Consider the recurrence relation:
Where b and c are constants.
The order of the algorithm corrosponding to above recurrence relation is:
(A) n
(B) n2
(C) n log n
(D) n3
Answer: (D)
Explanation: We can use Master theorem to solve this recurrance relation:
T(n) = aT(n/2) + Θ(nklogpn) In given question: T(n) = 8T(n/2) + Cn here a = 8 and b = 2 and k = 1. clearly a > bk So T(n) = Θ(nlogba ) T(n) = Θ(nlog2 8) ie T(n) = Θ(n3)
So, option (D) is correct.
