Starting from the
solved state of cube, if the same move-sequence S is applied
successively, then the cube will return to the solved state again
Proof:
Let,
m = minimum number of
times S is applied to get the same arrangement k for the first
time; where k<m
Hence, Sk =
Sm ------------------------------------------ (i)
To prove:
The cube return to the solved state again.
Proof:
If we prove that k=0, then automatically it will be proved that the
cube will return to the solved state again.
If
k=0, then S0
= Sm
= 1 , hence proved.
Assume:
k > zero.
Multiply,
both sides of (i) by S-1
,
then
Sk-1
= Sm-1
------------------------------------------ (ii)
But,
from (ii), it means that we repeated an arrangement which is
contradiction to the fact that m is least number of times S is
applied to repeat an arrangement.
Hence,
k must be 0.
