Question
please answer with proper explanation and step by step solution.

Transcribed Image Text:4. Consider an algorithm that works as follows: Starting with an input of size n, it
divides the input into two or more groups, solves each group separately, and then
combines the answers from each group to form its output.
Suppose the algorithm creates k groups of sizes n₁,...,nk. Then it takes the
algorithm O(n, log ni) time to solve the ith group whose size is nį and O(n + k)
time to divide the input into k groups and combine the partial results to generate
the output.
a.
Determine an upper bound on the running time of the whole algorithm
in terms of n. Note that k and the n's are not fixed values but depend instead
on the input.
b.
Now redo the question when it takes the algorithm O(n) time to solve
the ith group of size n; and O(n²+ k) time to divide the input into k and
groups
assemble the partial results to form the output.

They have a limited number of staff (including a receptionist, a cook, and a housekeeper) since they have limited rooms available. If foreign travelers are looking for a place to stay a few nights while exploring the wonderful wine farms and hiking trails in Stellenbosch, they need to check availability on the website. If there is space, they must call reception to book a room. Orice they arrive, they check in at the front desk. In the evenings, they have the option to enjoy an assortment of dishes, prepared by a cook. Guests can also request for the room to be cleaned by a housekeeper in the mornings, while they are out and about exploring. Once their stay is over, they can check out with the receptionist. If a guest can no longer make their stay, they have the option to cancel their booking 24 hours before. Draw the use…arrow_forwardDefine Working Set. What is the context?
