Generating function of recursive algorithm with random subcalls
I was presented with the following algorithm. As input the algorithm gets an array of length $n \geq 0$. If $n \geq 2$ then for each $k \in \{1, 2, ..., n\}$ the algorithm calls itself recursively ...

How to state a recurrence that expresses the worst case for good pivots?
The Problem
Consider the randomized quicksort algorithm which has expected worst case running time of $\theta(nlogn)$ . With probability $\frac12$ the pivot selected will be between $\frac{n}{4}$ and $...
