I don't quite know whether your reply answers the issue I have here, but
my
problem is not writing out the definition of t(n) for which t(n) is
determined by the divisibility on n. I've got that done already. It's
writing out the definition of t: N ---> N is arbitrary, and my not knowing
whether the change in definition of t(n) will mean that anything needs to
be
said as regards c(n), which after the second definition is laid down
becomes
c(n,J).
Cheers.
