-You are given two sorted arrays of integers A and B of size m and n respectively. Describe a divide andconquer algorithm that takes O(logk) time for computing the k th smallest element in the union of thetwo arrays. Assume that the integers in both arrays are distinct, and no integers in A appear in B (and viceversa). Explain carefully why your algorithm takes O(logk) time. Hint: The k – th smallest element in theunion of the two arrays has to be contained in A[1...k] and B[1...k].

The objective of the question is to find an efficient algorithm to find the kth smallest element in…

Algorthim of how to find the largest element missing in an unsorted array of n positive integers and the running time of the algorthim is in O(n). Example of this is that the n=6 array C= [5,90,8,6,26,9] The largest element missing in the array is 7
Suppose you have m sorted arrays, each with n elements, and you want to combine them into a single sorted array with mn elements. 1. If you do this by merging the first two arrays, next with the third, then with the fourth, until in the end with the last one. What is the time complexity of this algorithm, in terms of m and n? 2. Give a more efficient solution to this problem, using divide-and-conquer. What is the running time?
Question A: Mapping. The two-sum problem is a popular algorithm problem. Given an array of integers and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to the target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice. For example, suppose we have an array arr = [1,10,100]. If the target is 11, you should return [0,1] because arr[0] + arr[1] = 1+ 10 = 11. If the target is 101, you should return [0,2] because arr[0] + arr[2] = 1+ 100 = 101. Complete this problem in O(n). Hint: using a hash table.
Let A be an array of n integers: (a) Write a pseudo code for a divide-and-conquer algorithm that computes the MAX and MIN values in array A . (b) Write the recurrence for this algorithm. (c) Solve the recurrence using the substitution method.
The algorithm below searches for the maximum in an input array A. Assume A is a random sequence containing n distinguishable real numbers, what is the probability for line #4 to be executed exactly once? (The phrase "random sequence" here means the n numbers can appear in any order with equal chance.) mymax(A, n) { 1: max = A[1]; 2: for i = 2:n 3: if A[i] > max 4: max = A[i); 5: end; 6: end; 7: return max; }
