Suppose You Have Two Different Algorithms for Solving a Problem $n _ { , }$

question 33

Short Answer

Suppose you have two different algorithms for solving a problem. To solve a problem of size $n _ { , }$ the first algorithm uses exactly $n \sqrt { n }$ operations and the second algorithm uses exactly $n ^ { 2 }$ log $n$ operations. As $n$ grows, which algorithm uses fewer operations?

Definitions:

Total Current

The combined current that flows in an electrical circuit, which, in parallel circuits, is the sum of the individual currents through each component.

RLC Parallel Circuit

A circuit consisting of a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) connected in parallel.

Applied Voltage

The external voltage that is applied to an electrical device or circuit, which drives the current flow through it.

Bandwidth

The range of frequencies within a given band, particularly used in reference to the transmission capacity of a network or the passband of a filter.
