2-1 Insertion sort on small arrays in merge sort Although merge sort runs in (n lg n) worst-case time and insertion sort runs in (n²) worst-case time, the constant factors in insertion sort can make it faster in practice for small problem sizes on many machines. Thus, it makes sense to coarsen the leaves of the recursion by using insertion sort within merge sort when Chapter 2 Getting Started subproblems become sufficiently small. Consider a modification to merge sort in which n/k sublists of length k are sorted using insertion sort and then merged using the standard merging mechanism, where k is a value to be determined. a. Show that insertion sort can sort the n/k sublists, each of length k, in ☺(nk) worst-case time. b. Show how to merge the sublists in Ⓒ(n lg(n/k)) worst-case time. c. Given that the modified algorithm runs in ☺(nk + n lg(n/k)) worst-case time, what is the largest value of k as a function of n for which the modified algorithm has the same running time as standard merge sort, in terms of -notation? d. How should we choose k in practice?

Case Study 1 Problem: Merge Sort Merge Sort follows the rule of Divide and Conquer to sort a given set of numbers/elements, recursively, hence consuming less time. Merge sort runs in O(n*log n) time in all the cases. Two functions are involved in this algorithm. The merge() function is used for the merging two halves and the mergesort() function recursively calls itself to divide the array until the size becomes one. Use the array below to perform a Merge Sort. Show all necessary workings. {75, 22, 65, 97, 35, 56, 18, 89} Case Study 2 Problem: Hashing Hashing is a technique to convert a range of key values into a range of indexes of an array. Load Factor is a measure of how full the hash table is allowed to get before its capacity is automatically increased which may cause a collision. When collision occurs, there are two simple solutions: Chaining and Linear Probe. In what order could the elements have been added using the output below and given the following hash table implemented…

Rank SortWrite an efficient parallel program that reads n integers from any input file and implements rank sort using p processors (p << n). Assume n is divisible by p.Given n integers stored in an array, rank sort computes rank of every a[j] as follows: Rank a[j] = no. of array elements that are ≤ a[j] for k = 0, 1, 2 … j-1       + no. of array elements that are < a[j] for k = j+1, j+2, j+3,… n – 1 Note: Every a[j] is compared with all array elements.

AssuAssume we want to analyze empirically 4 variants of the Quicksort algorithm by varying the selection of the pivot and the recursive call as follows: ● Try the following values when selecting a pivot: - Pick the last element as pivot - Pick a random element as pivot ● Do not make a recursive call to QuickSort when the list size falls below a given threshold, and use Insertion Sort to complete the sorting process instead. Try the following values for the threshold size: - Log2(N) - Sqrt(N) Therefore, you are asked: a. (12 points) Write the java code for the 4 Quicksort implementations. b. (5 points) Write a driver program that allows you to measure the running time in milliseconds of the 4 implementations for N = 10000, 20000, 40000, 80000 and 160000. For each data size N, generate a random list of N random integers ranging from 1 to 107 and use the same list to measure the running time of the 4 implementations. Present the results in the following table:me we want to analyze…
Bubble sort pseudocode: Bubblesort (A, n) // A is array, n items to sort For i = n-1 to 1 For j = 1 to i If A[j] < A[j+1] Swap (A[j], A[j+1]) (A) Determine the big-O running time (tight bound) of bubble sort in the left column. Show your derivation. This pseudocode assumes the array starts at index 1. Count comparisons as the critical operation. Your solution should count the exact number of comparisons as a function of n (number of items being sorted). In converting your formula for number of comparisons to a closed-form formula (as opposed to a summation formula), you do not need to show the derivation (such as writing the summation twice and dividing by two), though it is okay to do that. You do need to show the closed-form formula for exact number of comparisons, before simplifying it to a big-O representation. As a reference, study the stairs examples in the book. See figure 1.2, pg. 20. (B) Prove that f(n) = 1000n5 + 20000n2 + 32 is O(n6 ); Is this a tight upper bound? Why…
