Fundamentals of Algorithms Fall 2009 HW 2 Solutions
Based on responses of Keesha Joseph and Rotimi Iziduh
1. Expand log (x/y) in terms of log x and log y
log(x/y) = log x + log y
2. What is the running time of multiplying two n-digit numbers using the standard algorithm? Is it possible to
solve this problem with fewer multiplications?
The running time of multiplying two n-digit # is O(n^2).
There is a way to solve this problem with fewer multiplications. A guy by the name of Karatsuba
came up with a system to multiply these numbers faster. The running time for this is O(n^(lg 2)) =
O(n^1.59).
3.
What is the worst case running time of sequential search? What about binary search? What conditions
need to hold before we can run binary search?
The worst case running time of sequential search is n.
The worst case running time of binary search is log n
Before we run a binary search the elements being searched must be in order from lowest to highest.
4. What is the running time of the best and worst cases of the following sorting algorithms?
Insertion Sort Selection Sort
Bubble Sort
Merge Sort
Best Case
O(n)
O(n^2)
O(n)
O(nlogn)
Worst Case
O(n^2)
O(n^2)
O(n^2)
O(nlogn)
5.
What is the worst case input for
(a) Insertion Sort – Reversed List
(b) Bubble Sort – Reversed list
(c) Selection Sort – Doesn’t matter, all lists take the same number of steps.
(d) Merge Sort – Reversed list.
(e) Sequential Search – item is at end of list or not in list.
6.
What is the Best case input for
(a) Insertion Sort – Sorted list
(b) Bubble Sort – Sorted list
(c) Selection Sort - Doesn’t matter, all lists take the same number of steps.
(d) Merge Sort – Sorted List.
(e) Sequential Search – item is at beginning of list.

inputs on both algorithms and compare the running times.

language. Compare running time on an in order array and a reversed array. What does this show about the

(b) Please show which function is faster growing between the following two functions:
a.(n^2-n)/2 and 6n
(n^2-n)/2
b. n+2sqrt(n) and n^2
n^2
c. n+nlog(n) and n*sqrt(n)
n*sqrt(n)
d. n^2 + 3n + 4 and n^3

e. n log(n) and n*sqrt(n)/2
n*sqrt(n)/2
f. n + log(n) and sqrt(n)
n + log(n)
g. 2log(n)^2 and log n +1
2log(n)^2

(n^2-n)/2
11. Order the following function from slowest growing to fastest growing: n^3, lg n, 2^n, n, n^2, n lg n
lg n, n, n lg n, n^2, n^3, 2^n
12. Use the product rule for derivates [(fg)' = f'g + fg'] to prove by mathematical induction that for every
integer n >= 1, the derivative of

13. Suppose that m is a fixed integer and
mathematical induction.
. Then for every integer n >= 1,
. Prove this by
x^(k+1) mod m= y^(k+1) mod m
x^(k+1) mod m= y^(k+1) mod m QED
14. Suppose that f(n)=n*f(n-1) with f(1)=1. Prove by induction that f(n)=n*(n-1)…3*2*1.
15. Suppose that f(n)=f(n-1) + 2*n-1 with f(1)=1. Prove by induction that f(n)=n^2.
LHS F(k+1)
16. Suppose that f(n)=2*f(n-1) with f(1)=1. Prove by induction that f(n)=2^n.
F(k+1)
17. Suppose that f(n)=2*f(n/2) with f(1)=1. Prove by induction that f(2^k)=2^k.
18. Suppose that f(n)=2*f(n/2) + n with f(2)=2. Prove by induction that f(2^k)=k*2^k.
19. Suppose that f(n)=3*f(n-1) - 15 with f(1)=8. Prove by induction that f(n)= (3^(n-1) + 15) /2.
multiplying by 3 and subtracting 15 from both sides
3(f(k)-15 = 3((3^(k-1) + 15)/2)-15 =
F(k+1) = (3^k +45)/2 -15 = (3^k + 15)/2
20. Suppose that f(n)=f(n-1) + n-1 with f(1)=3. Prove by induction that f(n)= 3 + ((n-1)*n)/2.
Base Case: f(1) = 3
