Get started for freeWrite an algorithm that searches a sorted list of \(n\) items by dividing it into three sublists of almost \(n / 3\) items. This algorithm finds the sublist that might contain the given item and divides it into three smaller sublists of almost equal size. The algorithm repeats this process until it finds the item or concludes that the item is not in the list. Analyze your algorithm and give the results using order notation.
Show that if \\[W(n) \leq \frac{(p-1)(p-2)}{2}+\frac{(n-p)(n-p-1)}{2}+n-1\\] then \\[W(n) \leq \frac{n(n-1)}{2} \quad \text { for } 1 \leq p \leq n\\] This result is used in the discussion of the worst-case time complexity analysis of Algorithm 2.6 (Quicksort).
Suppose that, even unrealistically, we are to search a list of 700 million items using Binary Search, Recursion (Algorithm 2.1). What is the maximum number of comparisons that this algorithm must perform before finding a given item or concluding that it is not in the list?
Use Mergesort (Algorithms 2.2 and 2.4 ) to sort the following list. Show the actions step by step. \(\begin{array}{llllllll}123 & 34 & 189 & 56 & 150 & 12 & 9 & 240\end{array}\)
Write a nonrecursive algorithm for Quicksort (Algorithm 2.6). Analyze your algorithm, and give the results using order notation.
