2 A Useful Recurrence Consider the following recurrence: Θ 1, 1,, ; where, 1and 1. Arises frequently in the analyses of divide-and-conquer algorithms. Recall the following from the analyses of QSort(quicksort) in lecture 1. Serial: 2 Θ Parallel (with serial partition): Θ Parallel (with parallel partition): Θ log
