Recognizing partitions - sets of strings.

(b) Let A be the set of words in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). For each positive integer j, define Aj to be the set of all words with j letters in the OED. For example, the word "discrete" is an element of A8 because the word "discrete" has 8 letters. The longest word in the OED is "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" which has 45 letters. You can assume that for any integer i in the range 1 through 45, there is at least one word in the OED that has i letters. Do the sets A1, …, A45 form a partition of the set of words in the OED?

(don't give explanation with reflexive, symmetric and transitive because we haven't learn it yet)

Recall that the set {0,1}∗ is the set of all finite-length binary strings. Let f:{0,1}∗→{0,1}∗ to be f(x1x2…xk)=x2x3…xkx1. That is, f takes the first bit of a string x and moves it to the end of x, so for example a string 100becomes 001; if |x|≤1, then f(x)=x Also, suppose that g:{0,1}∗→{0,1}∗ is a function such that g(x1…xk)=0x1…xk (that is, gg puts an extra 0 in front of the given string, so for example g(100)=0100. Everywhere in this question we...
