DP Homework (graded)
For each problem below, do not write pseudocode. Explain with words why your algorithm is correct and analyse its running time.
Problem 1 (2.16 in DPV: finding x in an infinite array)
You are given an infinite array A[.] in which the first n entries contain different integers in sorted order and the rest are filled with ∞. You are not given the value of n. Describe an algorithm that takes as an input an integer x and finds a position in the array containing x, if such position exists, in O(log(n)) time.
Problem 2 (2.17 in DPV: fixed point)
Given a sorted array of n distint integers A = {a1,a2,…,an}, you want to find out whether there is an index i for which ai = i. Give a divide and conquer algorithm to solve this problems that runs in time O(log(n)).
