Problem Set 1 (due Thursday 95.01.26)


  1. Exercise 8.3-1, page 162.

  2. Exercise 8.4-1, page 167.
    (You have to solve the recurrence equation (8.1), page 163, where "max" is replaced by "min", and not the recurrence given page 157 under the heading "best-case partitioning". The latter is obtained by an informal, intuitive argument; by solving this exercise you will confirm that this intuition is correct.)
