(Februar 2013) (Erfahren Sie, wie und wann Sie diese Vorlagennachricht entfernen können) In computer science, the Akra–Bazzi method, or Akra–Bazzi theorem, is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of the mathematical recurrences that appear in the analysis of divide and conquer algorithms where the sub-problems have substantially different sizes. It is a generalization of the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences, which assumes that the sub-problems have equal size. It is named after mathematicians Mohamad Akra and Louay Bazzi.[1] Inhalt 1 Formulierung 2 Beispiel 3 Bedeutung 4 Siehe auch 5 Verweise 6 External links Formulation The Akra–Bazzi method applies to recurrence formulas of the form[1] {Anzeigestil T(x)=g(x)+Summe _{i=1}^{k}a_{ich}T(b_{ich}x+h_{ich}(x))Quad {Text{zum }}xgeq x_{0}.} The conditions for usage are: sufficient base cases are provided {Anzeigestil a_{ich}} und {Anzeigestil b_{ich}} are constants for all {Anzeigestil i} {Anzeigestil a_{ich}>0} für alle {Anzeigestil i} {Anzeigestil 03} . In applying the Akra–Bazzi method, the first step is to find the value of {Anzeigestil p} wofür {Anzeigestil {frac {7}{4}}links({frac {1}{2}}Rechts)^{p}+links({frac {3}{4}}Rechts)^{p}=1} . In diesem Beispiel, {Anzeigestil p=2} . Dann, using the formula, the asymptotic behavior can be determined as follows:[3] {Anzeigestil {Start{ausgerichtet}T(x)&in Theta left(x^{p}links(1+int _{1}^{x}{frac {g(u)}{u^{p+1}}},duright)Rechts)\&=Theta left(x^{2}links(1+int _{1}^{x}{frac {u^{2}}{u^{3}}},duright)Rechts)\&=Theta (x^{2}(1+In x))\&=Theta (x^{2}Protokoll x).Ende{ausgerichtet}}} Significance The Akra–Bazzi method is more useful than most other techniques for determining asymptotic behavior because it covers such a wide variety of cases. Its primary application is the approximation of the running time of many divide-and-conquer algorithms. Zum Beispiel, in the merge sort, the number of comparisons required in the worst case, which is roughly proportional to its runtime, is given recursively as {Anzeigestil T(1)=0} und {Anzeigestil T(n)=Tleft(linker Stock {frac {1}{2}}nrightrfloor right)+Tleft(leftlceil {frac {1}{2}}nrightrceil right)+n-1} for integers {displaystyle n>0} , and can thus be computed using the Akra–Bazzi method to be {Anzeigestil Theta (Miete n)} .
