Original question and givens

Fix a cost model and explicit nonnegative functions f(n)=14*n^1, g(n)=7*n^3, with positive integer coefficients. Give (a, p, b, q, f∈O(g)?, f∈Ω(g)?, f∈Θ(g)?, prescribed O witness [a,1] or does-not-exist, prescribed Ω witness [1/b,1] or does-not-exist). Witnesses apply to the full tail n≥1, not samples.

  • G001 — Fix a cost model and explicit nonnegative functions f(n)=14*n^1, g(n)=7*n^3, with positive integer coefficients. Give (a, p, b, q, f∈O(g)?, f∈Ω(g)?, f∈Θ(g)?, prescribed O witness [a,1] or does-not-exist, prescribed Ω witness [1/b,1] or does-not-exist). Witnesses apply to the full tail n≥1, not samples.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

fixed cost model;explicit nonnegative functions on natural n

After

O,Omega and Theta quantify positive constants over a full tail

Conditions: none

Fix the cost model and function family first.O requires C>0 and N with an upper bound for every n≥N;Omega is the corresponding positive lower bound,and Theta requires both.Finite measurements describe only a finite window.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: full_tail_not_finite_benchmark_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

phase=prescribed monomials;positive coefficients=(14,7);exponents=(1,3);tail n>=1

After

O=Yes;Omega=No;Theta=No

Conditions: none

For n≥1 and p≤q,a*n^p≤a*n^q≤a*b*n^q,so prescribed C=a,N=1 works.For p≥q,n^q≤a*n^p,so prescribed c=1/b,N=1 works.In a failing direction the positive-power ratio is unbounded:for any C,N choose n≥max(N,1) and n>C*b/a;then n^(p−q)≥n violates the upper bound.For a failed lower bound interchange f and g.This is not a sample-based exponent inference.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: monomial_full_tail_exponent_proof · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

O=Yes;Omega=No;a=14;b=7

After

prescribed O witness=[14, 1];prescribed Omega witness=does not exist

Conditions: none

Retain the prescribed[a,1] and[1/b,1] witnesses even if tighter constants exist.Do not rewrite the1/b string;an impossible direction is marked does-not-exist.

Rule: prescribed_tail_witnesses_not_replaced · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(14, 1, 7, 3, Yes, No, No, [14, 1], does-not-exist)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
