\item Question #2\
{\bf Answer.}\
Given T(1) = 1, T(n) = 3T(n/2) + n log n\
Let n = $2^k$, k = 0,1,2, ... , $\infty$\\
T($2^1$) = 3T(1) + 2 $\cdot$ log(2)\\
T($2^2$) = 3T($2^1$) + $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$)\
= 3(3T(1) + 2 $\cdot$ log(2)) + $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$)\
= $3^2$T(1) + 3 $\cdot$ 2 $\cdot$ log(2) + $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$)\\
T($2^3$) = 3T(4) + $2^3$ + log($2^3$)\
= 3($3^2$T(1) + 3 $\cdot$ 2 $\cdot$ log(2) + $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$)) + $2^3$ $\cdot$ log($2^3$)\
= $3^3$T(1) + $3^2$ $\cdot$ 2 $\cdot$ log(2) + 3 $\cdot$ $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$) + $2^3$ $\cdot$ log($2^3$)\\
T($2^4$) = 3T(8) + $2^4$ . log($2^4$)\
= 3($3^3$T(1)+$3^2$ $\cdot$ 2 $\cdot$ log(2) + 3 $\cdot$ $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$) + $2^3$ $\cdot$ log($2^3$)) + $2^4$ $\cdot$ log($2^4$)\
= $3^4$T(1) + $3^3$ $\cdot$ 2 $\cdot$ log(2) + $3^2$ . $2^2$ $\cdot$ log($2^2$) + 3 $\cdot$ $2^3$ $\cdot$ log($2^3$) + $2^4$ $\cdot$ log($2^4$)\\

T(2^k) = 3^k T(1) + \sum_{i=0}^{k - 1} 3^i \cdot 2^{k-i} \cdot
\log(2^{k-i})
]
[
= 3^k T(1) + \sum_{i=0}^{k - 1} 3^i \cdot 2^{k-i} \cdot (k-i) \cdot \log(2)
]
[
= 3^k T(1) + (2^k \cdot \log(2)) \sum_{i=0}^{k-1} 3^i \cdot 2^{-i} \cdot (k-i)

]
since
[ \sum_{i=0}^{k-1} ix^i = \frac{x-kx^k+(k-1)x^{k+1}}{(1-x)^2}
]
then
[ \sum_{i=0}^{k-1} i(\frac{3}{2})^i =
\frac{\frac{3}{2}-k(\frac{3}{2})^k+(k-1)(\frac{3}{2})^{k+1}}{
(1-\frac{3}{2})^2}
]
=
[
= 3^k T(1) + (2^k \cdot \log(2)) k \cdot \frac{(3/2)^k-1}{(3/2)-1} - \frac{\frac{3}{2}-k(\frac{3}{2})^k+(k-1)(\frac{3}{2})^{k+1}}{
(1-\frac{3}{2})^2}
]
=
[
= 3^k T(1) + 2k \log(2) \cdot 2^k \left( \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^k - 1 \right) - 6 + (-2k + 6) \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{k}
]
$n = 2^k$\
log both sides:\
$\log_2n = \log_22^k$\
= $\log_2n = k\cdot \log_22$\
= k = $\log_2n$\
By substituting:\
[
= 3^{\log_2 n} T(1) + 2 \log_2 n \log_2(2) \cdot n \left( \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{\log_2 n} - 1 \right) - 6 + \left(-2 \log_2 n + 6\right) \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{\log_2 n}
]

is it correct?
Solution
Your LaTeX document looks well-structured, but there are some mathematical and formatting issues that need addressing. Here are some key observations and suggestions:
-
Math Consistency: Ensure that all variables are consistently defined. For example, while you use in the recursion, make sure to clarify all instances of and the values you compute afterward.
-
Formatting: Consider adding additional space between sections for better readability. For example, adding
\\
after important equations could enhance clarity. -
Clarifying Steps: In your derivations, make sure each step is clear. It might help to provide comments or explanations in plain text between equations to ensure the reader follows your logic.
-
Final Form: Ensure that the final expression is clear. You seem to arrive at a final equation, but it's a bit cluttered. Breaking it down into more digestible parts could be beneficial.
-
Summation Notation: In your sum, clarify the bounds and what each term represents to avoid confusion. You might also want to ensure that the series you're using (like the geometric series) is referenced correctly.
-
Logarithmic Bases: Make sure to be consistent with your logarithmic bases. You switch between and ; define your base at the beginning to avoid confusion.
-
Reference to Variables: When substituting , be clear about what that implies for the other terms.
Here’s a brief adjusted version of part of your work for clarity:
latexT(2^k) = 3^k T(1) + \sum_{i=0}^{k - 1} 3^i \cdot 2^{k-i} \cdot \log(2^{k-i}) = 3^k T(1) + (2^k \cdot \log(2)) \sum_{i=0}^{k-1} 3^i \cdot (k-i)
And at the end when you take logarithms, clarify:
latex\log_2 n = k \cdot \log_2 2
Overall, the structure is solid, but clarity and detail will improve comprehension. If you have specific areas where you want more feedback or questions, feel free to ask!
Questions to Consider:
- Do you want to clarify any specific steps in your derivation?
- Would you like assistance with formatting improvements in LaTeX?
- Is there a particular theorem or method you're trying to apply that needs more explanation?
- Do you need help with summation techniques or series analysis?
- Would you like to verify the correctness of any specific parts of your calculations?
Tip:
When writing mathematical documents, always consider your audience's background. Clear explanations and logical flow enhance understanding significantly.
