    3. 3 Example: a recursive algorithm Algorithm: if n=0 then F(n) := 1 else F(n) := F(n-1) * n return F(n) Note the difference between the two recurrences. Students often confuse these! F(n) = F(n-1) n F(0) = 1 ------------ M(n) =M(n-1) + 1 M(0) = 0 (# recursive calls is the same)Note the difference between the two recurrences. Students often confuse these! F(n) = F(n-1) n F(0) = 1 ------------ M(n) =M(n-1) + 1 M(0) = 0 (# recursive calls is the same)

    5. 5 Example: recursive evaluation of n ! Definition: n ! = 1*2*…*(n-1)*n Recursive definition of n!: Algorithm: if n=0 then F(n) := 1 else F(n) := F(n-1) * n return F(n) M(n): number of multiplications to compute n! Could we establish a recurrence relation for deriving M(n)? Note the difference between the two recurrences. Students often confuse these! F(n) = F(n-1) n F(0) = 1 ------------ M(n) =M(n-1) + 1 M(0) = 0 (# recursive calls is the same)Note the difference between the two recurrences. Students often confuse these! F(n) = F(n-1) n F(0) = 1 ------------ M(n) =M(n-1) + 1 M(0) = 0 (# recursive calls is the same)

    6. 6 Example: recursive evaluation of n ! M(n) = M(n-1) + 1 for n > 0 A recurrence relation is an equation or inequality that describes a function in terms of its value on smaller inputs Explicit formula for the sequence (e.g. M(n)) in terms of n only

    7. 7 Example: recursive evaluation of n ! Definition: n ! = 1*2*…*(n-1)*n Recursive definition of n!: Algorithm: if n=0 then F(n) := 1 else F(n) := F(n-1) * n return F(n) M(n) = M(n-1) + 1 Initial Condition: M(0) = ? Note the difference between the two recurrences. Students often confuse these!

F(n) = F(n-1) n F(0) = 1 ------------ M(n) =M(n-1) + 1 M(0) = 0 (# recursive calls is the same)

    9. 9 Time efficiency of recursive algorithms Steps in analysis of recursive algorithms: Decide on parameter n indicating input size Identify algorithm’s basic operation Determine worst, average, and best case for inputs of size n Set up a recurrence relation and initial condition(s) for C(n)-the number of times the basic operation will be executed for an input of size n Solve the recurrence to obtain a closed form or estimate the order of magnitude of the solution (see Appendix B)

    10. 10 EXAMPLE: tower of hanoi Problem: Given three pegs (A, B, C) and n disks of different sizes Initially, all the disks are on peg A in order of size, the largest on the bottom and the smallest on top The goal is to move all the disks to peg C using peg B as an auxiliary Only 1 disk can be moved at a time, and a larger disk cannot be placed on top of a smaller one
