Solving the reccurence method by using substitution












0












$begingroup$


I am having trouble in understanding this example(as the attached the picture below). I basically have 2 questions which these questions are related to each other.




  1. Is T(N) for N = 1 must equal to 1 for any reccurences case in substitution method by using induction(in basis step)?

  2. If it is not, then why in the example is equal to 1?
    Because if I put N = 1 to the
    >> T(N)=2T(N/2)+N the result is not equal to 1 instead of 2.


Can someone explain? Example of attached picture

    No, it doesn't have to be $1.$ This is the problem statement. It might be anything.

    No, not at all. This is the data for the problem to be solved. We have a function $T$ that obeys the two equations equations given, and we want to find an explicit formula for $T$.

    @saulspatz Ah I see. I am actually use this example to solve other reccurence problem which only has 1 equation with similar problem. That is why I am confused by this example but thanks for your explanation, indeed.
