Finding Values of Complex Equation

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a complex equation by rewriting it as e^(i+1)(log(1-i)-log(√2)). The user breaks down the components, calculating e^(i+1) using Euler's formula, resulting in e^1(cos(1)+isin(1)). For log(1-i), they derive ln√2 + i(-(π/4)+2kπ). The user seeks clarification on whether to combine these results directly or to apply the FOIL method to the exponent first. The conversation highlights the complexities of manipulating logarithmic and exponential forms in complex analysis.

Homework Statement
Find the values of ((1-i)/sqrt(2)) ^ (i+1)
Relevant Equations
((1-i)/sqrt(2)) ^ (i+1)
I took the equation and rewrote it as: e(i+1)(log(1-i)-log(√2)).

So I worked on it in sections meaning e(i+1) and then log(1-i).

For e(i+1) I got eie1 and used Euler's formula for ei to get: e1(cos(1)+isin(1)).

And then for log(1-i) I got ln√2 + i(-(π/4)+2kπ).

Do I just bring them together now? Or would I first FOIL the exponent at the very beginning as in this part "(i+1)(log(1-i)-log(√2))"? Any help would be appreciated thank you!

I take it
[e^{-\frac{\pi i}{4}}]^1 [e^{-\frac{\pi i}{4}}]^i
Does this work ?
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
