Order by asymptotic growth rate
Homework Statement I try to order given functions and I am stuck with evaluating the following: f(n)= (n+1)! and g(n)=n^{logn} Homework Equations \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(n)}{g(n)} = 0 then g(n) is faster growing. \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{f(n)}{g(n)} = \infty then f(n) is...- dba

How can I write a Fibonacci sequence using summation notation?
Homework Statement I have trouble with the summation notation. \sum_{i=0}^{k}\binom{k}{i}f_{n+i} How do I write this as a sequence based on the definition of Fibonacci sequence? Homework Equations Definition: f(0)=0 f(1)=1 f(n)=f(n-1) + f(n-2) for n>=2 Example: f(2) = f(1) +...- dba

Is Big-O Notation Symmetric for f(n) and g(n)?
Yes, I see it. i did write is good on my paper. soory about that. How would I express a referal to the first part with f and g reversed. Something like: since f(n)=O(g(n)) implies that g(n)=Ω(f(n)) we can say that g(n)=O(f(n)) implies that f(n)=Ω(g(n)) ? Thank you very much for your help!- dba

Is Big-O Notation Symmetric for f(n) and g(n)?
Is this proof correct? f(n)=O(g(n)) \Leftrightarrow g(n)=Ω(f(n)) LHS → f(n)=O(g(n))→ f(n) ≤ c*g(n) → (1/c)*f(n) ≤ g(n) → g(n) ≥ (1/c)f(n) where d=1/c → g(n) = Ω(g(n)) → RHS RHS → g(n)= Ω (f(n))→ g(n) ≥ d*f(n) →(1/d)*g(n) ≥ f(n) → f(n) ≤ (1/d)g(n) where c=1/d → f(n) = O (f(n)) → LHS...- dba

Is Big-O Notation Symmetric for f(n) and g(n)?
mmmh. Ok the problem states: prove that the notation is symmetric: for any function f,g,h:N→R>=0 if f(n)=θ(g(n)) then g(n) = θ(f(n)) So, I looked at the definition of Big Theta which is if d*f(n) <= t(n) <= c*f(n) then t(n)=θ(f(n)) Thus, both conditions need to be true: t(n) <=...- dba

Transformers: Uniform magnetic filed in relation to current flow
That is exactly what I do not understand. I do not know how to imagine a direction of a change. As I mentioned in the beginning, I would assume if my B goes to zero, then the flus will be zero and the current will be zero. therefore there would't be a direction.- dba

Transformers: Uniform magnetic filed in relation to current flow
Can you explain a little better what you mean by the direction of the change in the flux? For the problem, there are no numbers. There is a vertical loop and the direction of the field is to the right. The flux is the integral of B*A since B and da are parallel and A is pi*r^2. Thanks!.- dba

Potentiometer to measure cell voltage
Any potential from 0 to 0.72 Volt which is smaller than the voltage of the battery of 1.5 Volt. And Vab has to be equal to the battery voltage to allow the current to be zero. Is that correct? is that the reason why I could not find the null current?- dba
