Analysis of algorithms • Can we say something about the running time of an algorithm without implementing and testing it? • InsertionSort(A) • initialize: sort A[1] • for j = 2 to A.length • do key = A[j] • i = j -1 • while i > 0 and A[i] > key • do A[i+1] = A[i] • i = i -1 • A[i +1] = key
Analysis of algorithms • Analyze the running time as a function of n (# of input elements) • best case • average case • worst case elementary operationsadd, subtract, multiply, divide, load, store, copy, conditional and unconditional branch, return … An algorithm has worst case running time T(n) if for any input of size n the maximal number of elementary operations executed is T(n).

Θ-notation Intuition: concentrate on the leading term, ignore constants 19 n3 + 17 n2 - 3nbecomes Θ(n3) 2 n lg n + 5 n1.1 - 5becomes n - ¾ n √nbecomes Θ(n1.1) ---
Θ-notation Let g(n) : N ↦ N be a function. Then we have Θ(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exist positive constants c1, c2, and n0 such that 0 ≤ c1g(n) ≤ f(n) ≤ c2g(n) for all n ≥ n0} “Θ(g(n)) is the set of functions that grow as fast as g(n)”

Then we have Θ(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exist positive constants c1, c2, and n0 such that 0 ≤ c1g(n) ≤ f(n) ≤ c2g(n) for all n ≥ n0} Claim: 19n3 + 17n2 - 3n = Θ(n3) Proof: Choose c1= 19, c2 = 36 and n0 = 1. Then we have for all n ≥ n0: 0 ≤ c1n3 (trivial) ≤ 19n3 + 17n2 - 3n (since 17n2 > 3n for n ≥ 1) ≤ c2n3 (since 17n2 ≤ 17n3 for n ≥1)■

Then we have Θ(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exist positive constants c1, c2, and n0 such that 0 ≤ c1g(n) ≤ f(n) ≤ c2g(n) for all n ≥ n0} Claim: 19n3 + 17n2 - 3n ≠ Θ(n2) Proof: Assume that there are positive constants c1, c2, and n0 such that for all n ≥ n0 0 ≤ c1n2 ≤ 19n3 + 17n2 - 3n ≤ c2n2 Since 3n – 17n2 ≤ 0 we would have for all n ≥ n019n3 ≤ c2n2 and hence 19n ≤ c2.
O-notation Let g(n) : N ↦ N be a function. Then we have O(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exist positive constants c and n0 such that 0 ≤ f(n) ≤ cg(n) for all n ≥ n0} “O(g(n)) is the set of functions that grow at most as fast as g(n)”

Analysis of InsertionSort InsertionSort(A) • initialize: sort A[1] • for j = 2 to A.length • do key = A[j] • i = j -1 • while i > 0 and A[i] > key • do A[i+1] = A[i] • i = i -1 • A[i +1] = key • Get as tight a bound as possible on the worst case running time. ➨ lower and upper bound for worst case running time Upper bound: Analyze worst case number of elementary operations Lower bound: Give “bad” input example
Analysis of InsertionSort InsertionSort(A) • initialize: sort A[1] • for j = 2 to A.length • do key = A[j] • i = j -1 • while i > 0 and A[i] > key • do A[i+1] = A[i] • i = i -1 • A[i +1] = key Upper bound: Let T(n) be the worst case running time of InsertionSort on an array of length n. We have T(n) = Lower bound: O(1) O(1) worst case:(j-1) ∙ O(1) O(1) { O(1) + (j-1)∙O(1) + O(1) } = O(j) = O(n2) O(1) + Ω(n2) Array sorted in de-creasing order ➨ The worst case running time of InsertionSort isΘ(n2).
Analysis of MergeSort • MergeSort(A) • // divide-and-conquer algorithm that sorts array A[1..n] • if A.length = 1 • thenskip • else • n = A.length ; n1= floor(n/2); n2= ceil(n/2); • copy A[1.. n1] to auxiliary array A1[1.. n1] • copy A[n1+1..n] to auxiliary array A2[1.. n2] • MergeSort(A1); MergeSort(A2) • Merge(A, A1, A2) O(1) O(1) O(n) O(n) ?? O(n) T( n/2 ) + T( n/2 ) MergeSort is a recursive algorithm ➨ running time analysis leads to recursion
Analysis of MergeSort • Let T(n) be the worst case running time of MergeSort on an array of length n. We have O(1) if n = 1 T(n) = T( n/2 ) + T( n/2 ) + Θ(n) if n > 1 frequently omitted since it (nearly) always holds often written as2T(n/2)
Solving recurrences • Easiest: Master theoremcaveat: not always applicable • Alternatively: Guess the solution and use the substitution method to prove that your guess it is correct. • How to guess: • expand the recursion • draw a recursion tree
The master theorem Let a and b be constants, let f(n) be a function, and let T(n) be defined on the nonnegative integers by the recurrence T(n) = aT(n/b) + f(n) Then we have: • If f(n) = O(nlog a – ε) for some constant ε > 0, then T(n) = Θ(nlog a). • If f(n) = Θ(nlog a), then T(n) = Θ(nlog a log n) • If f(n) = Ω(nlog a + ε) for some constant ε > 0, and if af(n/b) ≤ cf(n) for some constant c < 1 and all sufficiently large n, then T(n) = Θ(f(n)) can be rounded up or down note: logba - ε b b b b b
The master theorem: Example T(n) = 4T(n/2) + Θ(n3) • Master theorem with a = 4, b = 2, and f(n) = n3 logba = log24 = 2 ➨ n3 = f(n) = Ω(nlog a + ε) = Ω(n2 + ε) with, for example, ε = 1 • Case 3 of the master theorem gives T(n) = Θ(n3), if the regularity condition holds. choose c = ½ and n0 = 1 ➨af(n/b) = 4(n/2)3 = n3/2 ≤ cf(n) for n ≥ n0 ➨ T(n) = Θ(n3) b
The substitution method • The Master theorem does not always apply • In those cases, use the substitution method: • Guess the form of the solution. • Use induction to find the constants and show that the solution works Use expansion or a recursion-tree to guess a good solution.

3/2 = 1, 4/2 = 2 ➨ 3 must also be base case The substitution method 2 if n = 1 2T( n/2 ) + n if n > 1 Claim: T(n) = O(n log n) Proof: by induction on n to show: there are constants c and n0suchthat T(n) ≤ c n log n for all n ≥ n0 T(1) = 2➨ choose c = 2(for now)andn0 = 2 • Why n0 = 2? • How many base cases?

The substitution method 2 if n = 1 2T( n/2 ) + n if n > 1 Claim: T(n) = O(n log n) Proof: by induction on n to show: there are constants c and n0 such that T(n) ≤ c n log n for all n ≥ n0 • choose c = 3andn0 = 2 Inductive step: n > 3 T(n) = 2T( n/2 ) + n ≤ 2 cn/2 log n/2 + n (ind. hyp.) ≤ cn ((log n) - 1) + n ≤ cn log n■ T(n) =
The substitution method Θ(1) if n = 1 2T( n/2 ) + n if n > 1 Claim: T(n) = O(n) Proof: by induction on n Base case: n = n0 T(2) = 2T(1) + 2 = 2c + 2 = O(2) Inductive step: n > n0 T(n) = 2T( n/2 ) + n = 2O( n/2 ) + n (ind. hyp.) = O(n) ■ T(n) = Never use O, Θ, or Ω in a proof by induction!
