Assume that f(n) = O(g(n)). Can g(n) = O(f(n))? Are there cases where g(n) is not O(f(n))? Prove your answers (give examples for the possible cases as part of your proofs, and argue the result is true for your example).

What can be said about the domain of the function f o g where f(y) = 4/(y-2) and g(x) = 5/(3X-1)? Express it in terms of a union of intervals of real numbers. Go to demos and obtain the graph of f, g and f o g. Find the inverse of the function f(x) = 4 + sqrt(x-2). State the domain and range of both the function and the inverse function in terms of intervals of real numbers. Go to...

For each of the following pairs of functions f and g (both of which map the naturals N to the reals R), state whether f is O(g), Ω(g), Θ(g) or “none of the above.” Prove your answer is correct. 1. f(x) = 2 √ log n and g(x) = √ n. 2. f(x) = cos(x) and g(x) = tan(x), where x is in degrees. 3. f(x) = log(x!) and g(x) = x log x.

Suppose G is a simple, nonconnected graph with n vertices that is maximal with respect to these properties. That is, if you tried to make a larger graph in which G is a subgraph, this larger graph will lose at least one of the properties (a) simple, (b) nonconnected, or (c) has n vertices. What does being maximal with respect to these properties imply about G?G? That is, what further properties must GG possess because of this assumption? In this...

Determine wether the statements are true or false 1. Suppose we have f(n) = nlgn , g(n) = 5n , then f(n) = O(g(n)). 2. Suppose we have f(n) = nn/4 , g(n) = n1/2lg4n , then f(n) = O(g(n)). 3. No comparison-based sorting algorithm can do better than Ω(n log n) in the worst-case 4. Quicksort running time does not depend on random shuffling.

discrete structures problems 1. A program P takes time proportional to logn where n is the input size. If the program takes 1 minute to process input of size 1,000,000, how many seconds does it take to process input of size 100? 2. When the best possible algorithm to solve a problem is exponential-time, or in general in nonpolynomial (not in O(np) for any p) we call such a problem ___________________. 3. f(x) is O(x 2) and g(x) is O(x...
