Note that the total time taken to complete a quicksort algorithm depends on the input array and the deployed partition strategy. •Worst-Case: If the partition process always takes the smallest or largest element as the pivot, the worst case of a quick-sort algorithm is considered. ...
Average Case Time taken by Quick Sort is given by the following recurrence relation: T(n)=T(k)+ T(n-k-1)+ θ(n) This result of this recurrence relation givesT(n) = nLogn.The average-case occurs when we get random unevenly balanced partitions. The time complexity is of the order ...
Yes, you may use the Master Theorem to show that the best-case running time of quicksort with pairwise distinct elements is $\Omega(n \log n)$. You can also solve the recurrence relation $T(n)=\min_{1 \leq q \leq n-1} (T(q)+T(n-q-1)+\Theta(n))$ to show the same re...

Consider a recurrence relation given as T(n) = T(n-1) + n2In this problem, a = 1, b = 1 and f(n) = O(nk) = n2, giving us k = 2. Since a = 1, case 1 must be applied for this equation. To calculate, T(n) = O(nk+1) = n2+1 = n3 Therefore, T(n) = O(n3)...
Therefore, the time complexity of the Quicksort algorithm in worst case is Alternatively, we can create a recurrence relation for computing it. In the worst case, after the first partition, one array will have element and the other one will have elements. Let’s say denotes the time comple...
