Computer Science 250 - Project 4 Recursive Exponentiation in MIPS Computer Science 250 - Project 4 Recursive Exponentiation in MIPS Due: Fri. Dec. 6, at the beginning of class The end of this handout contains a C program that prompts the user to enter two non-negative numbers, and than raises the first number to the power of the second using the recursive definition of exponentiation that we discussed in class. The program uses only C operations that correspond to MIPS instructions that we are familiar with. Translate this program into a MIPS assembly language program that does the same thing. Here is the recursive definition of exponentiation you will be implement- ing. 8 1 b = 0 > b < b b a = a 2 · a 2 b even > b−1 b−1 :> a · a 2 · a 2 b odd Follow these implementation guidelines: • Write a MIPS procedure for each C-function. • Local variables are unchanged by function calls, so you should store any values that correspond to local variables in $s-registers. • Create an activation record for each function, if the function needs to spill preserved registers. What to turn in: When you are ready to turn your program in, send me an email with your assembler source code as an attachment. The subject of your email message should be <Lastname> - <Section Number> - CS 250 - Project 4. Then, print out a copy of the source to submit in class. 1 /* Prompt user for two non-negative integers.

  • Chapter 3 Induction and Recursion
    Chapter 3 Induction and Recursion 3.1 Induction: An informal introduction This section is intended as a somewhat informal introduction to The Principle of Mathematical Induction (PMI): a theorem that establishes the validity of the proof method which goes by the same name. There is a particular format for writing the proofs which makes it clear that PMI is being used. We will not explicitly use this format when introducing the method, but will do so for the large number of different examples given later. Suppose you are given a large supply of L-shaped tiles as shown on the left of the figure below. The question you are asked to answer is whether these tiles can be used to exactly cover the squares of an 2n × 2n punctured grid { a 2n × 2n grid that has had one square cut out { say the 8 × 8 example shown in the right of the figure. 1 2 CHAPTER 3. INDUCTION AND RECURSION In order for this to be possible at all, the number of squares in the punctured grid has to be a multiple of three. It is. The number of squares is 2n2n − 1 = 22n − 1 = 4n − 1 ≡ 1n − 1 ≡ 0 (mod 3): But that does not mean we can tile the punctured grid. In order to get some traction on what to do, let's try some small examples. The tiling is easy to find if n = 1 because 2 × 2 punctured grid is exactly covered by one tile. Let's try n = 2, so that our punctured grid is 4 × 4.

  • Recursive Definitions and Structural Induction 1 Recursive Definitions
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology Course Notes 6 6.042J/18.062J, Fall ’02: Mathematics for Computer Science Professor Albert Meyer and Dr. Radhika Nagpal Recursive Definitions and Structural Induction 1 Recursive Definitions Recursive definitions say how to build something from a simpler version of the same thing. They have two parts: • Base case(s) that don’t depend on anything else. • Combination case(s) that depend on simpler cases. Here are some examples of recursive definitions: Example 1.1. Define a set, E, recursively as follows: 1. 0 E, 2 2. if n E, then n + 2 E, 2 2 3. if n E, then n E. 2 − 2 Using this definition, we can see that since 0 E by 1., it follows from 2. that 0 + 2 = 2 E, and 2 2 so 2 + 2 = 4 E, 4 + 2 = 6 E, : : : , and in fact any nonegative even number is in E. Also, by 3., 2 2 2; 4; 6; E. − − − · · · 2 Is anything else in E? The definition doesn’t say so explicitly, but an implicit condition on a recursive definition is that the only way things get into E is as a consequence of 1., 2., and 3. So clearly E is exactly the set of even integers. Example 1.2. Define a set, S, of strings of a’s and b’s recursively as follows: 1. λ S, where λ is the empty string, 2 2. if x S, then axb S, 2 2 3. if x S, then bxa S, 2 2 4. if x; y S, then xy S.

  • Arxiv:1410.2193V1 [Math.CO] 8 Oct 2014 There Are No Coincidences
    There are no Coincidences Tanya Khovanova October 21, 2018 Abstract This paper is inspired by a seqfan post by Jeremy Gardiner. The post listed nine sequences with similar parities. In this paper I prove that the similarities are not a coincidence but a mathematical fact. 1 Introduction Do you use your Inbox as your implicit to-do list? I do. I delete spam and cute cats. I reply, if I can. I deal with emails related to my job. But sometimes I get a message that requires some thought or some serious time to process. It sits in my Inbox. There are 200 messages there now. This method creates a lot of stress. But this paper is not about stress management. Let me get back on track. I was trying to shrink this list and discovered an email I had completely forgotten about. The email was sent in December 2008 to the seqfan list by Jeremy Gardiner [1]. The email starts: arXiv:1410.2193v1 [math.CO] 8 Oct 2014 It strikes me as an interesting coincidence that the following se- quences appear to have the same underlying parity. Then he lists six sequences with the same parity: • A128975 The number of unordered three-heap P-positions in Nim. • A102393, A wicked evil sequence. • A029886, Convolution of the Thue-Morse sequence with itself. 1 • A092524, Binary representation of n interpreted in base p, where p is the smallest prime factor of n. • A104258, Replace 2i with ni in the binary representation of n. n • A061297, a(n)= Pr=0 lcm(n, n−1, n−2,...,n−r+1)/ lcm(1, 2, 3,...,r).

