Suppose the following is a divide-and-conquer algorithm for some problem.
"Make the input of size n into 3 subproblems of sizes n/2 , n/4 , n/8 , respectively with O(n) time; Recursively call on these subproblems; and then combine the results in O(n) time.
The recursive call returns when the problems become of size 1 and the time in this case is constant."
(a) Let T(n) denote the worst-case running time of this approach on the problem of size n. Please express the running time with the recurrence.
(b) Use a recursion tree to derive the asymptotic bound of T(n) with "Big Theta" (Θ) notation.
(c) Please use the substitution method to verify the asymptotic bound you derive in (b). (Note: T(n) = Θ (n) , T(n) = O(n) and T(n) = Ω(n).)

Given n distinct items: Assuming n is a power of 2, write down a recursive divide-and-conquer algorithm for solving simultaneous minimum and maximum, using n = 2 as the bottom of the recursion. If we let T(n) denote the number of comparisons done by your algorithm, write down the recurrence relation satisfied by T(n). Solve exactly (without using the “big O” notation) the recurrence relation for T(n), showing all the details of your work.

Let T(n) denote the worst case running time of an algorithm when its input has size n. In divide and conquer algorithms, T(n) is often expressed using a recursion. Hence, expressing T(n) in terms of the big-Oh notation requires a bit of work. There are many ways of determining the growth rate of T(n). In class, I’ve shown you how to do it by drawing the recursion tree. Here are the steps: (1) draw the recursion tree out, (2) determine...
