Master Theorem Calculator
子问题数 a
缩减因子 b(T(n) = a·T(n/b) + f(n))
f(n) = n^p 的指数 p(1 表示 n、1.5 表示 n^1.5、99 表示指数级)

原理:主定理比较递归功 f(n) 与叶子功 n^(log_b a) 的增速——f 更小则叶子主导(情形 1),同阶则每层均摊(情形 2),更大且满足正则条件 a·f(n/b) ≤ c·f(n) 则根主导(情形 3)。

步骤:① 输入 a、b 与 f(n) = n^p 的指数 p;② 读临界指数 log_b(a) 与情形判定;③ 取解。

示例:a = 2、b = 2、p = 1 时 log₂2 = 1 与 p 相等,情形 2,解 Θ(n log n)——归并排序与快速排序的平均情形;a = 3、b = 2、p = 1 时临界指数 1.584962500721,情形 1,解 Θ(n^1.585)——Karatsuba 乘法。

注意事项:主定理只覆盖 f(n) 为多项式型(或与 n^crit 差出多项式因子)的情形,p 介于 crit 与 crit+ε 之间时需要 Akra-Bazzi 等扩展工具;情形 3 还需验证正则条件。
