Prove by induction $T(n) = T(\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor)+n^2 \in \Theta (\log_2 n)$

Text of the problem: Solve the following recurrence equation and prove it by applying the principle of induction: $T(n) = \begin{cases} 3, \ n \le 2 \\ T(\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor)+n^2, \ n \ge 3 \en …

Determine the time complexity of repeated logarithm until not greater than 1

t <- n while t>1 do t <- log_2(t) I tried to do it this way: $f^\text{(1)}(t)=\log_2(t) \\ f^\text{(2)}(t)=\log_2\log_2(t) = \log_2^{(2)}(t) \\f^\text{(3)}(t) = \log_2^{(3)}(t) \\ f^\ …

Determine the time complexity of repeated logarithm until not greater than 1

I got it: this algorithm has a nearly-constant complexity, specifically the complexity is $\Theta(\log^{*}(n))$ where $\log^{*}(n) \le 5 \ \forall n \le 2^{16}$
