3. Let S3 act on the set A={(i,j) : 1≤i,j≤3} by σ((i, j)) =
(σ(i), σ(j)).
(a) Describe the orbits of this action.
(b) Show this is a faithful action, i.e. that the permutation
represen- tation φ:S3 →SA =S9
(c) For each σ ∈ S3, find the cycle decomposition of φ(σ) in
S9.
def longest(string):
start=0;end=1;i=0;
while i<len(string):
j=i+1
while j<len(string) and string[j]>string[j-1]:
j+=1
if end-start<j-i:
#update if current string has greater length than
#max start and end
end=j
start=i
i=j;
avg=0
for i in string[start:end]:
avg+=int(i)
print('The longest string in ascending order is',string[start:end])
print('Teh average is',avg/(end-start))
s=input('Enter a string')
longest(s)
i need a definition and explanation of this code that how it
works?
6.1.5. Problem. Let J be the open unit interval (0, 1). For
each a let Ua = ?a, a + 1 ?, and let
U = {Ua : 0 ≤ a ≤ 34 }. Then certainly U covers J .
(a) Find a finite subfamily of U which covers J.
(b) Explain why a solution to (a) does not suffice to show
that J is compact.
(c) Show that J is not compact.
Let a, b, c ∈ Q, (a, b) /= (0, 0), and consider the line L =
{(x, y) ∈ R2 ; ax + by = c}. State and prove a criterion in terms
of the data a, b, c ∈ Q to check whether L∩Z2 = ∅, i.e., the line
passes through no point with integer coordinates in the plane. Give
an explicit example of such a line that is neither parallel to the
x-axis nor to the y-axis!
Theory of Computation Problem
Let G be an arbitrary CFG (Context-free Grammer), and
let DG be the string-pushing
PDA(pushdown automata) for it. Let w be
some string of length n in L(G).
Suppose you know that the leftmost derivation of
w in G consists of m
substitutions. How many transitions would be in the corresponding
computation of DG for input string
w? Justify your answer
carefully.
