Assume that the complexity of a divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm is given by: +c T(n): = if n>1 if n = 1 where 'e' is a constant. Solve this recurrent problem for T(n) and express the run-time complexity of the algorithm using Big-0 notation. 5.3 Algorithm analysis (2 marks) Give the complexities of these three algorithms. In particular, give the proof of the complexity of the MergeSort algorithm.
