What if the recurrence is T(n) = 2T(n-1) +1 ? Still Use substitution method to find the time complexity

 

1
n=0
T(n)=
T(n-1) + 1
n>0
So, the recurrence is T(n)=T(n-1) + 1
--[eq.1]
We can solve this if we know what is T(n-1)
Since, T(n)=T(n-1) +1
T(n-1) = T(n-2) +1
So, we can substitute T(n-2) +1 in place of T(n-1). So, the next equation is
T(n)=T(n-2) + 1 + 1
T(n) =T(n-2) + 2
F[eq.2]
Transcribed Image Text:1 n=0 T(n)= T(n-1) + 1 n>0 So, the recurrence is T(n)=T(n-1) + 1 --[eq.1] We can solve this if we know what is T(n-1) Since, T(n)=T(n-1) +1 T(n-1) = T(n-2) +1 So, we can substitute T(n-2) +1 in place of T(n-1). So, the next equation is T(n)=T(n-2) + 1 + 1 T(n) =T(n-2) + 2 F[eq.2]
