General Divide-and-Conquer Recurrence T(n) = aT(n/b) + f (n)where f(n)(nd), d 0 Master Theorem:If a < bd, T(n) (nd) If a = bd, T(n) (nd log n) If a > bd, T(n) (nlog b a ) • Examples: T(n) = T(n/2) + nT(n) (n ) Here a = 1, b = 2, d = 1, a < bd T(n) = 2T(n/2) + 1T(n) (nlog 2 2) = (n ) Here a = 2, b = 2, d = 0, a > bd
Examples • T(n) = T(n/2) + 1T(n) (log(n) ) Here a = 1, b = 2, d = 0, a = bd • T(n) = 4T(n/2) + nT(n) (n log 2 4)= (n 2) Here a = 4, b = 2, d = 1, a > bd • T(n) = 4T(n/2) + n2T(n) (n2 log n) Here a = 4, b = 2, d = 2, a = bd • T(n) = 4T(n/2) + n3T(n) (n3) Here a = 4, b = 2, d = 3, a < bd

Solution to T(n)=3T(n/4)+(n2) • The height is log 4n, • #leaf nodes = 3log 4n= nlog 43. Leaf node cost: T(1). • Total cost T(n)=cn2+(3/16) cn2+(3/16)2cn2+ +(3/16)log 4n-1cn2+ (nlog 43) =(1+3/16+(3/16)2+ +(3/16)log 4n-1) cn2 + (nlog 43) <(1+3/16+(3/16)2+ +(3/16)m+ ) cn2 + (nlog 43) =(1/(1-3/16)) cn2 + (nlog 43) =16/13cn2 + (nlog 43) =O(n2).
Mergesort • Split array A[0..n-1] in two about equal halves and make copies of each half in arrays B and C • Sort arrays B and C recursively • Merge sorted arrays B and C into array A
Mergesort Code mergesort( int a[], int left, int right) { if (right > left) { middle = left + (right - left)/2; mergesort(a, left, middle); mergesort(a, middle+1, right); merge(a, left, middle, right); } }
Analysis of Mergesort • T(N) = 2T(N/2) + N • All cases have same efficiency: Θ(n log n) • Space requirement: Θ(n) (not in-place) • Can be implemented without recursion (bottom-up)
Features of Mergesort All cases: Θ(n log n) Requires additional memory Θ(n) Recursive Not stable (does not preserve previous sorting) Never used for sorting in main memory, used for external sorting
Quicksort Let S be the set of N elements Quicksort(S): If N = 0 or N = 1, return Pick an element v - pivot, in S Partition S - {v} into two disjoint sets: S1 = {x є S - {v}| x ≤ v}, and S2 = {x є S - {v}| x ≥ v} Return {quicksort(S1), followed by v, followed by quicksort(S2)}
Quicksort • Select a pivot (partitioning element) • Median of three algorithm • Take the first, the last and the middle elements and sort them (within their positions). • Choose the median of these three elements. Hide the pivot – swap the pivot and the next to the last element. • Example: 5 8 9 14 2 7 After sorting 1 8 9 54 2 7 Hide the pivot 1 8 9 24 57
Quicksort Rearrange the list so that all the elements in the first s positions are smaller than or equal to the pivot and all the elements in the remaining n-s-1 positions are larger than or equal to the pivot. Note: the pivot does not participate in rearranging the elements. Exchange the pivot with the first element in the second subarray — the pivot is now in its final position Sort the two subarrays recursively
left – the smallest valid index right – the largest valid index if( left + 10 <= right) { int i = left, j = right - 1; for ( ; ; ) { while (a[++i] < pivot) {} while (pivot < a[--j] ) {} if (i < j) swap (a[i],a[j]); else break; } swap (a[i], a[right-1]); quicksort ( a, left, i-1); quicksort (a, i+1, right); } else insertionsort (a, left, right);
Analysis of Quicksort • Best case: split in the middle — Θ(n log n) T(N) = 2T(N/2) + N • Worst case: sorted array — Θ(n2) T(N) = T(N-1) + N • Average case: random arrays — Θ(n log n) Quicksort is considered the method of choice for internal sorting of large files (n ≥ 10000)
Features of Quicksort Best and average case: Θ(n log n) , Worst case: Θ(n2), it happens when the pivot is the smallest of the largest element In-place sorting, additional memory only for swapping Recursive Not stable Never used for life-critical and mission-critical applications, unless you assume the worst-case response time
Binary Search • Very efficient algorithm for searching in sorted array: K vs A[0] . . . A[m] . . . A[n-1] • If K = A[m], stop (successful search); • otherwise, continue searching by the same method in A[0..m-1] if K < A[m], and in A[m+1..n-1] if K > A[m]
Analysis of Binary Search • Time efficiency T(N) = T(N/2) + 1 • Worst case: O(log(n)) • Best case: O(1) • Optimal for searching a sorted array • Limitations: must be a sorted array (not linked list)
Binary Tree Algorithms • Binary tree is a divide-and-conquer ready structure Ex. 1: Classic traversals (preorder, inorder, postorder) • Algorithm Inorder(T) if T Inorder(Tleft) print(root of T) Inorder(Tright) • Efficiency: Θ(n)
Binary Tree Algorithms Ex. 2: Computing the height of a binary tree h(T) = max{ h(TL), h(TR) } + 1 if T and h() = -1 Efficiency: Θ(n)
