  1. How do O and Ω relate to worst and best case?

    The key takeaway for me is that, we can do worst-, best- case analysis on anything of the asymptotic bounded functions. To me, that shows the independence of Big O vs. worst case …

  2. What is the difference between a tight Big $O$ bound, a tight Big ...

    Jan 25, 2018 · (The asymptotic complexity of the worst case is Θ(n) Θ (n), though) For more reading on bounds with Landau ('big O O ') notation, see the reference question How does …

  3. When is a bound asymptotically tight? - Computer Science Stack …

    What does it mean that the bound $2n^2 = O(n^2)$ is asymptotically tight while $2n = O(n^2)$ is not? We use the o-notation to denote an upper bound that is not asymptotically tight. The …

  4. Explaining the relevance of asymptotic complexity of algorithms to ...

    In short asymptotic complexity is a relatively easy to compute approximation of actual complexity of algorithms for simple basic tasks (problems in a algorithms textbook). As we build more …

  5. Confusion about asymptotic notations in math and computer …

    Nov 27, 2022 · The last times i was searching a lot to understanding Big O notation or in general asymptotic notations concepts because i didnt hear about it or them before starting studying in …

  6. Which grows asymptotically faster, $\log \sqrt {n}$ or $4 \log n$?

    Mar 1, 2021 · The asymptotic growth of $4 \log n$ is referred to as $\Theta (\log n)$. You will have to look at the definition of asymptotic growth to see why that is the case, but intuitively, it is the …

  7. Arrange in increasing order of asymptotic complexity

    Oct 6, 2020 · I have the following functions that I need to rank in increasing order of Big-O complexity:

  8. Justification for neglecting constant factors in Big O

    Nov 23, 2019 · To rationalize how asymptotic notations ignore constant factors, I usually think of it like this: asymptotic complexity isn't for comparing performance of different algorithms, it's for …

  9. algorithms - How do I find time complexity of while loops?

    Dec 6, 2023 · The pattern in general is that loop count = lg (n)+1, where "lg" is read "log base 2", which means that the asymptotic time complexity is O (lg (n)) See for yourself with the …

  10. asymptotics - Solving or approximating recurrence relations for ...

    For non-decreasing sequences of naturals, every infinite subsequence has the same asymptotic growth as the original sequence.
