The master theorem always yields asymptotically tight bounds to recurrences from divide and conquer algorithms that partition an input into smaller subproblems of equal sizes, solve the subproblems recursively, and then combine the subproblem solutions to give a solution to the original problem. The time for such an algorithm can be expressed ...
In computer science, the Akra–Bazzi method, or Akra–Bazzi theorem, is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of the mathematical recurrences that appear in the analysis of divide and conquer algorithms where the sub-problems have substantially different sizes.

For this recurrence relation, the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences gives the asymptotic bound () = (). It follows that, for sufficiently large n , Karatsuba's algorithm will perform fewer shifts and single-digit additions than longhand multiplication, even though its basic step uses more additions and shifts than the ...
W will use the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences to analyze the running time. Remember that above we stated we choose n ≈ m / 2 {\displaystyle n\approx m/2} . We can write the recurrence relation :

It's a classic tale: You have last-minute guests coming over for dinner or a bake sale fundraiser you didn't find out about until the night before—and now you need to concoct some tasty treats ...
The closed form follows from the master theorem for divide-and-conquer recurrences. The number of comparisons made by merge sort in the worst case is given by the sorting numbers. These numbers are equal to or slightly smaller than (n ⌈lg n⌉ − 2 ⌈lg n⌉ + 1), which is between (n lg n − n + 1) and (n lg n + n + O(lg n)). [6]
