递推关系同时依赖前两项,因此归纳基础必须验证 n=1 和 n=2。归纳步骤中假设公式对 n=k、n=k+1 都成立,将两式代入递推关系,证明公式对 n=k+2 成立。

For n=1, the proposed formula gives
3×21−2×31=6−6=0=u1.
For n=2, it gives
3×22−2×32=12−18=−6=u2.
Thus the result is true for n=1 and n=2.
Assume that the result is true for n=k and n=k+1. Then
uk=uk+1=3×2k−2×3k,3×2k+1−2×3k+1.
Using the recurrence relation,
uk+2=====5uk+1−6uk5(3×2k+1−2×3k+1)−6(3×2k−2×3k)15×2k+1−10×3k+1−18×2k+12×3k12×2k−18×3k3×2k+2−2×3k+2.
Therefore, if the result is true for n=k and n=k+1, it is true for n=k+2. Since it is true for n=1 and n=2, the result is true for all n∈Z+ by mathematical induction.

先验证 n=1。假设 f(k) 可被 11 整除,把 f(k+1) 中的指数降到与 f(k) 一致,再整理成 16f(k) 与一个显然含因子 11 的项之和。

For n=1,
f(1)=31+23=3+8=11,
which is divisible by 11.
Assume that the result is true for n=k, so
f(k)=33k−2+24k−1
is divisible by 11.
Now
f(k+1)====33k+1+24k+327×33k−2+16×24k−116(33k−2+24k−1)+11×33k−216f(k)+11×33k−2.
By the induction hypothesis, 16f(k) is divisible by 11, and 11×33k−2 is also divisible by 11. Therefore, f(k+1) is divisible by 11.
Hence, if the result is true for n=k, it is true for n=k+1. Since it is true for n=1, f(n) is divisible by 11 for all positive integers n, by mathematical induction.
