4. Practice with the iteration method. We have already had a recurrence relation ofan algorithm, which is T(n) = 4T(n/2) + n log n. We know T(1) ≤ c.(a) Solve this recurrence relation, i.e., express it as T(n) = O(f(n)), by using the iteration method.Answer:(b) Prove, by using mathematical induction, that the iteration rule you have observed in 4(a) is correct and you have solved the recurrence relation correctly. [Hint: You can write out the general form of T(n) at the iteration step t, and prove that this form is correct for any iteration step t by using mathematical induction.Then by finding out the eventual number of t and substituting it into your generalform of T(n), you get the O(·) notation of T(n).]

Find the relation between the following functions: f(n) = log n and g(n) = Vn. (Square root for n)Hint: you may use L'Hopital's Theorem. For function f(n)=log n and time t=1 second, determine the largest size n of a problem that can be solved in time t, assume that the algorithm to solve the problem takes f(n) microseconds. Suppose you have algorithms with the two running times listed below. Suppose you have a computer that can perform 6 operations per second, and you need to compute a result in at most an hour of computation.

Consider the following functions as time complexities of some algorithms. (a) First write the worst-case runtime of each algorithm in Big-O notation. (b) Then arrange functions from low to high (Consider their Big-O notations as you arrange them; as n grows, the function that grows slower should come sooner than the one that grows faster). (c) Arbitrary, select TWO of arrangements in part (b) and for each one of them justify why you have chosen such an ordering for the corresponding function. Provide formal proof. For example if fl<=f2<= f3<= f4<=f5 you may choose to formally justify why (1) fl<=f2 and why (2) f4<=f5 . fI(n)=n², f2(n)=210 nlogn, f3(n)=3", f4(n)=n, f5(n)=1, f6(n)=5*logn, f7(n)= n", f8(n)=4 n*n, f9(n)=2log(n³)
