I have to compute the time complexity for this recurrence relationship:
T(n) = \begin{cases} c1, & \mbox{if } n\mbox{ = 1} \\ 8T(n/4) +n +c2, & \mbox{if } n\mbox{ > 1} \end{cases}
Can someone please show me how to do it using substitution method?
I know the final result but I don't know the steps of getting to it.
The result should be: \begin{array}{rcl} O(n^\frac{3}{2} ) \end{array}
Thank you!!
For simplicity let n be a power of 4 say n = 4^i then substitute this expression in the recurrence relation and use repeated substitution.
