Please solve using iterative method: Solve the following recurrences and compute the asymptotic upper bounds. Assume that T(n) is a constant for sufficiently small n. Make your bounds as tight as possible. a. T(n) = T(n − 2) + √n b.T(n) = 2T(n − 1) + c
4. Practice with the iteration method. We have already had a recurrence relation ofan algorithm, which is T(n) = 4T(n/2) + n log n. We know T(1) ≤ c.(a) Solve this recurrence relation, i.e., express it as T(n) = O(f(n)), by using the iteration method.Answer:(b) Prove, by using mathematical induction, that the iteration rule you have observed in 4(a) is correct and you have solved the recurrence relation correctly. [Hint: You can write out the general form of T(n) at the iteration step t, and prove that this form is correct for any iteration step t by using mathematical induction.Then by finding out the eventual number of t and substituting it into your generalform of T(n), you get the O(·) notation of T(n).]

Consider an n by n matrix, where each of the n2 entries is a positive integer. If the entries in this matrix are unsorted, then determining whether a target number t appears in the matrix can only be done by searching through each of the n2 entries. Thus, any search algorithm has a running time of O(n²). However, suppose you know that this n by n matrix satisfies the following properties: • Integers in each row increase from left to right. • Integers in each column increase from top to bottom. An example of such a matrix is presented below, for n=5. 4 7 11 15 2 5 8 12 19 3 6 9 16 22 10 13 14 17 24 1 18 21 23 | 26 | 30 Here is a bold claim: if the n by n matrix satisfies these two properties, then there exists an O(n) algorithm to determine whether a target number t appears in this matrix.
