),…, a n = f(n),…

Hilbert’s Grand Hotel The Grand Hotel (example due to David Hilbert) has countably infinite number of rooms, each occupied by a guest. We can always accommodate a new guest at this hotel. How is this possible? David Hilbert Explanation: Because the rooms of Grand Hotel are countable, we can list them as Room 1, Room 2, Room 3, and so on. When a new guest arrives, we move the guest in Room 1 to Room 2, the guest in Room 2 to Room 3, and in general the guest in Room n to Room n + 1, for all positive integers n. This frees up Room 1, which we assign to the new guest, and all the current guests still have rooms. The hotel can also accommodate a countable number of new guests, all the guests on a countable number of buses where each bus contains a countable number of guests (see exercises).

Showing that a Set is Countable Example 1 : Show that the set of positive even integers E is countable set. Solution: Let f ( x ) = 2 x … …… Then f is a bijection from N to E since f is both one-to-one and onto. To show that it is one-to-one, suppose that f (n) = f (m). Then 2n = 2m, and so n = m. To see that it is onto, suppose that t is an even positive integer. Then t = 2 k for some positive integer k and f(k) = t.

Showing that a Set is Countable Example 2 : Show that the set of integers Z is countable. Solution: Can list in a sequence: 0, 1, − 1, 2, − 2, 3, − 3,……….. Or can define a bijection from N to Z: When n is even: f(n) = n/ 2 When n is odd: f(n) = − (n −1 )/ 2

The Positive Rational Numbers are Countable Definition: A rational number can be expressed as the ratio of two integers p and q such that q ≠ 0. ¾ is a rational number √2 is not a rational number. Example 3 : Show that the positive rational numbers are countable. Solution:The positive rational numbers are countable since they can be arranged in a sequence: r 1, r 2, r 3,… The next slide shows how this is done. →

The Positive Rational Numbers are Countable Constructing the List First list p/q with p + q = 2. Next list p/q with p + q = 3 And so on. First row q = 1. Second row q = 2. etc. 1, ½, 2, 3, 1/3,1/4, 2/3, ….
