... EXAMPLE Compound interest describes an investment in which the interest rate is applied each period to the previous base and added to that base to produce the new principal. That is, Pn = P(n–1) + rP(n–1) = (1+r)P(n–1). The resulting recurrence generates a geometric sequence. Pn = P0(1+r)n for n per ...

This mapping is a many-to-one mapping, so it is a function. • The mapping in example 2, rounded whole number onto unrounded number is NOT a function, since, for example, the rounded numbe ...

... EXAMPLE 4 The function f (n) = n + 3 is computable. The input is W = 1n+1 . Thus we need only add two 1’s to the input. A Turing machine M which computes f follows: M = {q1 , q2 , q3 } = {s0 1s0 L, s0 B 1s1 L, s1 B 1sH L} Observe that: (1) q1 moves the machine M to the left. (2) q2 writes 1 in the b ...

Functional decomposition

Functional decomposition refers broadly to the process of resolving a functional relationship into its constituent parts in such a way that the original function can be reconstructed (i.e., recomposed) from those parts by function composition. In general, this process of decomposition is undertaken either for the purpose of gaining insight into the identity of the constituent components (which may reflect individual physical processes of interest, for example), or for the purpose of obtaining a compressed representation of the global function, a task which is feasible only when the constituent processes possess a certain level of modularity (i.e., independence or non-interaction). Interactions between the components are critical to the function of the collection. All interactions may not be observable, but possibly deduced through repetitive perception, synthesis, validation and verification of composite behavior.
