Recursive method for Harmonic number:

The recursive method for harmonic number is given below:

Create the method harmonic() that accepts the input parameter as “n” to calculate and return the harmonic number.

//Define the harmonic() method

public static double harmonic(int n)

{

  //Check whether "n" is equal to "1"

  if(n == 1)

  //Return the value "1"

  return 1.0;

  //Otherwise, call the harmonic() method recursively

  else

  //Return the harmonic number for "n" number

  return harmonic(n - 1) + (1...

Give a recursive algorithm for finding the sum of the first n positive integers
Ackermann’s function is a recursive mathematical algorithm that can be used to test how well a computer performs recursion. Write a function A(m, n) that solves Ackermann’s function. Use the following logic in your function: If m = 0 then return n + 1 If n = 0 then return A(m-1, 1) Otherwise, return A(m-1, A(m, n-1)) Test your function in a driver program that displays the following values:A(0, 0) A(0, 1) A(1, 1) A(1, 2) A(1, 3) A(2, 2) A(3, 2)
A recursive sequence is defined by - d k = 6 d k − 1 + 3 , for all integers k ≥ 2 and d1 = 2 Use iteration to guess an explicit formula for the above sequence.
