The running time of an algorithm is given by:
T(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix} T(n-1)+T(n-2)-T(n-3), &\text { if } n>3\\ n, &\text{ otherwise}\end{matrix}\right.
Then what should be the relation between T(1),T(2),T(3), so that the order of the algorithm is constant?
T(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix} T(n-1)+T(n-2)-T(n-3), &\text { if } n>3\\ n, &\text{ otherwise}\end{matrix}\right.
Then what should be the relation between T(1),T(2),T(3), so that the order of the algorithm is constant?

Question 9 |
Suppose you want to move from 0 to 100 on the number line. In each step, you either move right by a unit distance or you take a shortcut. A shortcut is simply a pre-specified pair of integers i,j with i \lt j. Given a shortcut i, j if you are at position i on the number line, you may directly move to j. Suppose T(k) denotes the smallest number of steps needed to move from k to 100. suppose further that there is at most 1 shortcut involving any number, and in particular from 9 there is a shortcut to 15. Let y and z be such that T(9) = 1 + min(T(y), T(z)). Then the value of the product yz is_______.
