Get started for freeUse the divide-and-conquer approach to write an algorithm that finds the largest item in a list of \(n\) items. Analyze your algorithm, and show the results in order notation.
Use Binary Search (Algorithm 2.1 ) to search for the integer 120 in the following list (array) of integers. Show the actions step by step. $$\begin{array}{lllllllll} 12 & 34 & 37 & 45 & 57 & 82 & 99 & 120 & 134 \end{array}$$
When a divide-and-conquer algorithm divides an instance of size \(n\) of a problem into subinstances each of size \(n / c\), the recurrence relation is typically given by \\[ \begin{array}{l} T(n)=a T\left(\frac{n}{c}\right)+g(n) \quad \text { for } n>1 \\ T(1)=d \end{array} \\] where \(g(n)\) is the cost of the dividing and combining processes, and \(d\) is a constant. Let \(n=c^{k}\) (a) Show that \\[ T\left(c^{k}\right)=d \times d^{k}+\sum_{j=1}^{k}\left[a^{k-j} \times g\left(c^{j}\right)\right] \\] (b) Solve the recurrence relation given that \(g(n) \in \Theta(n)\)
Suppose that on a particular computer it takes \(12 n^{2}\), \(\mu\) s to decompose and recombine an instance of size \(n\) in the case of Algorithm 2.8 (Strassen). Note that this time includes the time it takes to do all the additions and subtractions. If it takes \(n^{3} \mu\) s to multiply two \(n \times n\) matrices using the standard algorithm, determine thresholds at which we should call the standard algorithm instead of dividing the instance further. Is there a unique optimal threshold?
Use the divide-and-conquer approach to write a recursive algorithm that finds the maximum sum in any contiguous sublist of a given list of \(n\) real values. Analyze your algorithm, and show the results in order notation.
