Question
Transcribed Image Text:Problem 2. Consider the algorithm below for checking whether a string represented in an array A of n
characters is a palindrome. A palindrome is defined as a word that is spelled the same forward and backward
(e.g. rotor, kayak).
CHECK-PALINDROME (A[1:n]):
1. If n = 0 or n = 1, return True.
2. Otherwise, if A[1] A[n] and CHECK-PALINDROME (A[2: n-1]) returns True, return True.
3. Return False.
We analyze CHECK-PALINDROME in this question.
Transcribed Image Text:Write a recurrence for this algorithm and solve it to obtain a tight upper bound on the worst case
runtime of this algorithm. You can use any method you like for solving this recurrence.

Step 1
Worst case: The worst case runtime of an algorithm refers to the maximum amount of time the algorithm can take to solve a problem of size n. It is usually expressed as a function of n, denoted by T(n).
For example, if we have an algorithm for sorting an array of n elements, the worst-case runtime would be the maximum amount of time the algorithm can take to sort an array of size n. This would depend on the specific algorithm and the properties of the input array.
Analyzing the worst-case runtime of an algorithm is important for understanding its performance and scalability. It allows us to predict how the algorithm will perform on larger input and to compare different algorithms for the same problem.

- You solve a non-singular system of 10,000 linear equations with 10,000 unknowns using the Gauss-Jordan algorithm without pivoting with single precision numbers and arithmetics on a computer that natively can do single precision operations very fast, but can operate in double and half precision as well. Your solution has a residual infinity-norm that is unacceptably large. In which order should you apply the following strategies to lower the residual norm? If a strategy is not / no longer helpful, do not list it as an option. a) use half precision numbers and arithmetics instead of single precision; b) use double precision numbers and arithmetics instead of single precision; c) use partial pivoting; d) use pivoting when encountering a zero in the pivot position.arrow_forwardThere is a building of 100 floors.

- To have random-access lookup, a grid should have a scheme for numbering the tiles.For example, a square grid has rows and columns, which give a natural numberingfor the tiles. Devise schemes for triangular and hexagonal grids. Use the numberingscheme to define a rule for determining the neighbourhood (i.e. adjacent tiles) of agiven tile in the grid. For example, if we have a four-connected square grid, wherethe indices are i for rows and j for columns, the neighbourhood of tile i, j can bedefined asneighbourhood(i, j) = {i ± 1, j,i, j ± 1}arrow_forwardThere is a building of 100 floors.
