Notation for asymptotic growth
| letter | bound | growth |
|---|---|---|
| (theta) Θ | upper and lower, tight[1] | equal[2] |
| (big-oh) O | upper, tightness unknown | less than or equal[3] |
| (small-oh) o | upper, not tight | less than |
| (big omega) Ω | lower, tightness unknown | greater than or equal |
| (small omega) ω | lower, not tight | greater than |
[1] Big O is the upper bound, while Omega is the lower bound. Theta requires both Big O and Omega, so that's why it's referred to as a tight bound (it must be both the upper and lower bound). For example, an algorithm taking Omega(n log n) takes at least n log n time but has no upper limit. An algorithm taking Theta(n log n) is far preferential since it takes AT LEAST n log n (Omega n log n) and NO MORE THAN n log n (Big O n log n).SO
[2] f(x)=Θ(g(n)) means f (the running time of the algorithm) grows exactly like g when n (input size) gets larger. In other words, the growth rate of f(x) is asymptotically proportional to g(n).
[3] Same thing. Here the growth rate is no faster than g(n). big-oh is the most useful because represents the worst-case behavior.
In short, if algorithm is __ then its performance is __| algorithm | performance |
|---|---|
| o(n) | < n |
| O(n) | ≤ n |
| Θ(n) | = n |
| Ω(n) | ≥ n |
| ω(n) | > n |
