Tree Recursion

• Consider the Fibonacci Number Sequence:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...

• This sequence is defined by the rule:

        /  0                     when n=0
fib(n)= |  1                     when n=1
        \  fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)   otherwise

• As code this is:

public int fib (int n) {
  int result;
  if (n<=0)
    result = 0;
  else if (n == 1)
    result = 1;
  else 
    result = (fib(n-1) + fib(n-2));
  return result;
}

Orders of Growth

• An important consideration in the comparison of different soluytions to problems is the complexity of the algorithms used.
• This complexity is measured on two important quantities:
  • The space requirements (space complexity) to represent all values used in the algorithm
  • The time requirements (time complexity) needed to perform all of the needed calculations

The BIG-O

Informal Definition

If function Est(n) times some integer constant, m, dominates funciton Time(n), then we say:

Time(n) = O(Est(n))

Algebraic Identities for Big-O

Assume c denotes a constant and that f and g are arbitrary functions

1. c * f = O(f) -- you can drop constant multipliers

17n = O(n)

25n² = O(n²)

99 = O(1)

1. 2 f + g = O(f), so long as f dominates g
