費馬多邊形數定理之延伸探討
本研究旨在研究費馬多邊形數定理(任意非負整數必可表成k個k邊形數的和)的一般化情況,也就是說,任意非負整數是否能表成給定的二次多項式數列中所選取的γ項和。以數學模型敘述,就是探討對一個已知的二次多項式an2+bn+c,是否可找到一正整數γ,滿足∀x∈N∪{0},∃α1,α2,…αγ,使得x=∑γi=1(aαi2+bαi+c)。 本作品主要探討若此探究模型存在,那麼數列〈an 〉的一般式an2+bn+c與γ值之間會存在什麼關係,並期望能運用一個簡潔明瞭又一般化的數學式表示。本文亦提供另一個數學模型,探討γ值與某些特殊係數a,b,c之間的關聯性。而本文探尋[a/2]n2+[b/2]n+1,a∈N,b∈Z,a+b≡0(mod 2)(此為本文主要探討的二次式),求得此二次式所對應之γ值的方法為先令p=[2a/(a+b)]+2,再藉由所建立的模型二,求出[(p-2)/2] n2+[(4-p)/2] n的γ值,接著再用所建立的模型一來求得[a/2]n2+[b/2]n+1的γ值,進而依循此方法最後得出任意形如[a/2]n2+[b/2]n+1的二次式之γ值。
An optimal-route algorithm for an intermodal Metro Manila trip planners using multiple parameters
Parameters of traffic, road availability, and fare were integrated into a web-based application for determining the best public transport routes within Metro Manila in order to assist commuters in their travel planning, whether for business or for pleasure. A user-friendly interface was developed to obtain a user’s place of origin and destination, as well as preferences in travel time, mode of transportation, and cost of journey. By accessing the traffic roadway network of the metropolis, a real-time situation of road availability was obtained, and used in a modified Dijkstra’s shortest-path algorithm to produce a model of a real-time adaptive transport network of Metro Manila. From the model, an optimal route that considers the user’s preferences can be determined. This project will be immensely useful in helping both businessmen and tourists in planning their routes that will save on time and money.
