Problem 14.34
False Claim.
2n = O(1). (1)
False Proof. The proof is by induction on n where the induction hypothesis P(n) is the assertion
(1).
Base Case: P(0) holds trivially.
Inductive Step: We may assume P(n), so there is a constant c > 0 such that 2n ≤ c ⋅ 1.
Therefore
2n+1 = 2 ⋅ 2n ≤ (2c) ⋅ 1,
which implies that 2n+1 = O(1). That is, P(n + 1) holds, which completes the proof of the
inductive step.
We conclude by induction that 2n = O(1) for all n. That is, the exponential function is bounded by
a constant. QED.
Identify a major mistake in the above False Proof.
