Consider the following Mathematica expression:
Reduce[2^j/(j + 1) <= 10, j, Integers]
which outputs:
j == 0 || j == 1 || j == 2 || j == 3 || j == 4 ||
j == 5 || j == 6 || (j \[Element]∈ Integers && j <= -2)
Therefore, the maximum integer $j$ satisfying $\frac{2^j}{j + 1}$ is 6.
I tried to using the function FindMaximum
, as follows:
FindMaximum[{j, 2^j/(j + 1) <= 10 && j \[Element]∈ Integers}, j]
but it gives the following error:
FindMaximum::eqineq: "Constraints in {j\[Element]Integersj∈Integers,2^j/(1+j)<=10} are
not all equality or inequality constraints.
With the exception of integer domain constraints for linear programming,
domain constraints or constraints with Unequal (!=) are not supported."
My general question is:
How to solve inequalities like $\frac{2^j}{j + 1} \le c$ (for some constant $c$) in Mathematica, over Integers?
