چکیده
(For convenience, we define F0 = 0; with this definition, the recurrence relation Fn = Fn−1 + Fn−2 holds for all n ≥ 2 and the above matrix is well defined for all n ≥ 1.) Base case: When n = 1, the four entries of the matrix on the right are F2 = 1, F1 = 1, F1 = 1, and F0 = 0, so (∗) holds in this case. Induction step: Let k ∈ N be given and suppose (∗) holds for n = k. Then ( 1 1 1 0 )k+1 = ( 1 1 1 0 )k ( 1 1 1 0 )

Math 347 Worksheet : Induction Proofs , I — Solutions
1. Induction proofs, type I: Sum/product formulas: The most common, and the easiest, application of induction is to prove formulas for sums or products of n terms. All of these proofs follow the same pattern. (a) ∑n i=1 i(i+ 1) = n(n+1)(n+2) 3 (b) ∑n i=0 2 i = 2n+1 − 1 (sum of powers of 2) (c) ∑n i=0 r i = 1−r n+1 1−r (r 6= 1) (sum of finite geometric series) (d) ∑n i=0 i!i = (n+ 1)!− 1. Soluti...
متن کاملA note on approximation conditions, standard triangularizability and a power set topology
The main result of this article is that for collections of entry-wise non-negative matrices the property of possessing a standard triangularization is stable under approximation. The methodology introduced to prove this result allows us to offer quick proofs of the corresponding results of [B. R. Yahaghi, Near triangularizability implies triangularizability, Canad. Math. Bull. 47, (2004), no. 2...
متن کاملMATH 323 DISCRETE MATHEMATICS, Handout 2 Mathematical proof, especially proof by induction
In this handout, we discuss two fundamental techniques of mathematical argument which will be used frequently in the course: proof by contradiction, which is fairly straightforward, and proof by mathematical induction, which is a little more subtle. We give some illustrative applications to graph theory. We shall also give an appendix concerning some subtleties behind the notion of mathematical...
متن کاملThe Number of Solutions Sufficient for Solving a Family of Problems
This paper deals with families of optimization problems defined over a common set of potential solutions. We consider several problems-solutions systems, and for each one, prove the existence of a small set of solutions that contains an optimal solution to every problem. These proofs are mostly algebraic in nature. The families of problems covered here mostly include separation problems, proble...
متن کاملOn monotonicity in parametric linear complementarity problems
This paper generalizes the answers that were given by R.W. Cottle to questions that were originally raised by G. Maier. Essentially, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for some notions of monotonicity of solutions for the parametric linear complementarity problem. Our proofs are direct ones and not algorithmic, as Cottle's proofs are, and also cover a broader class of matrices.
