Geometrical Interpretation of the Master Theorem for Divide-and-conquer Recurrences

Data Structures and Algorithms 2016-09-08 v2

Abstract

We provide geometrical interpretation of the Master Theorem to solve divide-and-conquer recurrences. We show how different cases of the recurrences correspond to different kinds of fractal images. Fractal dimension and Hausdorff measure are shown to be closely related to the solution of such recurrences.
