Finding lower bound based on solved recurrence relation

36 Views Asked by At

I have a recurrence tree for the relation of $$T(n)=T(\sqrt{n}) + T(n-\sqrt{n}) + O(n),$$

which solves to $O(n+n\sqrt{n})$. I'm trying to use what I have from this to provide a lower bound on the running time.

What's the best way to tackle this?
