Theorem 1 (Master Theorem).
Let a ≥ 1 and b> 1 be constants, let f(n) be a function f: N→ R+, and let T(n) be defined on
the nonnegative integers by the recurrence
T(n)= aT(n/b) + f(n).
Then T(n) has the following asymptotic bounds:
1. if f(n) = O(nlogs a-E) for some constant e > 0, then T(n) = (nossa),
2. if f(n) = (nlos a) then T(n) = (nloga log n), and
3. if f(n) = N(n¹og a+s) for some e > 0 and if af (n/b) ≤df (n) for some constant d < 1 and
all sufficiently large n, then T(n) = (f(n)).
Use the Master Theorem above to solve the following recurrences when possible (note
that not every blank needs to be filled in in every problem):
