Title: Navigating the Complexity: Writing a Binary Search Research Paper

Embarking on the journey of writing a thesis can be likened to traversing through a dense forest with
only a dimly lit lantern to guide your path. Among the myriad of topics, the binary search algorithm
stands as a formidable challenge, requiring meticulous research, analysis, and presentation.

The process of crafting a binary search research paper demands a deep understanding of the
algorithm itself, its applications, and its significance in various domains. From the intricacies of its
implementation to its theoretical underpinnings, every aspect must be thoroughly examined and
articulated with precision.

One of the foremost challenges in writing such a paper is the need for comprehensive literature
review. Navigating through numerous scholarly articles, books, and research papers to gather relevant
information can be a daunting task. Moreover, synthesizing this vast array of knowledge into a
cohesive narrative that adds value to the existing discourse requires skill and expertise.

Another hurdle lies in the analysis phase. Delving into the complexities of the binary search
algorithm, deciphering its strengths, weaknesses, and potential optimizations demands a keen
analytical eye. Moreover, conducting empirical studies or experiments to validate theoretical claims
adds another layer of complexity to the research process.

Furthermore, articulating findings and insights in a clear, concise manner is paramount.

The representation of the binary search algorithm is: Binary Search Algorithm Binary Search
Follows Decrease and Conquer Paradigm. The first Most basic Algorithm which is quite famous and
is used widely is Binary Search Algorithm. Unfortunately, a recipe for a cake may not include
certain details. The first one is an iterative method and the second is recursion. We will compare both
the numbers with the desired numbers. With an array length, 8 binary search requires only four
guesses. Thus to find the maximum element, we will go to the right subtree every time until the
rightmost element is found i.e., the right child is null. Traditional iteration of the list will require you
to go through the list seven times in order to return the value 7. So, we can declare the function for
the binary search as BINARY-SEARCH(A, start, end, x). Each laboratory work creates an excellent
hands-on learning opportunity for students. We return the mid index if the required element is equal
to the middle element. When the tree won't have any node, the new node will be the root of the tree
and its parent will be NULL. Basic Types. Types like integers, real numbers, characters.
Unfortunately, I was rejected due to failure to attempt multiple questions from DSA. They have a
proven track record of being able to get everyone up and running with Microsoft Visual Basic - the
world's most popular Beginner Programmer's language. Sequential search can be implemented on
sorted and unsorted list, while binary search can be implemented only on sorted list. Given a node i
i.value is the stored object i.left and i.right point to other nodes All of i’s left children and grand-
children are less than i.value. Because binary search algorithm does not work for unsorted array or
list. But here our work intends to show an overview of comparison between three different types of
searching algorithms. We have tried to cover some technical aspects of Linear or Sequential search,
Binary Search and Interpolation Search. This occurs when the first midpoint selected is the target
value. As the list size increases, the time taken to search for a particular item decreases. We can write
this mathematically with the base-2 logarithm of n.). One possible way is to reduce the worst-case
time complexity to O(1); you may check if the target element is equal to the first or last element of
the array right in the beginning. Consider the following AVL Tree. 44. 17. 78. 32. 50. 88. 48. 62.

2001 Dan E. Binary Trees, Binary Search Trees. Trees. Linear access time of linked lists is prohibitive
Does there exist any simple data structure for which the running time of most operations (search,
insert, delete) is O(log N)?. Trees. A tree is a collection of nodes. He has expertise in languages such
as Java, JavaScript, etc. Feel free to reach out to us in the comments section if you find any bugs.
Binary search is also known as Logarithmic Search or Half-Interval Search. In fact, this is one of the
most popular ways to use binary.
The time complexity of the binary search algorithm is O(log n), where n is the number of items in the
list. Since Binary search is a quick way for searching through sorted databases, it is often used in
debugging. That was the day when I decided to explore more about DSA and at the same time, I
thought of sharing it with others which would, in turn, help me learn too. The searching area will
reduce ? ( ? n). 35 Binary Search Analysis The process of looking for middle point and reducing the
searching area to the left or right sublist will be repeated until the middle value is equal to the middle
value (search key is found) or the last value in sublist has been traverse. If binary search makes a
wrong guess, the portion of the array that contains reasonable guesses is reduced to half. For eg. if
the portion had 40 elements then the incorrect guess comes down to 20. The same steps are repeated
until the array size becomes 1 or 2 and the operation finally gets the desired element. Computers
know what to do just because of these algorithms. So, we can delete this node easily as discussed in
the first two cases. Again, if the middle value does not matches with the search key, the searching
area will be reduced to the left or right sub list only. Binary Trees, Binary Search Trees. Trees. Linear
access time of linked lists is prohibitive Does there exist any simple data structure for which the
running time of most operations (search, insert, delete) is O(log N)?. Trees. A tree is a collection of
nodes. Template 2 is a bit more advanced and used for certain types of problems. You can download
the paper by clicking the button above. So the second part of the list is discarded. Now, Stop. First,
the root node is inserted, then the next value is compared with the root node. Binary search is more
efficient than sequential search. The process is then repeated on the portion of the list that contains
the item until the item is found. Hence it increases the speed for larger data whereas the linear search
speed decreases. One possible way is to reduce the worst-case time complexity to O(1); you may
check if the target element is equal to the first or last element of the array right in the beginning. The
first one is an iterative method and the second is recursion. To find out more, including how to
control cookies, see here. Then, incorrect guesses reduce the size of the reasonable portion by
reducing it to 4 then 2 then 1. Range Sum Queries on Array in O(1) Time Complexity. This was my
first article and hence would request you to spare a minute more to like, share and comment below
with your honest and brutal feedback which will help me further improve my storytelling and my
articles. This time complexity is significantly better than the linear search algorithm, whose average
and worst-case time complexity is O(n). However, the same can be accomplished by binary search in
no more than 33 iterations. Jan Odijk Syntax Interface Meetings Utrecht, 2014-03-31. Overview.

