Question
Recurrence relations are commonly used to analyze the time complexity of Divide and Conquer algorithms. The Master Theorem is a tool for solving these. What does a typical recurrence relation for Divide and Conquer look like?
Solution
The general form of a recurrence relation for Divide and Conquer algorithms that the Master Theorem can solve is T(N) = aT(N/b) + f(N), where: Â Â Â Â a is the number of subproblems. Â Â Â Â N/b is the size of each subproblem. Â Â Â Â f(N) is the cost of dividing the problem and combining the subproblem solutions.
