1 Mathematical Iductio c:9 Chapter 4 Hatao Zhag How do you program a robot to climb ifiite stairs? First, you let the robot get to the base platform of the staircase The repeat: From the curret positio, let the robot to move oe step up Let s use that as a proof method First, show P(x) is true for x0 This is the base of the stairs The, show that if it s true for some value, the it is true for + Show: P() P(+) This is climbig the stairs Let 0. Sice it s true for P(0) (base case), it s true for Let. Sice it s true for P() (previous bullet), it s true for Let. Sice it s true for P() (previous bullet), it s true for 3 Let 3 Ad owards to ifiity Thus,wehaveshowittobetrueforall o-egative umbers 3
2 What is iductio? A method of proof It does ot geerate aswers: it oly ca prove them Three parts: Base case(s): show it is true for oe elemet (get to the stair s base platform) Iductive hypothesis: assume it is true for ay give elemet (assume you are o a stair) Must be clearly labeled!!! Show that if it true for the ext higher elemet (show you ca move to the ext stair) 4 Iductio example Show that the sum of the first odd itegers is Example:If 5, Formally, show: P( ) where P( ) Base case: Show that P() is true P() ( i) i 5 Iductio example, cotiued Iductive hypothesis: assume true for Thus, we assume that P() is true, or that i Note: we do t yet ow if this is true or ot! Iductive step: show true for + We wat to show that: + i ( + )
3 Iductio example, cotiued Recall the iductive hypothesis: Proof of iductive step: + ( + ) + i i ( + ) + + ( + ) i 7 What did we show Base case: P() If P() was true, the P(+) is true i.e., P() P(+) We ow it s true for P() Because of P() P(+), if it s true for P(), the it s true for P() Because of P() P(+), if it s true for P(), the it s true for P(3) Because of P() P(+), if it s true for P(3), the it s true for P(4) Because of P() P(+), if it s true for P(4), the it s true for P(5) Ad owards to ifiity Thus, it is true for all possible values of I other words, we showed that: [ P( ) ( P( ) P( + ) )] P( ) 8 The idea behid iductive proofs Show the base case Show the iductive hypothesis Maipulate the iductive step so that you ca substitute t i part of the iductive hypothesis Show the iductive step 9 3

5 Notes o proofs by iductio We maipulate the + case to mae part of it loo lie the case We the replace that part with the other side of the case P( ) i + + ( + ) + i ( + ) + + i ( + ) + + ( + ) + + ( + ) Third iductio example Show ( + )( + ) i Base case: ( + )( + ) i i Iductive hypothesis: assume ( + )( + ) i 4 Third iductio example Iductive step: show 3 + ( + ) + i + ( + )(( + ) + )(( + ) + ) i ( + )(( + ) + )(( + ) + ) i ( + )( + )( + ( + )( + ) ( + )( + )( ( + ) + + ( + ) + ( + )( + ) ( + )( + )( + 3) ) 3) ( + )( + 5 i ) 5
