Question is to find the runtime $T(n)$ of following problem by solving the recurrence.
$T(n)=16\cdot T(\frac{n}{4}) + n!$.
I went through the following theory.
If the recurrence relation is of the form $T(n)=aT(\frac{n}{b}) + \Theta(n^k(\log n)^p)$,where $a \geq 1$ , $b \gt 1$, $k \ge 0$ and $p$ is a real number, then:
If $a \gt b^k$, then $T(n)=\Theta(n^{\log_b a})$.
If $a=b^k$
- If $p \gt -1 $, then $T(n)=\Theta(n^{\log_b a}(\log n)^{p+1})$.
- If $p=-1 $ then $T(n)=\Theta((n^{\log_b a}\log \log n)$.
- If $p \lt -1 $, then $T(n)=\Theta(n^{\log_b a})$.
If $a \lt b^k$
- If $p \ge 0 $, then $T(n)=\Theta(n^k(\log n)^p)$.
- If $p \lt 0 $, then $T(n)=O(n^k)$.
Now I want to know how do I compare the second terms of the the equations ($n!$ and $\Theta(n^k(\log n)^p) $) to obtain $k$ so that I can check which of the above case holds true ?
