the pattern is as follows n: 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63 i: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 I need a formula for i as a function of n I am not sure how to do it. I understand how n grows and I understand how i grows and I can relate them positionally in a list but I don't know how to write i as a function of n I know we have some clever people at TL... here is a chance to show off | ||

Now find the inverse, i.e. k(n). Substitute to get i(k(n)), or i(n). edit: for example you could just say k is the position in the list, so you would have n = 2^k - 1 and i = 2k | ||

I knew there must be a way, lol | ||

I'm gonna call the first and second sequences of numbers you listed a_n and b_n, respectively. We can represent them as follows. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RI5R7ZE.gif) Solve the second equation for n. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5nIIQtm.gif) Substitute it into the first equation and solve for b_n. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vvD73XH.gif) Therefore, the final answer is this. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/iMY8WVM.gif) EDIT: Fixed. | ||

i(x) = 2x + n(x) * 0 this is a joke post and the answer above is the correct one | ||

Shannon Entropy - we also used this in Machine Learning when we had to code a decision tree learner. http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~jrl/teaching/cse599swi16/notes/lecture1.pdf Spectral graph https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse521/16sp/521-lecture-12.pdf Spectral algorithm for clustering https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse521/16sp/521-lecture-11.pdf | ||

Lets say I have a list of n elements. I analyze my elements, reduce the amount of elements by 1, then cut the elements in half. Now I have 2 lists of elements, 1 of size (n-1)/2 and the other of size n/2. I do this over and over until i am left with many lists of 2 elements (and lists of 1 elements.. but for this question we don't consider those). So the question is, how many lists did we go through in total? where n was a list at the top, n/2 and n-1/2 were lists, ((n/2)-1)/2 and (n/2)/2 were lists, etc etc all the way down to our lists of 2. Lists of 1, left over, do not count. | ||

100 2*50 4* 25 8*12 (and 4*1 which we discard) 16*6 32*3 32*2 (and 32*1 which we discard) So 95 in total? If so, approximately n/2 + n/4 + ... ~= n A precise answer is harder, because you need to know how many times you end up with an odd number of elements in your list. There's almost certainly a numerical way of figuring that out, but I'm lazy right now. | ||

Could I have some recommendations Check out the multivariable calculus course on MIT OCW. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-02sc-multivariable-calculus-fall-2010/ There's a short problem set at the end of each chapter, as well as a longer list of supplemental problems for all 4 major chapters (with solutions). | ||

I stumbled across a problem like this: What is the longest gondola that can take a right-angle turn of a Venetian canal? The width of the canal is 2, respectively 3 length units before, resp. after the turn. I apologize for my English. | ||

I think. see above, lol I expect the best way to solve this is to represent it with sums and then simplify them but I am not good enough | ||

The 6s would expand to 3, 2, right? And what would then happen? It ends there? Seems like a weird algorithm. I thought I had a simple solution, but it breaks if any list in your subdivisions has length equal to a power of 2 (that adds 1, which can occur at different points in the tree). So doesn't work, and given the weirdness of your algorithm, I'm not sure there's an easy way of figuring out how often you'll run into a power of 2. | ||

Are you interested in an exact expression or only asymptotic behaviour? The second one seems to be just on the order of n. | ||

The width of the canal is 2, respectively 3 length units before, resp. after the turn. I apologize for my English. Unless i missed something, the result is 5*sqrt(2). The gondola needs to be able fit into the diagonal of the (2+3)*(2+3) square, which has a length of 5 sqrt (2) At that point, 2sqrt(2) of the gondola is in the thinner canal, and 3sqrt(2) is in the thicker canal. It is obvious that no longer gondola could reach as far into the 3m canal if you draw a picture of the situation, and the 5sqrt(2) gondola can continue onwards from this point on. | ||
