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.
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.
C≥a and C≥b make both residual coefficients nonnegative for every natural n.This covers all n rather than selected points;when a=b=0,C=1 remains positive.
S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute C-b with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute C-a with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute a+b for prescribed constant with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
Result
(18, 37, 55, 0, Yes, 18n+37≤55(n+1) for all n≥0)
The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
