Study Notes

Chapter 1: Basic Structures

Covers fundamental aspects of discrete mathematics: sets, functions, sequences, summations, and matrices.

Sequences: Definition

Finite Sequence: Has a definite last number (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14).
Infinite Sequence: Continues indefinitely without a last number, denoted by ellipsis (e.g., 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, …).

Sequence Types

Geometric Progression: Each term is multiplied by a constant (common ratio). Example: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, where the common ratio ( r = 2 ).
Arithmetic Progression: Each term is added by a constant (common difference). Example: 11, 7, 3, -1, -5, -9, with a common difference of -4.

Strings

Used to represent sequences of characters in discrete mathematics.

Recurrence Relation

A relation that defines the terms of a sequence using previous terms, commonly used in Fibonacci sequences.

Exercises: Sequences

Evaluating functions for sequences, e.g., ( f(n) = 5n ) produces a finite sequence ( f = (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) ) and ordered pairs ( (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15), (4, 20), (5, 25) ).
Next terms in various sequences, such as identifying patterns or common differences to determine subsequent values.

Arithmetic Sequence Example

Given first element 14 and second element 9, the 20th element ( a_{20} ) is calculated using the common difference ( d = -5 ) resulting in ( a_{20} = -81 ).

Summations

Represents the total of a series of numbers and can be expressed in sigma notation.
Example forms:
- Summation of even numbers: ( \sum_{j=1}^{6} 2j )
- Summation of odd numbers: ( \sum_{j=1}^{5} (2j - 1) )
- Alternating series with powers of ( x ): ( \sum_{j=1}^{n} (-1)^{j-1} x^{2j} )

Exercises: Summations

Convert expressions to expanded form and find their sums, emphasizing series analysis and computation strategies.

Chapter 1: Basic Structures

Covers fundamental concepts: sets, functions, sequences, summations, and matrices.

Matrices

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.

Matrix Arithmetic - Sum

Matrices can only be added if they have the same dimensions (same number of rows and columns).
The sum is obtained by adding corresponding elements.

Matrix Arithmetic - Product

The product of two matrices is defined when the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second.
Matrix multiplication is not defined if these conditions are not met.

Transposes and Powers of Matrices

Multiplying by an identity matrix maintains the original matrix's value.
Symmetric matrices are square matrices that remain unchanged when reflected across their main diagonal.

Symmetric Matrices

A matrix is symmetric if 𝑎𝑖𝑗 = 𝑎𝑗𝑖 for all i and j.
Matrix examples provided, helping to distinguish symmetric from asymmetric.

Zero-One Matrices

A zero-one matrix contains only entries of 0 or 1.
Utilized in algorithms based on Boolean arithmetic – operations defined as ∧ (AND) and ∨ (OR).

Boolean Product

The Boolean product of two matrices substitutes addition with the OR operation and multiplication with the AND operation.

Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix

To find the inverse:
- Exchange the elements of the main diagonal.
- Change the sign of the off-diagonal elements.
- Divide by the determinant.

Practice Exercises

Exercises include calculations for sums and products of matrices, reinforcing the concepts learned.

Chapter 1: Basic Structures

Main topics include Sets, Functions, Sequences and Summations, and Matrices.

Matrices

Denoted as ( a_{ij} ), where ( i ) represents row number and ( j ) represents column number.

Matrix Arithmetic - Sum

The sum of matrices occurs element-wise for matrices of the same size.
Matrices with differing dimensions cannot be added.

Matrix Arithmetic - Product

The product of two matrices ( A ) and ( B ) is defined when the number of columns in ( A ) equals the number of rows in ( B ).
Non-compliant dimensions make matrix multiplication undefined.

Transposes and Powers of Matrices

Multiplication by an identity matrix does not alter the original matrix.
A matrix is symmetric if it is a square matrix and symmetric about its main diagonal.

Symmetric Matrices

Example matrices provided for evaluating symmetry:
- Matrix A:
  - ( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & -2 \ 1 & 1 & 3 \ 3 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} )
- Matrix B:
  - ( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & -1 \ 3 & -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} )

Zero-One Matrices

Defined as matrices containing only 0s and 1s.
Utilized in algorithms based on Boolean arithmetic.
Operations use AND (( \land )) and OR (( \lor )) instead of traditional arithmetic.

Boolean Product of Zero-One Matrices

The Boolean product combines matrices by utilizing logical operations:
- And replaces multiplication,
- Or replaces addition.

Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix

To find the inverse, swap the elements of the main diagonal and change the signs of the off-diagonal elements.
The resulting matrix is divided by the determinant.

Practice Exercises

Students are encouraged to find sums and products of given matrices, as well as solve equations involving matrices.
