Question

Consider an inductive definition of a version of Ackermann’s function. This function was named after Wilhelm Ackermann, a German mathematician who was a student of the great mathematician David Hilbert. Ackermann’s function plays an important role in the theory of recursive functions and in the study of the complexity of certain algorithms involving set unions. (There are several different variants of this function. All are called Ackermann’s function and have similar properties even though their values do not always agree.) image Find the value of Ackermann’s function A(0, 3).

A. A(0,3)=0

B. A(0,3)=2

C. A(0,3)=6

D. A(0,3)=4

Explanation / Answer

A(m,n) = 2n if m= 0

here m = 0 in A(0,3)

n = 3

hence A(0,3) = 6

C) is correct
