Hello,
does a command or module exist which can test a list of values and determine
if it is a super-increasing list?
A super-increasing list satifies the conditions:
a. the list is in increasing order
b. each element of the list is greater than the sum of it's previous
elements
Example:
list = {2, 3, 7, 15, 31}
So check:
a. It is in increasing order and
b. 3 > 2, 7 > 3+ 2, 15 > 7 + 3 + 2 and 31 > 15 + 7 + 3 + 2,
hence the list is super-increasing.
Thanks for any inputs, Flip
To email me, remove "_alpha".
