Hi gang,
A couple of more clarifications in problem 2.
In part (f), in order to calculate K you have to know what N is. You
can either compute K in as a function in terms of N, or, if you want,
assume that the initial N was given by N=m(m-1)/2 (what you would get
from ordinary gaussian elimination).
In part (g), the "N" does not have anything to do with the "N" in the
introduction; this was my mistake -- I forgot that I already had a
variable named "N". I've posted a revised problem in which (g) uses
"M" for the number of rank-1 updates.
As in part (f), you can either phrase your answer in (g) as a function
of N or you can assume N=m(m-1)/2.
I've posted a revised PDF with these corrections.
