algorithm - What does O (log n) mean exactly? - Stack Overflow
Feb 22, 2010 · O(log N) basically means time goes up linearly while the n goes up exponentially. So if it takes 1 second to compute 10 elements, it will take 2 seconds to compute 100 elements, 3 seconds to compute 1000 elements, and so on. It is O(log n) when we do divide and conquer type of algorithms e.g binary search.
algorithm - Is log(n!) = Θ(n·log(n))? - Stack Overflow
First, you take the integral of log(x) from 1 to n it is n*log(n) -n +1. This proves a tight upper bound since log is monotonic and for every point n, the integral from nto n+1of log(n)> log(n) * 1. You can similarly craft the lower bound using log(x-1), as for every point n, 1*log(n)> the integral from x=n-1to nof log(x).
Examples of Algorithms which has O (1), O (n log n) and O (log n ...
O(logn) - finding something in your telephone book. Think binary search. O(n) - reading a book, where n is the number of pages. It is the minimum amount of time it takes to read a book. O(nlogn) - cant immediately think of something one might do everyday that is nlogn...unless you sort cards by doing merge or quick sort!
Difference between O (logn) and O (nlogn) - Stack Overflow
Mar 16, 2020 · O (..) describes the complexity of your algorithm. To be easy, you can imagine as the time to take to finish you algorithm for an n input, if O (n) it will finish in n seconds, O (logn) will finish in logn seconds and n*logn seconds for O (nlogn). O (1) means the cost of your algorithm is constant no matter how big n is. – Khoa Nguyen.
(log (n))^log (n) and n/log (n), which is faster? - Stack Overflow
Feb 9, 2016 · f (n) grows faster than g (n) if and only if f (en) also grows faster than g (en) since exp is strictly increasing to infinity (prove it yourself). Now f (en) = nn and g (en) = en / n, and you can quote the known results. edited Apr 30, 2010 at 21:17. answered Apr 30, 2010 at 20:53.
What is O (log (n!)), O (n!), and Stirling's approximation?
Jul 19, 2022 · By Stirling's approximation, log(n!) = n log(n) - n + O(log(n)) For large n, the right side is dominated by the term n log (n). That implies that O (log (n!)) = O (n log (n)). More formally, one definition of "Big O" is that f (x) = O (g (x)) …
Why is $\log (n!)$ $O (n\log n)$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
One idea to prove the claim : $$\log n! =\sum_{k=1}^n \log k \leq \sum_{k=1}^n \log n=n\log n$$ The other approach would be :
Difference between O(n) and O(log(n)) - which is better and what ...
Apr 29, 2012 · O(logn) means that the algorithm's maximum running time is proportional to the logarithm of the input size. O(n) means that the algorithm's maximum running time is proportional to the input size. basically, O(something) is an upper bound on the algorithm's number of instructions (atomic ones). therefore, O(logn) is tighter than O(n) and is also ...

Jan 8, 2016 · Now, you asked about their meaning in the context of asymptotic behaviour and, specifically, Big-O notation. Below follows a note regarding seeing research articles state that the time complexity of an algorithm is log(n²), which is, in the context of Big-O notation, somewhat of a misuse of the notati
n*log n and n/log n against polynomial running time
For many algorithms, it sometimes happens that the constants are different, causing one or another is faster or slower for smaller data sizes, and are not as well-ordered by algorithmic complexity. Having said that, if we only consider the super-large data sizes, ie. which one eventually wins, then O (n^f) is faster than O (n/log n) for 0 < f < 1.
