n- 1 P(n- 1)= n L(n- 1)F(n- 1)

n P(n)= n+ 1 L(n)= P(n- 1)+L(n- 1)F(n)= F(n- 1)+L(n- 1)

So l (n) = p (n-1)+l (n-1) = n+n-1+n-2+…+1+p (0) = n (n+/kloc

F(n)=F(n- 1)+ L(n- 1)

=[(n- 1)n/2+ 1]+[(n- 1)(n-2)/2+ 1]+…+[ 1 *( 1+ 1)/2+ 1]+L(0)

= n+ 1+[ 1 * 2+2 * 3+3 * 4+……+(n- 1)n]/2

= n+ 1+(n- 1)n(n+ 1)/6

=(n? +5n+6)/6
