algorithm-analysis

I need some explanation on amortization analysis with respect to analysis of algorithm. I need some more explanation on one of the theorem attached. Explanation needed: 1. How did the author derive at Mij is O (ij-ij-1)? 2. Need explanation for quoted from the book " because at most ij-ij-1 -1 elements have been added into the table since the clear operation Mij-1 or since the beginning of the series." 3. Also what does the summation equation mean? need some more thorough explanation and the essence of the theorem.

algorithm analysis - orders of growth question

I'm studing orders of growth "big oh", "big omega", and "big theta". Since I can't type the little symbols for these I will denote them as follows: ORDER = big oh OMEGA = big omega THETA = big theta For example I'll say n = ORDER(n^2) to mean that the function n is in the order of n^2 (n grows… >>> More

Help with algorithmic complexity in custom merge sort implementation

as seen on Programmers - Search for 'Programmers'
I've got an implementation of the merge sort in C++ using a custom doubly linked list. I'm coming up with a big O complexity of n^2, based on the merge_sort() slice operation. But, from what I've read, this algorithm should be n*log(n), where the log has a base of two. Can someone help me determine… >>> More
How meaningful is the Big-O time complexity of an algorithm?

as seen on Programmers - Search for 'Programmers'
Programmers often talk about the time complexity of an algorithm, e.g. O(log n) or O(n^2). Time complexity classifications are made as the input size goes to infinity, but ironically infinite input size in computation is not used. Put another way, the classification of an algorithm is based on a… >>> More
