Question 2. Suppose there are 95 possible answers to some problem. For each of the following types of decision tree, find a reasonable lower bound for the number of decisions necessary to solve the problem:
a) binary decision tree,
b) ternary decision tree, c) four-way decision tree.
Question 3. The time complexity function T(n) is given by the recurrence relation T(n) = T(n − 1) + 3 and T(1) = 2. Can you express the function T(n) without the recurrence?
Question 4. Look at the following problem:
Problem: Find the smallest and largest keys in an arrays S of size n.
Input: positive integer n, array of keys S indexed from 1 to n
Output: variable small/large, whose values are the smallest and largest keys in S
Can you suggest an algorithm to solve the problem? How many comparisons does the algorithm make ?
Question 5. Give an algorithm for the following problem and determine its time com- plexity. Given a list of n distinct positive integers, partition the list into two sublists, each of size n/2, such that the difference between the sums of the integers in the two sublists is maximized. You may assume that n is a multiple of 2.
Question 6. Give an algorithm for the following problem. Given a list of n distinct positive integers, partition the list into two sublists, each of size n/2, such that the difference between the sums of the integers in the two sublists is minimized. Determine the time complexity of your algorithm. You may assume that n is a multiple of 2.
Question 7. Give an example of a problem that is:
(a) undecidable,
(b) apparently intractable,
(c) tractable,

(e) in NP.
(f) a proven intractable.
In each case clearly formulate your problem. Give a reason why your problem is tractable or why it is in P.
