A divide-and-conquer algorithm solves a problem by dividing the input (of size n>1, T(1) =0) into two inputs half as big using n/2-1 steps. The algorithm does n steps to combine the solutions to get a solution for the original input. Write a recurrence equation for the algorithm and solve it.

Analysis Divide & Conquer: Analyze the complexity of algorithm A1 where the problem of size n is solved by dividing into 4 subprograms of size n - 4 to be recursively solved and then combining the solutions of the subprograms takes O(n2) time. Determine the recurrence and whether it is “Subtract and Conquer” or “Divide and Conquer“ type of problem. Solve the problem to the big O notation. Use the master theorem to solve, state which theorem you are using...
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....
We know that binary search on a sorted array of size n takes O(log n) time. Design a similar divide-and-conquer algorithm for searching in a sorted singly linked list of size n. Describe the steps of your algorithm in plain English. Write a recurrence equation for the runtime complexity. Solve the equation by the master theorem.
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.
Suppose that we are given a sorted array of distinct integers A[1, ......, n] and we want to decide whether there is an index i for which A[i] = i.

4.5-2 Professor Caesar wishes to develop a matrix-multiplication algorithm that is asymptotically faster than Strassen’s algorithm. His algorithm will use the divide- and-conquer method, dividing each matrix into pieces of size n/4 x n/4, and the divide and combine steps together will take O(n) time. He needs to determine how many subproblems his algorithm has to create in order to beat Strassen’s algo- rithm. If his algorithm creates a subproblems, then the recurrence for the running time T(n) becomes T(n)...
