24 The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence of numbers F(0), F(1), \ldots defined by the following recurrence relations: for all > 1 (0) = 1, (1) = 1, ( ) = ( 1) + ( 2) By solving Recurrence equation of Fibonacci sequence, we get = for all 1 24

25 Some guess and check with respect to solving recurrence relation are: Make simplifying assumptions about inputs Tabulate the first few values of the recurrence Look for patterns, guess a solution Generalize the result to remove the assumptions 25

26 The Iterative Substitution Methods Recursion Tree The Guess-and-Test Method 26

27 The Iterative Substitution Methods Merge sort recurrence equation: = 2 2 =

28 The Iterative Substitution Methods Plugging the general equation for again yields the equation: = =

29 The Iterative Substitution Methods General form of merge sort recurrence equation: =

30 The Recursion Tree 30

31 The Recursion Tree 31

32 The Recursion Tree 32

33 The Recursion Tree For example, consider the following recurrence equation: = <

34 The Recursion Tree 34

35 The Guess-and-Test Method 35

36 Example 1 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. 36

37 Example 1 If we assume our first guess as an inductive hypothesis that is true for input sizes smaller than, then we have: ( ) = log 2 2 log + log 2 log log 2 + log log + log 37

38 Example 1 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. log + log Let us try: Better guess: log for some constant > 0. 38

39 Example 1 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log, and assuming the base case = for < 2. provided. = log 2 2 log + log 2 log 2log log log 2 log + + log log 39

40 Example 2 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. Consider the following: First guess: for some constant > 0. 40

41 Example 2 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. = log + log 2 + log 41

42 Example 2 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. + log Using a better guess: ( ) ( log ) for some constant > 0. 42

43 Example 2 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. provided 3 and 8. = log 2 2 log 2 + log 2 log log log log log log 43

44 Example 2 Consider the following recurrence equation: = 2 + log Assuming the base case = for < 2. Using a better guess: log provided 3 and 8. 44

45 The Master Theorem Method 45

46 The Master Theorem Method For recurrence equations of the form: = < + where > 1 is an integer constant, > 0, > 0, and > 1 are real constants, and is a function that is positive for. 46

47 The Master Theorem Case 1: is Θ If there is a small constant > 0, such that is 47

48 The Master Theorem Case 2 If there is a constant 0, such that is Θ log, then is Θ log. This case characterizes the situation when function. is asymptotically close to special 48

49 The Master Theorem Case 3 If there are small constant > 0 and < 1, such that is Ω and <, for, then is Θ. 49

50 Example 1 = 4 + In this case, = = so that it is the Case 1 for is for = 1. Thus = Θ by the master method. 50

51 Example 2 = 2 + log In this case, = =. Thus, we are in Case 2, with = 1, for is Θ log. This means that is Θ log by the master method. 51

52 Example 3 = + In this case, = = = 1. Thus, we are in Case 3, for is Ω, for = 1, and = =. This means that is Θ by the master method. 52

53 Example 4 Consider the recurrence = In this case, = =. Thus, we are in Case 3, since is Ω, for =, and = 9. This means that is Θ. by the master method.. = 53

54 Example 5 = 2. + log Not in a form of master method By introducing the variable = log ( = 2 ): = 2 = =

55 Example 5 By introducing the variable = log : = 2 = Substituting into = log and the equation = 2, we get that = = = 2. 55

56 Example 5 = 2 + = log Substituting back for : = log log log 56

57 Example 5 = 2 + = log Substituting back for : = log log log 57
