Question
Heaps and Bounds! Consider the following operation for a maximum heap:
removeMax: Remove and return the element whose key has maximum value from the
binary heap.
In class, we discussed how this operation can be performed in O(log, n) time for a binary
heap. Prove, for a binary heap, that any algorithm for the removeMax operation requires
N(log, n) operations in the worst case.
Hint: Prove the claim via reduction (using contradiction). Is there some problem you
could solve faster (than what we know to be impossible) if you could accomplish, obtaining
a o(log, n)-time algorithm in the worst case here?
