f(n) 的形式 vs 判定形势

但，此题型过于简单，一般不出现在考题中。

Let‘s set n = 2^m, so m = log(n)

T(n) = 2*T(n^(1/2)) + 1 =>

T(2^m) = 2*T(2^(m/2)) + 1 =>

S(M) = 2*S(M/2)) + 1

通过变量替换，变为了熟悉的、主定理能解决的 形式 => S(m) ~ O(m)

故，S(m) = T(log(n)) ~ O(log(n))

关键点：match 主定理（3）的条件。

a*f(n/b) <= c*f(n)  ->

3*f(n/4) <= c*f(n)  ->

3*(n/4)*log(n/4) <= c*n*log(n)  ->

3/4 * n*log(n/4) <= c*n*log(n)

可见，有c<1时，是满足的。

答案就是O(nlogn)

When f(x) = x*sqrt(x+1)

 这里的常数1是个tricky.

去掉它，x^(3/2)

变为x，sqrt(2)*[x^(3/2)]

可见，f(x)~Θ(x^(3/2))

T(n)=T(⌊n/2⌋)+T(⌊n/4⌋)+T(⌊n/8⌋)+n.

n+(7/8)*n+(7/8)^2 *n+(7/8)^3 *n+? 等比数列！

so we have a geometric series and thus，

for our upper bound.

In a similar way, we could count just the contribution of the leftmost branches and conclude that T(n)≥2n.

Putting these together gives us the desired bound, T(n)=Θ(n)
