Big o notation, Data Structure & Algorithms

Assignment Help:

This notation gives an upper bound for a function to within a constant factor. Given Figure illustrates the plot of f(n) = O(g(n)) depend on big O notation. We write f(n) = O(g(n)) if there are positive constants n0 & c such that to the right of n0, the value of f(n) always lies on or below cg(n).

Figure: Plot of  f(n) = O(g(n))

Mathematically specking, for a given function g(n), we specified a set of functions through O(g(n)) by the following notation:

O(g(n)) = {f(n) :  There exists a positive constant c and n0 such that 0 ≤  f(n) ≤ cg(n)

for all n ≥ n0 }

Obviously, we employ O-notation to describe the upper bound onto a function using a constant factor c.

We can view from the earlier definition of Θ that Θ is a tighter notation in comparison of big-O notation. f(n) = an + c is O(n) is also O(n2), but O (n) is asymptotically tight while O(n2) is notation.

While in terms of Θ notation, the above function f(n) is Θ (n). Because of the reason big-O notation is upper bound of function, it is frequently used to define the worst case running time of algorithms.
