2 COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS 1.

2.

(a)

The function f never exceeds the value of a certain constant c .

(b)

f is a constant function.

(c)

The function f never exceeds the value of the power function nc for some constant c .

In the following answers, these two definitions are used:

f1 (n) is O( g1 (n)) if there exist positive numbers c1 and N1 such that f1 (n)  c1 g1 (n) for all n  N1 ; f 2 ( n) is O( g 2 (n)) if there exist positive numbers c2 and N2 such that f 2 (n)  c2 g 2 (n) for all n  N 2 ; (a)

From the above definitions, we have

f1 (n)  c1  max( g1 ( n) g 2 (n)) for all n  max( N1  N 2 ), f 2 (n)  c2  max( g1 (n) g 2 ( n)) for all n  max( N1  N 2 ), which implies that

f1 ( n)  f 2 (n)  (c1  c2 )  max( g1 (n) g 2 ( n)) for all n  max( N1  N 2 ). Hence for c3  c1  c2 and N 3  max( N1  N 2 ) f1 (n)  f 2 ( n)  c3  max( g1 (n)  g 2 ( n)) for all

n  N3 , that is, f1 (n)  f 2 (n) is O(max( g1 (n) g 2 (n))). (b)

If g1 ( n)  g 2 (n), then for c  max(c1  c2 ), cg1 (n)  cg 2 (n) and cg1 (n)  cg 2 (n)  2cg 2 ( n), which implies that O( g1 (n))  O( g 2 (n)) is O( g 2 ( n)).

(c)

The

rule

of

f1 (n)  f 2 (n)

product,

is

O( g1 ( n)  g 2 (n))

is

true,

since

f1 ( n)  f 2 ( n)  c1c2 g1 ( n)  g 2 (n) for all n  max( N1  N 2 ). (d)

O (cg ( n )) is (O ( g ( n )) means that any function f which is O (cg ) is also O ( g ) . Function f is O (cg ) if there are two constants c1 and N so that f (n)  c1cg (n) for all n  N ; in this case, for

a constant c2  c1c f ( n)  c2 g ( n); thus by choosing properly a constant c2 (whose value depends on the value of c and c1 ), f is O ( g ).
