Chapter 12.5, Problem 2QE
Program Plan Intro
Complexity of problems:
Whether the practical solution of any solvable problem is complex or not is investigated by the solvability of problems. Some problems that are theoretically solvable are so complex means from a practical point of view they are unsolvable called as complexity of problems.
The step by step instructions that are written in an organized manner to solve a problem in computer science is called algorithm.

Question: Design an algorithm for this problem with worst-case runtime of O(n).
suppose that n is not 2i for any integer i. How would we change the algorithm so that it handles the case when n is odd? I have two solutions: one that modifies the recursive algorithm directly, and one that combines the iterative algorithm and the recursive algorithm. You only need to do one of the two (as long as it works and does not increase the BigOh of the running time.)
A certain recursive algorithm takes an input list of n elements. Divides the list into Vn
sub-lists, each with yn elements. Recursively solves each of these yn smaller sub-
instances. Then spends an additional 0(n) time to combine the solutions of these sub-
instances to obtain the solution of the main instance.
As a base case, if the size of the input list is at most a specified positive constant, then
the algorithm solves such a small instance directly in 0(1) time.
a) Express the recurrence relation that governs T(n), the time complexity of this
algorithm.
b) Derive the solution to this recurrence relation: T(n) = 0(?).
Mention which methods you used to derive your solution.

Each diagonal element is solved for, and an approximate value is plugged in. The process is then iterated until it converges.

Following is the problem statement: There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. The counting out begins at some point (rear) in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number (k) of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. For example, if n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1…arrow_forwardIn python, The Longest Subsequence Problem is a well-studied problem in Computer Science, where given a sequence of distinct positive integers, the goal is to output the longest subsequence whose elements appear from smallest to largest, or from largest to smallest. For example, consider the sequence S= [9,7,4,10,6,8,2,1,3,5]. The longest increasing subsequence of S has length three ([4,6,8] or [2,3,5]), and the longest decreasing subsequence of S has length five([9,7,4,2,1] or [9,7,6,2,1]). And if we have the sequence S = [531,339,298,247,246,195,104,73,52,31], then the length of the longest increasing subsequence is 1 and the length of the longest decreasing subsequence is 10.

- Pseudo-random numbers Randomly generating numbers is a crucial subroutine of many algorithms in computer sci- ence. Because computers execute deterministic code, it is not possible (without external influence) to generate truly random numbers. Hence, computers actually generate psuedo- random numbers. The linear congruential method is a simple method for generating pseudo-random numbers. Let m be a positive integer and a be an integer 2 < a <m, and c be an integer 0 ≤ c<m. A linear congruential method uses the following recurrence relation to define a sequence of pseudo-random numbers: In+1=a+c mod m (a) Use the linear congruence method with a = 8, c=5, and m = 14, to compute the first 15 pseudo-random numbers when co= 1. That is, compute zo,X1, X 14- (b) From part (a) we should notice that, with m = 14, the sequence does not contain all 14 numbers in the set Z14. In particular because the sequence is periodic.
