Let R=R+. Define:

a+b = ab ; a*b = a^(lnb)

1. Is (R+, +, *) a ring?

2. If so is it commutative?

3. Does it have an identity?

Define a sequence from R as follows. Fix r > 1. Let a1 = 1 and define recursively, an+1 = (1/r) (an + r + 1). Show, by induction, that (an) is increasing and bounded above by (r+1)/(r−1) . Does the sequence converge?

(a) Let S = {a, b, ab, aba}. How many different factorizations are there of (ab)11 ? It is not enough to give me a number. You need to prove (i.e., justify or explain very carefully) that your number is correct. This is for an automated languages course

Let S = {1,2,3,4} and let A = SxS Define a relation R on A by (a,b)R(c,d) iff ad = bc Write out each equivalence class (by "write out" I mean tell me explicitly which elements of A are in each equivalence class) Hint: |A| = 16 and there are 11 equivalence classes, so there are several equivalence classes that consist of a single element of A.
