2、(1)Θ(西塔):紧确界。 相当于"="
(2)O (大欧):上界。 相当于"<="
(3)o(小欧):非紧的上界。 相当于"<"
(4)Ω(大欧米伽):下界。 相当于">="
(5)ω(小欧米伽):非紧的下界。 相当于">"
3、 (and thus the above properties apply with most combinations of o and O).
4、
- T(n) = O(n100)
- T(n) = O(n3)
- T(n) = Θ(n3)
The equivalent English statements are respectively:
- T(n) grows asymptotically no faster than n100
- T(n) grows asymptotically no faster than n3
- T(n) grows asymptotically as fast as n3.
