Prove that $O(3^{2n}) subseteq O(2^{3n})$












-1












$begingroup$


I need to prove that $O(3^{2n}) subseteq O(2^{3n})$. So far I have made this solution:



I)Lets assume that this is true, and that there $ exists space c in mathbb{R}^+ $ such as $$3^{2n} leq 2^{3n} * c$$



II) therefore this fraction must be greater or equal as $1$



$$frac{c*2^{3n}}{3^{2n}} geq 1$$



III) lets look on $$lim_{ntoinfty} frac{c*2^{3n}}{3^{2n}}=(frac{8}{9})^n=0$$ since the limit is equal to $0$ there occurs an conflict that shows us that II) can not ever be greater or equal as $1$. Is my solution correct? Any help is appreciated.

This is false.



Suppose it holds: then, since obviously $3^{2n} in O(3^{2n}) subseteq O(2^{3n}) implies 3^{2n} in O(2^{3n})$, $lim_{n to infty}, sup |frac{9}{8}|^n < infty$, which obviously does not hold.

    More generally,
    when is
    $a^{bn} subseteq c^{dn}$?



    $a^{bn}
    =(e^{ln(a)})^{bn}
    =e^{ln(a)b n}
    =(e^n)^{ln(a)b }
    =(e^n)^{ln(a^b) }
    $
    .



    Therefore
    $a^{bn} subseteq c^{dn}
    iff ln(a^b) le ln(c^d)
    iff a^b le c^d
    $
    .



    Putting
    $a=3, b=2, c=2, d=3$,
    this is true
    iff
    $3^2 le 2^3$,
    which is false.



    For the case
    $c=b, d=a$,
    i.e.,
    when is
    $a^{bn} subseteq b^{an}
    $
    ,
    this is the old problem
    of when
    $a^b le b^a$,
    or
    $a^{1/a} le b^{1/b}$.



    It is well known that
    this is true when
    $e le b lt a$.



    The case
    $a < e < b$
    is trickier.
    I have a result that shows
    this is decided if
    $ab > e^2$
    but I can't find it right now.
    I'll add to this if
    I find it.

                  or
                  $a^{1/a} le b^{1/b}$.



                  It is well known that
                  this is true when
                  $e le b lt a$.



                  The case
                  $a < e < b$
                  is trickier.
                  I have a result that shows
                  this is decided if
                  $ab > e^2$
                  but I can't find it right now.
                  I'll add to this if
                  I find it.

                  More generally,
                  when is
                  $a^{bn} subseteq c^{dn}$?



                  $a^{bn}
                  =(e^{ln(a)})^{bn}
                  =e^{ln(a)b n}
                  =(e^n)^{ln(a)b }
                  =(e^n)^{ln(a^b) }
                  $
                  .



                  Therefore
                  $a^{bn} subseteq c^{dn}
                  iff ln(a^b) le ln(c^d)
                  iff a^b le c^d
                  $
                  .



                  Putting
                  $a=3, b=2, c=2, d=3$,
                  this is true
                  iff
                  $3^2 le 2^3$,
                  which is false.



                  For the case
                  $c=b, d=a$,
                  i.e.,
                  when is
                  $a^{bn} subseteq b^{an}
                  $
                  ,
                  this is the old problem
                  of when
                  $a^b le b^a$,
                  or
                  $a^{1/a} le b^{1/b}$.



                  It is well known that
                  this is true when
                  $e le b lt a$.



                  The case
                  $a < e < b$
                  is trickier.
                  I have a result that shows
                  this is decided if
                  $ab > e^2$
                  but I can't find it right now.
                  I'll add to this if
                  I find it.
