discrete mathematics - Prove the equality using complete mathematical induction.




Given that D0=1,D1=0,Dn=(n1)(Dn1+Dn2) for all n2.




Prove the equality Dn=n!nk=0(1)kk!




I wish to prove the equalty using Complete Induction.



Let P(n) be the above statement for n2.



Basis Step: P(0) and P(1) are true by the initial conditions.




Inductive step: Let l1 be fixed. Suppose that P(m) is true for all 0ml.



LHS of P(l+1)=l(Dl+Dl1)=(l+1)!lk=0(1)kk!+l!l1k=0(1)kk!



From there, I have tried to simplify the expression and equate it to the RHS of P(l+1) but I can't get the RHS.



Any help please?



Edit: I managed to solve it after correcting my mistake. Thanks :)


Answer




l(Dl+Dl1)=l(l)!lk=0(1)kk!+l!l1k=0(1)kk!=(l+1)(l)!l1k=0(1)kk!+(1)lll!l!=(l+1)!l1k=0(1)kk!+(1)l(l+1)l!l!(1)ll!l!=(l+1)!l+1k=0(1)kk!=Dl+1.
