Question

For the first four problems, x represents the first letter of your last name, and y represents the first letter of your first name. If the first letter of your first name is the same as the first letter of your last name, use the last letter of your last name for x and the first letter of your first name for y. I have checked your names in the student records system.

Step 1

If the first letter of your last name is different from the first letter of your first name: - Let's say your last name starts with the letter "L" and your first name starts with the letter "M". - In this case, x would be "L" and y would be "M". Show more…

a-coding-system-encodes-messages-using-strings-of-base-4-digits-that-is-digits-from-the-set-0123-a-c

A coding system encodes messages using strings of base 4 digits (that is, digits from the set $\{0,1,2,3\} )$ . A codeword is valid if and only if it contains an even number of 0 $\mathrm{s}$ an even number of 1 $\mathrm{s}$ . Let $a_{n}$ equal the number of valid codewords of length $n .$ Furthermore, let $b_{n}, c_{n},$ and $d_{n}$ equal the number of strings of base 4 digits of length $n$ with an even number of 0 $\mathrm{s}$ and an odd number of $1 \mathrm{s},$ with an odd number of 0 $\mathrm{s}$ and an even number of $1 \mathrm{s},$ and with an odd number of 0 $\mathrm{s}$ and an odd number of 1 $\mathrm{s}$ , respectively. a) Show that $d_{n}=4^{n}-a_{n}-b_{n}-c_{n}$ . Use this to show that $a_{n+1}=2 a_{n}+b_{n}+c_{n}, b_{n+1}=b_{n}-c_{n}+4^{n},$ and $c_{n+1}=c_{n}-b_{n}+4^{n} .$ b) What are $a_{1}, b_{1}, c_{1},$ and $d_{1} ?$ c) Use parts (a) and (b) to find $a_{3}, b_{3}, c_{3},$ and $d_{3}$ d) Use the recurrence relations in part (a), together with the initial conditions in part (b), to set up three equa- tions relating the generating functions $A(x), B(x),$ and $C(x)$ for the sequences $\left\{a_{n}\right\},\left\{b_{n}\right\},$ and $\left\{c_{n}\right\},$ respec- tively. e) Solve the system of equations from part (d) to get ex- plicit formulae for $A(x), B(x),$ and $C(x)$ and use these to get explicit formulae for $a_{n}, b_{n}, c_{n},$ and $d_{n}$

Implement a dynamic programming algorithm that solves optimally the expression puzzle problem. Given a set of digits 𝑆 = {𝑆1, ..., Sk} and an integer 𝑁, the expression puzzle problem is finding a string consisting of characters from 𝑆 (you can repeat a character as many times as you need) and the special symbols "+" and "*" (also you can repeat them as many times as you need) such that an arithmetic evaluation of the resulting expression yields the number N. For example, if 𝑆 = {2, 9}, N=229 can be obtained by creating a string by concatenating the digits 2, 2 again followed by 9: "229". N= 11 can be obtained by the string "2+9", N =49 can be obtain using the string "9+2*9+22", etc. An optimal solution is a solution that has minimal character length (i.e. any other solution string has more or equal number of characters). For example, for N=22, both "2*9+2+2" and "22" are valid puzzle solution, but only the latter is optimal. Note that for some puzzles many optimal solutions may exist, and some other puzzles may have no valid solution. Specifications The input is specified in a file whose name is the first argument of the program. The first line contains an integer M specifying how many datasets are in the file. The reminder of the file encodes the datasets. Each dataset is encoded in one line. It starts with an integer K that indicates how many elements are in the set S, followed by the actual digits in S (you can assume that the digits do not repeat). The last number in the line is the integer number N. Note that K, {𝑆1, ..., Sk} and N are separated by spaces. N<20000. Here is an example: 6 2 2 9 229 2 2 9 11 2 2 9 729 2 2 9 49 3 1 4 7 21 2 4 7 6 The output is a file called whose name is the second argument of the program. Each line encodes the results of each test case. If a solution exists, the algorithm should output the length of the optimal sequence of the puzzle. If none solution exists, the program should output the character "N". For example, the output corresponding to the input above is as follows: 3 3 5 8 4 2 N You have to implement your program in plain C/C++ in a file called main.cpp that has no dependency other than the standard C/C++ libraries available in a standard Linux system. The code should compile using the command g++ main.cpp on any machine.

Give a recursive definition of the set of positive integers that end with the digit 7. Describe the strings in the set S of strings over the alphabet Σ = {a, b, c} defined recursively by (1) c ∈ S and (2) if x ∈ S then xa ∈ S and xb ∈ S and cx ∈ S. Hint: Your description should be a sentence that provides an easy test to check if a given string is in the set or not. An example of such a description is: S consists of all strings of a's, b's, and c's, with more a's than b's. That isn't a correct description since cab is in S and doesn't have more a's than b's, and also baac isn't in S, but does have more a's than b's. So that attempted description is really terrible. The best way to do this problem is to use the rules to build a bunch of strings in S until a suitable description becomes obvious. (bonus) A set S of ordered pairs of integers is defined recursively by (1) (1, 2) ∈ S and (2, 1) ∈ S, and (2) if (m, n) ∈ S, then (m + 2, n) ∈ S, and (m, n + 2) ∈ S, and (m + 1, n + 1) ∈ S. There is a simple description of the ordered pairs in S. What is it? Your description should be good enough so that you can instantly decide if (12236, 912242) is in S.
