Question 1: Setting Up and Solving Recurrences

Consider the python-like pseudocode below

def div_and_conquer_fun(a):
    # a is an array of size n
    n = length(a)
    if n == 0:
        return 0
    if n == 1: 
        return a[1]
    # 1. Divide into 3 parts
    a1 = a[1 ... n//3]
    a2 = a[n//3+1 ... 2*n//3]
    a3 = a[2*n//3+1 ... n]
    # note // denotes integer division a//b := floor(a/b)
    (b1, b2) = coalesce_arrays_into_two(a1, a2, a3)
    # note b1, b2 are arrays of size n//4 each.
    c1 = div_and_conquer_fun(b1)
    c2 = div_and_conquer_fun(b2)
    return c1 + c2 // Theta (1) time
  1. The algorithm first divides an array of size n into 3 roughly equal parts.
  2. Next, it uses the function coalesce_arrays_into_two(a1, a2, a3) that runs in Θ(n)Θ(n) time, returning two arrays b1 and b2 of size n4n4 each.
  3. The function is then recursively called on b1 and b2.
  4. Finally, the result is summed up and returned.

Write down a recurrence relation for the running time of the divide and conquer function above. Use master method to solve the recurrence: write down which case of the master method and the result.

Question 2(a): Counting Dominances

Suppose you are given two sorted arrays aa and bb of the sizes mm and nn, respectively. A “dominance” of aa over bb is a pair of indices (i,j)(i,j) such that a[i]>b[j]a[i]>b[j]. Note that ii is an index of array aa and jj must be an index of array bb.

Write a brute force algorithm that counts the number of dominances of aa over bb that runs in Θ(n2)Θ(n2) time.

#Answer 2(a):
def count_dominances_brute_force(a, b):
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()
    

Question 2(b): Counting Dominances

However, the brute force algorithm is suboptimal. Design a Θ(n)Θ(n) algorithm to count the number of dominances. Do this by modifying the merge algorithm we studied as part of merge sort. Instead of merging the two sorted arrays, count the number of dominances.

#Answer 2(b):
def count_dominances(a, b):
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()

Question 2(c): Counting Dominances

Explain the logic behind your solution to Question 2(b) briefly (5 lines).

Question 3(a): Finding a Fixed Point.

A fixed point of an array AA, if it exists, is an index ii such that A[i]=iA[i]=i. Given a sorted array AA of distinct integers, return the index of the fixed point if one exists, or otherwise, return -1 to signal that no fixed point exists. Your algorithm must be as efficient as possible.

#Answer 3(a)
def find_fixed_point(a):
 # YOUR CODE HERE
 raise NotImplementedError()

Question 3(b):

Explain your solution to the problem briefly and derive its running time complexity.

Question 3(c): Finding a Fixed Point Again.

Given a sorted array AA of distinct natural numbers, return the index of the fixed point if one exists, or otherwise, return -1 to signal that no fixed point exists. Your algorithm must be as efficient as possible.

#Answer 3(c)
def find_fixed_point_natural(a):
    # YOUR CODE HERE
    raise NotImplementedError()

Question 3(d)

Explain your solution to the problem briefly and derive its running time complexity. (Hint: Your algorithm should be quicker than your algorithm for part (a).)
