Divide-and-conquer recurrences and the Akra-Bazzi theorem

A divide-and-conquer recurrence is a function T : ℕ → ℝ that satisfies a recurrence relation of the form T(n) = ∑_{i=0}^{k-1} a_i T(r_i(n)) + g(n) for large enough n, where r_i(n) is some function where ‖r_i(n) - b_i n‖ ∈ o(n / (log n)^2) for every i, the a_i's are some positive coefficients, and the b_i's are reals ∈ (0,1). (Note that this can be improved to O(n / (log n)^(1+ε)), this is left as future work.) These recurrences arise mainly in the analysis of divide-and-conquer algorithms such as mergesort or Strassen's algorithm for matrix multiplication. This class of algorithms works by dividing an instance of the problem of size n, into k smaller instances, where the i'th instance is of size roughly b_i n, and calling itself recursively on those smaller instances. T(n) then represents the running time of the algorithm, and g(n) represents the running time required to actually divide up the instance and process the answers that come out of the recursive calls. Since virtually all such algorithms produce instances that are only approximately of size b_i n (they have to round up or down at the very least), we allow the instance sizes to be given by some function r_i(n) that approximates b_i n.

The Akra-Bazzi theorem gives the asymptotic order of such a recurrence: it states that T(n) ∈ Θ(n^p (1 + ∑_{u=0}^{n-1} g(n) / u^{p+1})), where p is the unique real number such that ∑ a_i b_i^p = 1.

Main definitions and results

• AkraBazziRecurrence T g a b r: the predicate stating that T : ℕ → ℝ satisfies an Akra-Bazzi recurrence with parameters g, a, b and r as above.
• GrowsPolynomially: The growth condition that g must satisfy for the theorem to apply. It roughly states that c₁ g(n) ≤ g(u) ≤ c₂ g(n), for u between b*n and n for any constant b ∈ (0,1).
• sumTransform: The transformation which turns a function g into n^p * ∑ u ∈ Finset.Ico n₀ n, g u / u^(p+1).
• asympBound: The asymptotic bound satisfied by an Akra-Bazzi recurrence, namely n^p (1 + ∑ g(u) / u^(p+1))
• isTheta_asympBound: The main result stating that T(n) ∈ Θ(n^p (1 + ∑_{u=0}^{n-1} g(n) / u^{p+1}))

Implementation

Note that the original version of the theorem has an integral rather than a sum in the above expression, and first considers the T : ℝ → ℝ case before moving on to ℕ → ℝ. We prove the above version with a sum, as it is simpler and more relevant for algorithms.

TODO

• Specialize this theorem to the very common case where the recurrence is of the form T(n) = ℓT(r_i(n)) + g(n) where g(n) ∈ Θ(n^t) for some t. (This is often called the "master theorem" in the literature.)
• Add the original version of the theorem with an integral instead of a sum.

Definition of Akra-Bazzi recurrences

Smoothing function

We define ε as the "smoothing function" fun n => 1 / log n, which will be used in the form of a factor of 1 ± ε n needed to make the induction step go through.

This is its own definition to make it easier to switch to a different smoothing function. For example, choosing 1 / log n ^ δ for a suitable choice of δ leads to a slightly tighter theorem at the price of a more complicated proof.

This part of the file then proves several properties of this function that will be needed later in the proof.

noncomputable def AkraBazziRecurrence.smoothingFn (n : ℝ) : ℝ

The "smoothing function" is defined as 1 / log n. This is defined as an ℝ → ℝ function as opposed to ℕ → ℝ since this is more convenient for the proof, where we need to e.g. take derivatives.

This section shows the existence and uniqueness of this exponent p for any R : AkraBazziRecurrence, and defines R.asympBound to be the asymptotic bound satisfied by R, namely n^p (1 + ∑_{u < n} g(u) / u^(p+1)).

The sum transform

This section defines the "sum transform" of a function g as ∑ u ∈ Finset.Ico n₀ n, g u / u^(p+1), and uses it to define asympBound as the bound satisfied by an Akra-Bazzi recurrence.

Several properties of the sum transform are then proven.
