Ackermann's Function

Ackermann's Function is a recursive mathematical algorithm that can be used to test how well a system optimizes its performance of recursion. Design a function ackermann (m, n), which solves Ackermann's function. Use the following logic in your function:

If m = 0 then return n + 1

If n = 0 then return ackermann (m - 1, 1)

Otherwise, return ackermann (m - 1, ackermann (m, n - 1))

Once you've designed your function, test it by calling it with small values for m and n.

(Dynamic Programming.) Recall the problem presented in Assign- ment 3 where given a list L of n ordered integers you're tasked with removing m of them such that the distance between the closest two remaining integers is maxi- mized. See Assignment 1 for further clarification and examples. As it turns out there is no (known) greedy algorithm to solve this problem. However, there is a dynamic programming solution. Devise a dynamic programming solution which determines the maximum distance between the closest two points after removing m numbers. Note, it doesn't need to return the resulting list itself. Hint 1: Your sub-problems should be of the form S(i, j), where S(i, j) returns the maximum distance of the closest two numbers when only considering removing j of the first i numbers in L. As an example if L [3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15], then S(4, 1) = 2, since the closest two values of L' = [3,4,6,8] are 6 and 8 after removing 4 (note, 8-6 = = 2). = Hint 2: For the sub-problem S(i, j),…
