17 COMP 170 L2 Recurrence l Recurrence/recurrence equation is a way to specify functions on the set of integers l It tells us how to n get the n-th value f(n) n from the first n-b values: f(b), f(b+1), …, f(n-1) l Need to give the value for the base case f(b) to complete the description Page 17

18 COMP 170 L2 Number of subsets l S(n): number of subsets of set {1, 2, 3, …., n} of size n l Question: n How to compute S(n) from S(n-1), S(n-2), …? l Consider the case: n=3 n First row: subsets of {1, 2} n Second: subsets of {1, 2}, each adjoined by 3 n So: S(3) = 2 S(2) Page 18

19 COMP 170 L2 Number of Subsets l In general, subsets of set {1, 2, 3, …., n} can be divided into two groups n subsets of set {1, 2, 3, …., n-1} n subsets of set {1, 2, 3, …., n-1}, each adjoined by n. n So: S(n) = 2 S(n-1) l Base case: n S(0) =1 Page 19