    Math 280 Incompleteness 1. Definability, Representability and Recursion We will work with the language of arithmetic: 0_; S;_ +_ ; ·_; <_ . We will be sloppy and won't write dots. When we say \formula,"\satisfaction,"\proof,"everything will refer to this language. We will use the standard model of arithmetic N = (!; 0; S; +; ·; <). 1.1 Definition: (i) A bounded existential quantification is a quantification of the form (9z)(z < x ^ φ) which we will abbreviate by (9z < x)φ. (ii) A bounded universal quantification has the form (8z)(z < x ! φ) which we will abbreviate by (8z < x)φ. 1.2 Fact: The formulae (8z < x)φ $ :(9z < x):φ (9z < x)φ $ :(8z < x):φ are provable in predicate calculus. Proof: Exercise. 1.3 Definition: (i) A formula is bounded iff all definitions of this formula are bounded. We also say “Σ0"or “∆0"for bounded. (ii) A formula is Σn iff it has the form (9x1; :::; x1 )(8x2; :::; x2 )(9x3; :::; x3 ) ··· (Q(xn; :::; xn )) 1 l1 1 l2 1 l3 1 ln where is bounded. (iii) Πn formulae are defined dually. Here we start with a block of universal quantifiers. (iv) So Σn and Πn can be defined inductively: φ is Σn+1 iff φ has the form (9x1) ··· (9xl) where is Πn. Dually for Πn+1. 1.4 Definition: n A relation R(x1; :::; xn) ⊆ ( N) is Σl−definable iff R has a Σl−definition over N i.e. iff there is a Σl n formula φ(x1; :::; xl) such that for all a1; :::; an 2 ( N), R(a1; :::; an) iff N φ[a1; :::; an]: Similarly: R is Πl iff it has a Πl definition over N.

  • Chapt. 3.1 Recursive Definition
    Chapt. 3.1 Recursive Definition Reading: 3.1 Next Class: 3.2 1 Motivations Proofs by induction allow to prove properties of infinite, partially ordered sets of objects. In many cases the order is only given implicitly and we have to find it and write it explicitly in terms of the indices. In the inductive step in these proofs we have to relate the property for one object to the ones of previous objects. This often involves defining P(n + 1) in terms of P(n). Recursive Definitions 1 2 Terminologies A sequence is a list of objects that are enumerated in some order. A set of objects is a collection of objects on which no ordering is imposed. Inductive Definition/Recursive Definition: a definition in which the item being defined appears as part of the definition. Two parts: a basis step and an inductive/recursive step. As in the case of mathematical induction, both parts are required to give a complete definition. Recursive Definitions 3 Recursive Sequences Definition: A sequence is defined recursively by explicitly naming the first value (or the first few values) in the sequence and then defining later values in the sequence in terms of earlier values. Many sequences are easier to define recursively: Examples: S(1) = 2 S(n) = 2S(n-1) for n 2 • Sequence S 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,…. Fibonacci Sequence F(1) = 1 F(2) = 1 F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n > 2 • Sequence F 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,….

The simplest form of recursive definition of a function f on the natural numbers specifies a basis rule (B) the value f(0) and a recursion rule (R) how to obtain f(n) from f(n − 1), ∀n ≥ 1 Example 3.4.1: n-factorial n!

  • The Natural Numbers
    The natural numbers As mentioned earlier in the course, the natural numbers can be constructed using the axioms of set theory. In this note we want to discuss the necessary details of this construction. Recall that Axiom VII, often called the axiom of infinity, guarantees the existence of at least one inductive set – that is, a set X with the property that (i) ∅ ∈ X, and (ii) A ∪ {A} ∈ X whenever A ∈ X. Notice that such an inductive set X must contain the sets ∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}, {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}}, ···. However, it may also contain a lot of other elements. In order to get rid of all conceivable extraneous elements in X we can form the smallest possible subset of X which is still inductive, called its inductive core: \ C(X) = {I | I ⊆ X and I is and inductive set} = {A ∈ X | A ∈ I for every inductive set I with I ⊆ X}. We would like to define the natural numbers N to be this inductive core C(X). For this definition to be meaningful, however, we need to check if one arrives at the same inductive core regardless of the inductive set one starts out with. To this end, suppose that Y is also an inductive set. We wish to show that C(X) = C(Y ). First, observe that X ∪ Y is an inductive set, too. Also, since the sets involved in the intersection defining C(X ∪ Y ) are all those sets involved in the intersection defining C(X) plus possibly more, we conclude that C(X ∪ Y ) ⊆ C(X). Conversely, let A ∈ C(X). In order to show that A ∈ C(X ∪ Y ), we let I be an arbitrary inductive subset of X ∪ Y and argue that A ∈ I.

  • Chapter Four: the Natural Numbers, Induction, and Recursive Definition
    CHAPTER FOUR: THE NATURAL NUMBERS, INDUCTION, AND RECURSIVE DEFINITION 1 The Natural Numbers In Chapter 1, we introduced 0 (aka ;), its successor 1 = s(0) = 0[f0g = f0g, 1's successor 2 = s(1) = 1 [ f1g = f0; 1g, and 2's successor 3 = s(2) = 2 [ f2g = f0; 1; 2g. This is how the first four natural numbers are usually modelled within set theory; it's intuitively obvious that we could go on in the same way to model as many of the natural numbers as time would permit. Note that 0 2 1 2 2 2 3 2 · · · and 0 ⊆ 1 ⊆ 2 ⊆ 3 ··· . Is there a set consisting of all the natural numbers? The assumptions we made in Chapter 1 do not seem to enable us to draw this conclusion. It would be most useful to have such a set, but we are not yet quite in a position to add the assumption that there is a set whose members are precisely the natural numbers, since so far we haven't said what a natural number is! But we are about to. A set A is called inductive iff it it contains the successor of each of its members and it contains 0, i.e. iff 0 2 A ^ 8x(x 2 A ! s(x) 2 A) We then define a natural number to be a set which belongs to every inductive set. It is not hard to show that 0, 1, 2, and 3 are all natural numbers. But at this stage, for all we know, every set might be a natural number.
