You are given an array of n integers. A majority element in an array is an element that appears more than n/2 times. Your task is to implement an efficient Divide and Conquer JAVA function to find the majority element in O(n log n) time. Show the time and space complexity of your solution.

Step 1
A majority element is one that appears more than n/2 times. Implement a Divide-and-Conquer Java function that finds the majority element in O(n log n) time (returning null if no majority exists). Show more…

Problem 3: (7 points) Design and analyze a divide and conquer algorithm that determines the minimum and maximum value in an unsorted list (array). a) Verbally describe and write pseudo-code for the min_and_max algorithm. b) Give the recurrence. c) Solve the recurrence to determine the asymptotic running time of the algorithm. How does the theoretical running time of the recursive min_and_max algorithm compare to that of an iterative algorithm for finding the minimum and maximum values of an array.

(a) Use a divide-and-conquer approach to devise a procedure to find the largest and next-to-largest numbers in a set of n distinct integers. (b) Give a recurrence relation for the number of comparisons performed by your procedure. (c) Solve the recurrence relation obtained in part (b).

Let A[1 ...n] be an array of n elements. We assume that no two elements of A are equal and A is not sorted. Let M be another given number. Our goal is to find the largest element x in A such that the sum of the elements of A less than x is smaller than M (i.e., Σ_{a ∈ A, a < x} a < M). We assume that the sum of all elements of A is larger than M. For example, suppose A contains seven numbers: {4, 5, 2, 3, 6, 8, 1}, and M = 10. Then, the largest such number x we are looking for is 4. Design an O(n) time algorithm for the problem by using the Prune-and-Search technique.
