Let τ (n) denote the number of positive divisors of n and σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n (as in the notes).

(a) Evaluate τ (1500) and σ(8!).

(b) Verify that τ (n) = τ (n + 1) = τ (n + 2) = τ (n + 3) holds for n = 3655 and 4503.

(The “conjugation rewrite lemma”.) Let σ and τ be permutations. (a) Show that if σ maps x to y then στ maps τ(x) to τ(y). (b) Suppose that σ is a product of disjoint cycles. Show that στ has the same cycle structure as σ; indeed, wherever (... x y ...) occurs in σ, (... τ(x) τ(y) ...) occurs in στ.

Prime Sum C program !! Dynamically allocated memory Let P(n) denote the sum of the first n prime numbers. For example, P(1) = 2 and P(3) = 10, since the first three prime numbers are 2, 3 and 5, respectively. Write a program to determine the value of the function P(n) for different values of n. The first few prime sums are 2, 5, 10, 17, 28, 41, 58 and 77. Input The first line of the input file contains...

Let An = {ai} n i=1 denote a list of n distinct positive integers. The median mA of An is a value in An such that half the elements in An are less than m (and so, the other half are greater than or equal m). In fact, the median element is said to have a middle rank. (a) Develop an algorithm that uses Sorting to return mA given An. (6%) (b) Now assume that one is given another list...
