Mathematical induction & Recursion
Mathematical induction • Used to prove statements of the form x P(x) where x Z+ Mathematical induction proofs consists of two steps: 1) Basis: The proposition P(1) is true. 2) Inductive Step: The implication P(n) P(n+1), is true for all positive n. • Therefore we conclude x P(x).

This procedure, called the simplex method, proceeds by moving from one feasible solution to another, at each step improving the value of the objective function. Moreover, the method terminates after a finite number of such transitions.
