• Calculation of T(n):
Assume n = 2k,
T(n)
= 2T(n/2)+1
= 2(2T(n/4)+1)+1
= 4T(n/4)+2+1

A general divide-and-conquer
algorithm
Step 1: If the problem size is small, solve this
problem directly; otherwise, split the
original
problem into 2 sub-problems
with equal
sizes.
Step 2: Recursively solve these 2 sub-problems
by applying this algorithm.
Step 3: Merge the solutions of the 2 subproblems into a solution of the original
problem.
Time complexity of the general
algorithm
• Time complexity:
T (n)=
2T (n/2)+ S (n)+ M (n)
b
where S(n) : time for splitting
M(n) : time for merging
b : a constant
c : a constant
• e.g. Binary search
• e.g. quick sort
• e.g. merge sort
,nc
,n<c
Divide and Conquer
• Divide-and-conquer method for algorithm design:
– Divide: if the input size is too large to deal with in a
straightforward manner, divide the problem into two or
more disjoint subproblems
– Conquer: use divide and conquer recursively to solve the
subproblems
– Combine: take the solutions to the subproblems and
“merge” these solutions into a solution for the original
problem
Recurrences
• Running times of algorithms with Recursive calls
can be described using recurrences
• A recurrence is an equation or inequality that
describes a function in terms of its value on
smaller inputs

if n 1
T (n)
num _pieces T ( n / subproblem _size_factor ) dividing com bining if n 1
• Example: Merge Sort

if n 1
T (n)
2T ( n / 2) ( n ) if n 1
Solving Recurrences
• Repeated substitution method
– Expanding the recurrence by substitution and noticing
patterns
• Substitution method
– guessing the solutions
– verifying the solution by the mathematical induction
• Recursion-trees
• Master method
– templates for different classes of recurrences
Repeated Substitution Method
• Let’s find the running time of merge sort (let’s
assume that n=2b, for some b).

Observe a pattern and write how your expression looks
after the i-th substitution
– Find out what the value of i (e.g., lgn) should be to get
the base case of the recurrence (say T(1))
– Insert the value of T(1) and the expression of i into
your expression
Integer Multiplication
• Algorithm: Multiply two n-bit integers I and J.
– Divide step: Split I and J into high-order and low-order bits
I Ih 2
n/2
J Jh2
n/2

Jl
– We can then define I*J by multiplying the parts and adding:
I * J (Ih 2
n/2
Il ) * (J h 2
IhJh 2 IhJl 2

n/2
Jl)
Il J h 2

Il J l
– So, T(n) = 4T(n/2) + n, which implies T(n) is O(n2).
– But that is no better than the algorithm we learned in grade
school.

– So, T(n) = 3T(n/2) + n, which implies T(n) is O(nlog23), by the Master
Theorem.
– Thus, T(n) is O(n1.585).

Find m ,the median of medians
Find the sets L and R
• Compare the n-1 elements with the median m and find two sets L and
R such that every element in L is smaller than m and every element in
R is greater than m.
m
L
3n/10<L<7n/10
R
3n/10<R<7n/10
Description of the Algorithm step
• If n is small, for example n<6, just sort and return the k the smallest
number.(time- 7)
• If n>5, then partition the numbers into groups of 5.(time n)
• Sort the numbers within each group. Select the middle elements (the
medians). (time- 7n/5)
• Call your "Selection" routine recursively to find the median of n/5
medians and call it m. (time-Tn/5)
• Compare all n-1 elements with the median of medians m and determine
the sets L and R, where L contains all elements <m, and R contains all
elements >m. Clearly, the rank of m is r=|L|+1 (|L| is the size of L) (timen)
Contd….
• If k=r, then return m
• If k<r, then return k th smallest of the set L .(time T7n/10)
• If k>r, then return k-r th smallest of the set R.
Recursive formula
• T (n)=O(n) + T(n/5) +T(7n/10)
We will solve this equation in order to get the complexity.
We assume that T (n)< C*n
T (n)= a*n + T (n/5) + T (7n/10)
<= C*n/5+ C*7*n/10 + a*n
<= C*n
if 9*C/10 +a <= C
Which implies C >= 10*a
Hence 10*a*n satisfies the recurrence and so T(n) is O(n)
2-D ranking finding
• Def: Let A = (a1,a2), B = (b1,b2). A dominates B iff a1> b1
and a2 > b2
• Def: Given a set S of n points, the rank of a point x is the
number of points dominated by x.

rank(A)= 0 rank(B) = 1 rank(C) = 1
rank(D) = 3 rank(E) = 0

Divide-and-conquer 2-D ranking finding
Input: A set S of planar points P1,P2,…,Pn
Output: The rank of every point in S
Step 1: (Split the points along the median line L into A and B.)
a. If S contains only one point, return its rank as 0.
b. Else, choose a cut line L perpendicular to the x-axis such that n/2
points of S have x-values L (call this set of points A) and the
remainder points have x-values L(call this set B). Note that L is a
median x-value of this set.
Step 2:
Find ranks of points in A and ranks of points in B, recursively.
Step 3:
Sort points in A and B according to their y-values.
Scan these points sequentially and determine, for each point in B, the
number of points in A whose y-values are less than its y-value. The
rank of this point is equal to the rank of this point among points in B,
plus the number of points in A whose y-values are less than its y-value.

the X-axis which separates the set of points into
two subsets SLand SR , each of which consisting of
n/2 points.
Step 2: Recursively find the maximal points of SL

• Output: The distance between two closest points.
Step 1: Sort points in S according to their y-values
and x-values.
Step 2: If S contains only two points, return infinity
as their distance.
Step 3: Find a median line L perpendicular to the Xaxis to divide S into two subsets, with equal sizes,

Step 4: Recursively apply Step 2 and Step 3 to solve
the closest pair problems of SL and SR. Let dL(dR)
denote the distance between the closest pair in SL
(SR). Let d = min(dL, dR).
Step 5: For a point P in the half-slab bounded by L-d
and L, let its y-value by denoted as yP . For each
such P, find all points in the half-slab bounded by
L and L+d whose y-value fall within yP +d and yP d. If the distance d between P and a point in the
other half-slab is less than d, let d=d . The final

[assume this can be done in constant time]
• return a0+x*Eval(A’,x)

• Given coefficients (a0,a1,a2,…,an-1) and (b0,b1,b2,…,bn-1) defining two

Polynomial Multiplication
• Given a set of n points in the plane with distinct x-coordinates, there
is exactly one (n-1)-degree polynomial going through all these points.
• Alternate approach to computing p(x)q(x):
– Calculate p() on 2n x-values, x0,x1,…,x2n-1.
– Calculate q() on the same 2n x values.
– Find the (2n-1)-degree polynomial that goes through the points
{(x0,p(x0)q(x0)), (x1,p(x1)q(x1)), …, (x2n-1,p(x2n-1)q(x2n-1))}.
• Unfortunately, a straightforward evaluation would still take O(n2)
time, as we would need to apply an O(n)-time Horner’s Rule
evaluation to 2n different points.
• The “magical” FFT will do it in O(n log n) time, by picking 2n points
that are easy to evaluate…

The FFT is an efficient algorithm for computing the DFT
The FFT is based on the divide-and-conquer paradigm:
–
If n is even, we can divide a polynomial
into two polynomials
and we can write
The FFT Algorithm
The running time is O(n log n). [inverse FFT is similar]
