Starvation:

  • The earlier requests are not satisfied because of the upcoming new requests. This problem is called as starvation.
  • Starvation occurs only in Shortest-Seek-Time-First (SSTF) algorithm.

Starvation in SSTF:

  • SSTF serves the requests based upon the shortest distance from the pending requests.

Prove for each pair of expression f(n) and g(n) whether f(n) is big O, little o Ω,ω or Θ of g(n). Use limits to find these. For each case it is possible that more than one of these conditions is satisfied:1. f(n) =log(n2^n), g(n) = log(sqrt(n)2^(n^2))2. f(n) =nsqrt(n) +log(n^n), g(n) =n + sqrt(n)logn
