Items to prove
R(n,n) = 2q, q is an integer, n2. R(n,n) = 2[R(n-1,n-1) + 2(n-3)] + 2, n3. R(n,n) = 2[2^n-2n+1], n2. R3c = c(R3c-1 -1) + 2, c2, R31 = 3

Induction: Assume S(n) is true for R(n,n) show that it must be true for R(n+1,n+1). We know R(n+1,n+1) = 2[R(n,n) + 2(n+1) -5], n+13. Using the assumption R(n,n) = 2(2n 2n +1), then R(n+1,n+1) = 2[2(2n 2n +1) + 2(n+1) -5]. Using alegbra: R(n+1,n+1) = 2[2n+1 -4n+2+2n+2-5]. R(n+1,n+1) = 2(2n+1 2n -1). Which is exactly what one gets when one plugs in n+1 into the formula above. But this only works for n3 as that is what our prior formula worked for. To prove it for n=2 we must do the work for that case. R(2,2) = 2(4-4+1) = 2. Therefore the formula is true for 2 as well and now it can be expanded for that case. Therefore S(n) is proven for all integers greater than or equal to two.
