1. You, Alice and Bob are working on recursive search algorithms and have been studying avariant of binary search called trinary search. Alice has created the following pseudocodefor this algorithm:TSearch(A[a...b], t)If a > b return -1Let p1 = a + Floor((b - a)/3)If A[p1] = t return p1If A[p1] > t return TSearch(A[a...p1-1],t)Let p2 = a + Ceiling(2(b - a)/3)If A[p2] = t return p2If A[p2] > t return TSearch(A[p1+1...p2-1],t)Return TSearch(A[p2+1...b],t)EndTSearcha) State a recurrence relation that expresses the number of operations carried out bythis recursive algorithm when called on an input array of size n.b) Bob has heard that trinary search is no more efficient than binary search whenconsidering asymptotic growth. Help prove him correct by using induction to showthat your recurrence relation is in Θ(log2 n) as well.i. Split the tight bound into and upper (big-O) and lower (big-Ω).ii. For each bound select a function from Θ(log2 n) to use in your proof, likea log2 n or a…
The bubble sort algorithm discussed in class is used to sort the following sequence of integers: 2 16 38 9 4 14 How many passes must the algorithm perform to guarantee the entire sequence is sorted? What is the list obtained after the first pass? What is the list obtained after the third pass? What is the list obtained after the final pass?
We talked about the trade-off between using sequential search on an unsorted list as opposed to sorting the list and then using binary search. If the list size is n = 9,000, about how many worst-case searches must be done before the second alternative is better in terms of number of comparisons? (Hint: Let p represent the number of searches done.) Use selection search to sort the binary search list.
a. Write a version of the sequential search algorithm that can be used to search a sorted list. (1, 2) b. Consider the following list: 2, 20, 38, 41, 49, 56, 62, 70, 88, 95, 100, 135, 145 Using a sequential search on ordered lists, that you designed in (a), how many comparisons are required to determine whether the following items are in the list? (Recall that comparisons mean item comparisons, not index comparisons.) (1, 2) 2 57 88 70 135 Write a program to test the function you designed. Note: Have the function,seqOrdSearch, return -1 if the item is not found in the list. (return the index of the item if found).
3. Show how the binary search algorithm searches for 25 in the sorted listbelow: 4 6 17 25 32 39 41 43 45 49 let i = be the first number j = be the last number m = be the middle number I need to see how this is done and how the numbers narrow down to 25. Please break this down in described steps. I'm really confused.
(b) Now assume that one is given another list Bn = {bi}ni=1 of n distinct positive integers whosemedian mB is already known. Develop an algorithm that returns the sum of the twoelements with value closest to mB, such that one of them is greater than mB and the otheris lower than mB. Although sorting Bn would yield a quick solution, we will see later onthat this is a exhorbitantly slow process and one can solve the problem without sortingBn in singnificantly faster time. Hence, in your solution, Do Not Sort Bn and propose asolution that goes without Sorting. (c) State a loop invariant for the algorithm you proposed in part (b) above.(d) Prove the loop invariant you proposed in part (c) above.
