Re: Discrete mathematics

The StackExchange. They have a big math forum there.

I do not understand 1), can you show an example of what you mean?

Re: Discrete mathematics

for example suppose my set is 1 1 2 2. if second switch fails the set turn to 1 3 2. there is 1 switch less than or equal to 2^0, two switch LE 2^1 and 3 switches LE 2^2. so first condition is satisfied. Second condition is also satisfied. So, it works.
Now, suppose third switch fails; the set will be 1 1 4. there is 1 switch LE 2^0, two switch LE 2^1 and 3 switches LE 2^2. so first condition is satisfied. But since 4>6/2. this series cannot provide all levels ( numbers between 1 to 6).

Since I have develop this method by thinking and try&error, I am not sure about it. Please inform me if this method has any defect. Thank you

Re: Discrete mathematics

I will need to think about this for a while. I will have more questions tomorrow.
