Chapter 9.6, Problem 9.13CP

Explanation of Solution

Complexity of an algorithm:

The complexity of an algorithm solves a computations problem by finding the number of basic steps required for an input.

Proof:

Statement: f(n)is in O(g(n))

Explanation:

Consider the two algorithms “F” and “G” can be compared for solving a problem which can be done by comparing their complexity functions f(n) and g(n) . These two complexity functions can be compared against the ratio f(n)g(n) .

The complexity functions can be compared if there exists a positive constant “K” such that,

f(n)g(n)Kforalln1

The algorithm “F” is not worse than “K” times “G” for large problems
