Problem 1.

$\quad$ Let $n \in \mathbf{N}$, and consider
$$
1 \cdot 1 !+2 \cdot 2 !+3 \cdot 3 !+\cdots+n \cdot n !
$$

  1. Use the $\sum$ notation to express the above expression.
  2. Find the formula for it.

$1 .$ $1 \cdot 1 !+2 \cdot 2 !+3 \cdot 3 !+\cdots+n \cdot n !=\sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k \cdot k !$

  1. In order to obtain a closed form for the sum above, we note that $k=$ $(k+1)-1$ for any $k$. Thus,
    $$
    \begin{aligned}
    1 \cdot & 1 !+2 \cdot 2 !+3 \cdot 3 !+\cdots+n \cdot n ! \
    &=(2 \cdot 1 !-1 !)+(3 \cdot 2 !-2 !)+(4 \cdot 3 !-3 !)+\cdots+((n+1) \cdot n !-n !) \
    &=(2 !-1 !)+(3 !-2 !)+(4 !-3 !)+\cdots+((n+1) !-n !) \
    &=(n+1) !-1
    \end{aligned}
    $$
    Therefore,
    $$
    \sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k \cdot k !=(n+1) !-1
    $$
Problem 2.

$\quad$ Let $n \in \mathbf{N}$, and consider
$$
\frac{1}{1 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{4 \cdot 7}+\frac{1}{7 \cdot 10}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(3 n-2) \cdot(3 n+1)} \text {. }
$$

  1. Use the $\sum$ notation to express the expression above.
  2. Find the formula for it.

$1 .$
$$
\frac{1}{1 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{4 \cdot 7}+\frac{1}{7 \cdot 10}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(3 n-2) \cdot(3 n+1)}=\sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} \frac{1}{(3 k-2) \cdot(3 k+1)}
$$

  1. In this problem we make use of the equality, for any $k, 1 \leq k \leq n$,
    $$
    \begin{aligned}
    \frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{3 k-2}-\frac{1}{3 k+1}\right) &=\frac{1}{3} \frac{3 k+1-3 k+2}{(3 k-2)(3 k+1)} \
    &=\frac{1}{(3 k-2)(3 k+1)}
    \end{aligned}
    $$

$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{1 \cdot 4} &+\frac{1}{4 \cdot 7}+\frac{1}{7 \cdot 10}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(3 n-2) \cdot(3 n+1)} \
&=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{10}\right)+\cdots+\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{3 n-2}-\frac{1}{3 n+1}\right) \
&=\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{10}+\cdots+\frac{1}{3 n-2}-\frac{1}{3 n+1}\right) \
&=\frac{1}{3}\left(1-\frac{1}{3 n+1}\right) .
\end{aligned}
$$
Therefore, the closed form expression of the sum is
$$
\sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} \frac{1}{(3 k-2) \cdot(3 k+1)}=\frac{1}{3}\left(1-\frac{1}{3 n+1}\right) .
$$

Problem 3.

Prove that
$$
\sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k(k+1)=n(n+1)(n+2) / 3
$$

Solution 7: $\quad$ Let $D_{n}=\mathbf{N}$, and ${ }^{5}$
$$
P(n)^{6}: \sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k(k+1)=\frac{1}{3} n(n+1)(n+2) .
$$

  • Inductive Basis: $\quad n=1 .$
    $$
    1 \times 2=\frac{1}{3}(1 \times 2 \times 3)
    $$
    [The Basis Holds.]
    Therefore, $P(1)=T$.
  • Inductive Hypothesis: Assume $P(n)=T$, i.e.
    $$
    \sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k(k+1)=\frac{1}{3} n(n+1)(n+2) .
    $$
  • Inductive Step: We want to prove that $P(n+1)=$ True. In other words, we want to prove that the following equality is correct:
    $$
    \begin{array}{rl}
    \sum_{1 \leq k \leq n+1} & k(k+1)=\frac{1}{3}(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) . \
    \sum_{1 \leq k \leq n+1} k(k+1) & =\left(\sum_{1 \leq k \leq n} k(k+1)\right)+(n+1)((n+1)+1) \
    & =\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3}+(n+1)(n+2) \quad[\text { by } \quad \text { IH }] \
    & =\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3}+(n+1)(n+2) \
    & =\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2)}{3} \
    & =\frac{(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)}{3} \
    & =\frac{(n+1)((n+1)+1)((n+1)+2)}{3} \
    & =\frac{1}{3}(n+1)(n+2)(n+3) .
    \end{array}
    $$
    $$
    P(n+1)=T \text {. [The Inductive Step Holds.] }
    $$
    Therefore, $\forall n \in D_{n}, P(n)$ is true.
Problem 4.