Here, low is the index of starting element of the sub-array to be searched, high is the index of last
element of that sub-array and mid is the index of middle element of that sub-array. Analysis of
Algorithms. Given an algorithm, some key questions to ask are: How efficient is this algorithm.
There are many ways to search the desired data from a given list. Thus to find the maximum
element, we will go to the right subtree every time until the rightmost element is found i.e., the right
child is null. Basic searching techniques explained in this class are only suitable for small sets of data.
At least one parent or root node remains present all the time. No more guesses occur once the
reasonable portion comes down to just 1. 1 portion element can either be correct or incorrect and we
have reached our result. This would make the comparison between elements expensive, also
comparing the floating-point values are often more expensive than the comparison done between
integers or short strings. There is a database of information about the brightest stars in our galaxy in
the Tycho-2 star catalog. In other words, you should illustrate it entirely. This method works by
dividing the given list into smaller lists of the same size until we get the desired result. We return the
mid index if the required element is equal to the middle element. Let the variable minimum, which is
min, be the minimum reasonable guess for this round and the variable maximum, which is a, x, be
the maximum reasonable guess. If the list is not pre-sorted, binary search will not work. Divide and
conquer has always been a fantastic approach for solving complex problems. This also stands true for
data retrieval. Similarly, all the nodes are full, directing the far left. When we talk about removing the
left or right half of k, that doesn't necessarily mean deleting those values from the list. Basically,
binary search finds the middle of the list, asks “is the element I’m looking for larger or smaller than
this?” Then it cuts the search space in the list in half and searches only in the left list if the element is
smaller, and searches only in the right list if the element is bigger. The left subtree contains values
that are less than the root node. Sieve of Eratosthenes - Fastest Algorithm to Find Prime Numbers.
Here, the max and min values are used as the boundary condition. So the second part of the list is
discarded. Now, Stop. Faster in the process of searching, insertion and deletion. Let’s look at how to
analyze the maximum number possible for binary search. If the value is greater than root, it is added
to the right subtree, and if it is lesser than the root, it is added to the left subtree. However, the right
subtree contains a value that is greater than the root node. CS 3358 Data Structures. Trees. Linear
access time of linked lists is prohibitive Does there exist any simple data structure for which the

A node based binary tree where the further subtrees are also binary search tree It is unordered. Here,
low is the index of starting element of the sub-array to be searched, high is the index of last element
of that sub-array and mid is the index of middle element of that sub-array. Most importantly,
algorithms are easy to understand and don’t rely on any specific language and thus they are easily
readable. Providing a framework that offers feedback and support, this text challenges students to
exercise their creativity in both programming and analysis. No more guesses occur once the
reasonable portion comes down to just 1. 1 portion element can either be correct or incorrect and we
have reached our result. Binary Search. Able to analyze the efficiency of the searching technique.
Some problems can be implemented using multiple templates, but as you practice more, you will
notice that some templates are more suited for certain problems than others. We will compare both
the numbers with the desired numbers. This means that the binary search algorithm will be
ineffective on lists that are not sorted in ascending order. We turn over the middle card out of the
remaining 3 cards. Those 9 elements are filled with values as shown in the figure. Binary Search
Time Complexity ?Best case complexity- O(1) ?Average case complexity- O(log n) ?Worst-case
complexity- O(log n): Binary search space complexity: In the worst case, Binary search space
complexity is O(1). If I have already given you 26 and you tell me my number is higher and you
guess 79, and I tell you my number is lower, then only the numbers from 27 to 79 are the only
possible results. As you can see in the diagram that 19, 10 and 5 have no children. If you reach the
end, then you know the element is not found. Data Mining is the discovery of hidden knowledge,
unexpected patterns and new rules in large databases Automating the process of searching patterns in
the data. The algorithm uses a divide and conquer (or divide and reduce) approach to search. The
space complexity of binary search in the recursive method is O(log n). Print the value of that index
where the number is found. Binary search is also known as Logarithmic Search or Half-Interval
Search. Also, after deleting a root, we need to think about the root node. In a binary search
operation, a given array is divided into two halves and then check for the middle item. Since Binary
search is a quick way for searching through sorted databases, it is often used in debugging. Computer
programs are able to do the same thing as people, although they might be intuitively able to fill in the
gaps. Otherwise, if the value to be searched is larger, we will just search the right subtree. The
searching time for worse case is O(log2n). 39 Search Conclusion Searching is a process to allocate an
element in a list and return the index of the searched element. This is why this algorithm considers
the mid-value of the list as the average value of the list. That is, middle-1 replaces the value of the
last index. Binary search is more efficient than sequential search. Next article: What is Time
Complexity and Types of Time Complexities.
