2 Writing recurrences +

3 Writing recurrences To determine the statement execution count is a two-step problem. Write down the recurrence from the recursive code for the algorithm. Solve the recurrence.

17 Θ(1) n = 1, 2T (n 1)+Θ(1) n > 1.

18 Solving recurrences backward substitution, the recursion-tree method, guess and verify, and the master method.

19 Backward substitution T (n 1)+1 1 n 0, = T (n 2) T (n 1)+1 n > 0. = T (n 3) = T (n n)+ = T (0)+n = 1 + n n }} n + 1 Θ(n)

20 Design Patterns for Data Structures 1 n 1, T (n/2)+1 n > 1. T (n/2)+1 = T (n/2 1 )+1 = T (n/4) = T (n/2 2 ) = T (n/8) = T (n/2 3 ) = T (n/n) = T (n/2 k )+ = T (1)+k = 1 + k 1 + lgn Θ(lgn) k }}

21 Design Patterns for Data Structures 1 n 1, T (n/2)+1 n > 1. T (n/2)+1 = T (n/2 1 )+1 = T (n/4) = T (n/2 2 ) = T (n/8) = T (n/2 3 ) = T (n/n) = T (n/2 k )+ = T (1)+k = 1 + k 1 + lgn Θ(lgn) k }}

25 Recurrence tree method Example: 1 n = 1, 2T (n/2)+n n > 1. Conclusion: Θ(nlgn)

26 Guess and verify 1 n = 1, 2T (n 1)+1 n > 1. Prove: 2 n 1 2 n 1 = n = 1 T (1)=2 1 1 = T (1)=1 = T (n) 1 = 1

27 Design Patterns for Data Structures 1 n = 1, 2T (n 1)+1 n > 1. Prove: T (n + 1) =2 n n 1 2 n 1 Prove assuming as ind. hyp. T (n + 1) = T (n) [n := n + 1] 2T (n + 1 1)+1 = 2T (n)+1 = 2(2 n 1)+1 = 2 n+1 1

28 1 n 1, T (n/2)+1 n > 1. Guess and verify Prove: lgn + 1 lgn + 1 = n = 1 T (1)=lg1 + 1 = T (1)=1 = T (n) 1 = 1

29 1 n 1, T (n/2)+1 n > 1. Prove: lgn + 1 Prove T (2n) =lg(2n)+1 assuming T (n) =lgn + 1 as ind. hyp. T (2n) = T (n) [n := 2n] T (2n/2)+1 = T (n)+1 = lgn = lgn + lg2 + 1 = lga + lgb = lg(ab) lg(2n)+1

30 The master method Master theorem: Let a be an integer a 1, b be a real number b > 1, andc be a real number c > 0. Given a recurrence of the form 1 if n = 1, at (n/b)+n c if n > 1. then, for n an exact power of b, if log b a < c, Θ(n c ), if log b a = c, Θ(n c logn), and if log b a > c, Θ(n log b a ).

31 The master method Master theorem: Let a be an integer a 1, b be a real number b > 1, andc be a real number c > 0. Given a recurrence of the form 1 if n = 1, at (n/b)+n c if n > 1. then, for n an exact power of b, if log b a < c, Θ(n c ), if log b a = c, Θ(n c logn), and if log b a > c, Θ(n log b a ). 1 n = 1, 2T (n/2)+n n > 1. a = 2 b = 2 c = 1 n Θ(nlgn)
