Solve the recurrence relation: T (n) = T (n/2) + T (n/4) + T (n/8) + n. Use the substitution method, guess that the solution is T (n) = O (n log n)
Consider the following recurrence relation: T(0) = 1, T(1) = 5, T(n) = 4T(n − 1) + 5T(n − 2) for n ≥ 2 Use the guess and check method to guess a closed form for T(n) and then prove that it is a closed form for T(n) using induction.
(a) For each of the following recurrences, give an expression for theruntime T (n) if the recurrence can be solved with the Master Theorem.Otherwise, indicate that the Master Theorem does not apply.(i) T (n) = T (n/2) + T(n/2) + T(n/2) + n2(ii) T (n) = 0.5T (n/2)+ 1/n(iii) T (n) = 3T (n/3) + n(iv) T (n) = 4T (n/2) + nlogn
