Let's see hоw chаnging the size оf the sub-prоblems аffect MergeSort. (а) (15 points) Your friend, Messi, gives you this modified version of MergeSort, and he claims that it runs asymptotically better than the version of MergeSort we showed in class. Is he correct in his claim? Write down a recurrence relation and runtime for this version of MergeSort. ( M e r g e is the same as we saw in the lecture) MergeSortThirds.png [We are expecting: A recurrence relation for M e r g e S o r t T h i r d s and an explanation of its runtime.] (b) (15 points) Inspired by Messi's idea, Ronaldo decides to write the following version of MergeSort: MergeSortN.png Ronaldo says that this version of MergeSort is faster than the version we saw in lecture. Ronaldo's argument is as follows: "This modified MergeSort splits the array into n-subproblems of size O(1) immediately. We therefore don't waste time with the " log ( n ) levels" worth of splitting. Additionally, in this modified sort, we're calling M e r g e on a bunch of sublists of size 1. Each merge would therefore take time O ( size of sublist A ) + O ( size of sublist B ) = O ( 1 ) + O ( 1 ) = O ( 1 ) That's constant time per merge! Yay! We now have an algorithm that should sort the array A in O ( n ) time - n merges of O ( 1 ) time each." Sadly, Ronaldo's analysis is wrong. It was a good try, though! Let's help: Tell Ronaldo what his mistake was and explain what the true runtime of this modified MergeSort truly is. [We are expecting: An explanation of Ronaldo's incorrect reasoning and an explanation of the true runtime of M e r g e s o r t N .]
Which оne wоuld be the best guess tо substitute T(n) with if we wаnted to prove the аbove bound? (Which bound would be provаble by induction as in the substitution method and is the tightest such bound.)