Let $\lambda$ denote the empty string. Let $A$ be any finite nonempty set. A palindrome over $A$ can be defined as a string that reads the same forward as backward. For example, “mom” and “dad” are palindromes over the set of English alphabets.
We define a set $S$ as follows:

  1. $\lambda \in S$
  2. $\forall a \in A, a \in S$
  3. $\forall a \in A \forall x \in S, a x a \in S$
  4. All the elements in $S$ must be generated by the rules above.
    Prove by structural induction that $S$ equals the set of all palindromes over $A$.

Let $A^{}$ denote the set of all possible strings made from $A$, where $\lambda \in A^{}$. Let $\mu$ range over $A^{}$, and let $|\mu|$ denote the length of $\mu$. We will prove the theorem by mathematical induction on the length of strings. Let us first define the domain and the predicate $P(n)$. $$ \begin{aligned} D_{n} &:{0,1,2,3, \ldots} \ P(n) &: \forall \mu \in A^{},[(|\mu|=n) \Rightarrow(\mu \in S \leftrightarrow \mu \text { is a palindrome })]
\end{aligned}
$$

  • Inductive Basis: $n=0$ and $n=1$.
    By the definition of $S, \lambda \in S$, and by the definition of palindrome, $\lambda$ is also a palindrome. Therefore, $P(0)=T$.
    If $|\mu|=1$, then by rule 2 any single character from $A$ is in $P$, and it is also a palindrome over $A . P(1)=T$. [The Basis Holds.]
  • Inductive Hypothesis: Let $i \in D_{n}$, and $1 \leq i$.
    Suppose if $n \leq i$, then $P(n)=T$, i.e.,
    $$
    \forall \mu \in A^{*},[(|\mu| \leq i) \Rightarrow(\mu \in S \leftrightarrow \mu \text { is a palindrome })] \text {. }
    $$
  • Inductive Step: Let $n=i+1$. Because we assume that $1 \leq i$ in the hypothesis, we have $2 \leq n$. This will simplify our discussion because, as you will see, we don’t have to consider rules 1 and 2 in the course of the inductive step. Please note that this is valid, because the cases when $n=0$ and $n=1$ were proved in the basis step.
    Let $\mu \in A^{*}$ and $|\mu|=i+1$.
  1. If $\mu \in S$, then $\mu$ must satisfy rule 3. Rules 1 and 2 are ruled out because $2 \leq|\mu|$. Thus, $\mu$ must be a string like $a \nu a$, where $a \in A$ and $\nu \in S$. We also know that $|\nu|=i-1$, and by the strong inductive hypothesis, $\nu \in S$ if and only if $\nu$ is a palindrome. Therefore, $\nu$ is a palindrome over $A$, and $a \nu a$ is also a palindrome over $A$. Therefore,
    $\mu \in S \rightarrow \mu$ is a palindrome.
  2. If $\mu$ is a palindrome over $A$ and $2 \leq|\mu|, \mu$ must be a string like $a \nu a$, where $a \in A$ and $\nu$ is a palindrome over $A$. Since $|\nu|=i-1$, and by the strong inductive hypothesis, $\nu \in S$ if and only if $\nu$ is a palindrome. Therefore, $\nu \in S$, and by rule 3 , $a \nu a \in P$. Therefore,
    $\mu$ is a palindrome $\rightarrow \mu \in S$.
    $P(i+1)=T .$
    [The Inductive Step Holds.]
  • Inductive Basis: By the definitions of $S$ and palindrome, $\lambda \in S$ and it is a palindrome. Thus, $P(\lambda)=T$. [The Basis Holds.]
  • Inductive Hypothesis: Let $s \in A^{*}$, and assume $P(s)=T$, i.e.,
    $s \in S \leftrightarrow s$ is a palindrome.
  • Inductive Step: Our task is to prove asa $\in S \leftrightarrow$ asa is a palindrome.
    We have two cases about $s$ : (1) $s \in S$, and (2) $s \notin S$.
    case $1: s \in S$. By the definition of $S, a s a \in S$. By the hypothesis, $s$ is a palindrome, and hence $a s a$ is also a palindrome. Thus,
    $$
    [\text { asa } \in S \rightarrow \text { asa is a palindrome }]=T .
    $$
    case 2: $s \notin S$. By the definition of $S$, asa $\notin S$. By the hypothesis, $s$ is not a palindrome, and hence $a s a$ is not a palindrome. Thus,
    $$
    [\text { asa } \notin S \rightarrow \text { asa is not a palindrome }]=T .
    $$
    By contrapositive, we have
    $$
    [\text { asa is a palindrome } \rightarrow \text { asa } \in S]=T \text {. }
    $$
    Together, we have $a s a \in S \leftrightarrow a s a$ is a palindrome.
    [The Inductive Step Holds.]

“Suppose aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year’s time unless human beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the world’s best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate the value. If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however, we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack.”
Paul Erdős  – as quoted in “Ramsey Theory” by Ronald L. Graham and Joel H. Spencer, in Scientific American (July 1990), p. 112-117
