[algogeeks] recurrence equation

2008-06-04 Thread Ajinkya Kale
How do we solve recurrence relations of the form: T(c) = T( | c - 2^ceil(log_2(c)) | ) + O( 2^ceil(log_2c) ) What will be the approximate outcome of this equation if not exact ? -- Ciao, Ajinkya --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are

looks like | c - 2^ceil(log_2(c)) | will be 0 if log is base 2. Obviously I am missing something, could you throw some light on that expression? On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Ajinkya Kale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do we solve recurrence relations of the form: T(c) = T( | c -

Its ceiling so it will not always be zero. basically ceil(log_2(c)) gives the no. of bits of C. eg: C = 7 then ceil(log_2(c)) = 3 so | c - 2^ceil(log_2(c)) | = | 7-2^3| = 1 On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 2:31 PM, Nat Padmanabhan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: looks like | c - 2^ceil(log_2(c)) | will be
