Get started for freeGive a recursive algorithm for finding the minimum of a finite set of integers, making use of the fact that the maximum of n integers is the smaller of the last integer in the list and the minimum of the first n - 1 integers in the list.
Let be the statement that in a triangulation of a simple polygon with sides, at least one of the triangles in the triangulation has two sides bordering the exterior of the polygon.
a) Explain where a proof using strong induction that is true for all integers runs into difficulties.
b) Show that we can prove that is true for all integers by proving by strong induction the stronger statement for all integers , which states that in every triangulation of a simple polygon, at least two of the triangles in the triangulation have two sides bordering the exterior of the polygon.
