A General Method for Solving Divide-and-Conquer Recurrences |

10 p Carnegie Mellon University: December, 1978. includes bibliography. |
summary |
The complexity of divide-and-conquer algorithms is often described by recurrence relations of the form T(n) = kT(n/c) + f(n). The only method currently available for solving such recurrences consists of solution tables for fixed functions f and varying k and c. In this note the authors describe a unifying method for solving these recurrences that is both general in applicability and easy to apply without the use of large tables |
