Comparing Asymptotic Notations

Overview of Asymptotic Notations

In algorithm analysis, asymptotic notations describe the growth rates of functions as input size becomes very large. Each notation serves a specific purpose in bounding or comparing functions:

  1. Big-O Notation (O) – Defines an upper bound.
  2. Big-Omega Notation (Ω) – Defines a lower bound.
  3. Big-Theta Notation (Θ) – Describes a tight (exact) bound, covering both upper and lower bounds.
  4. Little-o Notation (o) – Describes a function that grows strictly slower than another. 5
