1. Find the complexity of the following set loops, where n is given as input:
i n;
while(i > 0) {
j = I //Be Aware: this DOES NOT Start at 0
while (j < n) {
k 0;
while (k < n) {
k = k + 2;
}
j j * 2;
}
i i / 2;
}
Express your answer using the asymptotic notation.
2. Master Theorem (Check the basic of solving recurrences of your own): Use The master
theorem applies to algorithms with recurrence relations in the form of
T (n) = aT (n=b) + O(nd)
for some constants a > 0, b > 1, and d >= 0
Find the asymptotic (big-O notation) running time of the following algorithms using
Master theorem if possible. State the runtime recurrence if it's not given, and if Master
theorem is applicable, explicitly state the parameters a, b and d. Otherwise, give a quick
reason that the recurrence relation is not solvable using Master theorem.
(a) An algorithm with the run-time recurrence:
T (n) = 3T (n=4) + O (n)
(b) An algorithm with the run-time recurrence:
T (n) = 8T (n=4) + O (n1:5)
(c) An algorithm solves problems by dividing a problem of size n into 3 sub-problems of
one-fourth the size and recursively solves the smaller sub-problems. It takes constant
time to combine the solutions of the sub-problems.
(d) An algorithm solves problems by dividing a problem of size n into 2n sub-problems of
half the size and recursively solves the smaller sub-problems. It takes linear time to
combine the solutions of the sub-problems.

(a) Write an algorithm to find out the (n+1)th Fibonacci term.
(b) Write an Iterative solution and find out the time complexity from your algorithm
(c) Write a recursive solution and solve using recursion tree and find out the asymptotic
notation.
