The Attempt at a Solution


I'm very new to proof-based math, and just looking for some help to get started with this one. Thanks in advance.

For this part
\sqrt{\Sum_i x_i^2} \leq \Sum_i |x_i|

it should be clear
0 \leq \sqrt{\Sum_i x_i^2}
0 \leq \leq \Sum_i |x_i|

so squaring both sides could be useful
 
I tried that and didn't get far. It seems to my the leftmost inequality is always equal. I must be thinking about it wrong. In what instance would that inequality be less than?
 
you should some cross terms like |xi||xj| on in the middle, which don't appear on the left
 
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...
