Asymptotic behaviour of recurrence












3















In DNA chain, there are four types of bases: A, C, G, T. Let $g(n)$ be the number of configurations of a DNA chain of length $n$, in which the sequences TT and TG never appear. Write a recurrence for $g(n)$. Determine the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence. Also, prove whether this rate of growth is $o(n^{ n^{1/2}}), Theta(n^{ n^{1/2}}),$ or $Omega(n^{ n^{1/2}})$.




My answer:
$g(n)=A(n)+C(n)+G(n)+T(n)$



$g(n)=g(n-1)+g(n-1)+g(n-1)+A(n-1)+C(n-1)$



$g(n)=3g(n-1)+2g(n-2)$



After solving this recurrence, we get



$$begin{align}
g(n) &= (frac{(4)(17)^{1/2}+16}{(3)(17)^{1/2}+17})(frac{3+(17)^{1/2})}{2})^n \
&+(frac{(17)^{1/2}-5)}{2(17)^{1/2}})(frac{3-(17)^{1/2}}{2})^n
end{align}$$



Therefore when $n$ is large, $(frac{3-(17)^{1/2})}{2})^n$ become smaller and smaller
So we can write $$g(n) = Theta((frac{3+(17)^{1/2})}{2})^n).$$



(Do I determine the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence correctly?)



But I do not know what is the rate of growth, if we take the limit of $frac{g(n)}{n^{ n^{1/2}}}$,where n tend to infinity, it seems impossible to calculate it. How could I determine the rate of growth?

  • The exercise is strange because it has a much simpler solution. Namely, note that the total number of configurations is $4^n$ hence $g(n)leqslant4^n$. Since $4^n=o(n^{sqrt n})$, you are done.

You solved the recurrence and found its asymptotic behavior correctly. The growth is $c^n$, where $c=frac12(3+sqrt{17})$, and you are asked how this compares with $n^{n^{1/2}}$. The latter is faster: to see this, take logs of both, and note that
$$
(log c)n=oBig(n^{1/2}log nBig)
$$

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
