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.
Homework Answers
Here is the answer.We can solve this equation using any other methods also.
Recurrence equation is : T(n)=2T(n/2)+theta(n)
Time Complexity is:Theta(nlogn)[It means for best and worst cases it gives same time complexity that's why we use theta notation here]
If you have any doubt regarding this,feel free to comment on comment section.

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....

Question #4 (15 points) In class, we discussed a divide-and-conquer algorithm for matrix multiplication that involved solving eight subproblems, each half the size of the original, and performing a constant number of e(n) addition operations. Strassen's Algo- rithm, which we did not cover, reduces the number of (half-sized) subproblems to seven, with a constant number of e(n) addition and subtraction operations.

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)...
