To illustrate the execution of our improved algorithm, Figure 4.12 provides a recursion trace of the computation power(2. 13). return 64 a: 64 a: 2 = 8192 Figure 4.12: Recursion trace for an execution of power(2, 13). To analyze the running time of the revised algorithm, we observe that the expo- nent in each recursive call of function power(x,n) is at most half of the preceding exponent. As we saw with the analysis of binary search, the number of times that we can divide n in half before getting to one or less is 0(logn). Therefore, our new formulation of the power function results in 0(log n) recursive calls. Each individ- ual activation of the function uses 0(1) operations (excluding the recursive calls), and so the total number of operations for computing power(x,n) is 0(logn). This is a signicant improvement over the original 0(n)-time algorithm. The improved version also provides signicant saving in reducing the memory usage. The rst version has a recursive depth of 0(a), and therefore 0(n) activation records are simultaneous stored in memory. Because the recursive depth of the improved version is O(log :1), its memory usages is 0(log n) as well. Assuming it is possible to sort n numbers in 0(nlognl time, show that it is possible to solve the three-way set disjointness problem in 0(nlognl time. Bob built a Web site and gave the URL only to his n friends, which he numbered from 1 g. He told friend number 5; that he/ she can visit the Web site at most g' times. Now Bob has a counter, C, keeping track of the total number of visits to the site (but not the identities of who visits). What is the minimum value for C such that Bob can know that one of his friends has visited his/her maximum allowed number of times? Describe a recursive algorithm for finding the maximum element in a g- guence, S, of n elements. What is your running time and space usage?
