Note that if A2f>0 (f is strictly convex) then all the inequalities in the last proof are tight, and the decomposition that achieves the minimum in is unique.

Balancing Is Not Always Good (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of recurrence relations that arise within divide and conquer algorithms, challenging the commonly held notion known as the "Balancing Principle." The author meticulously examines scenarios where the principle stands valid, discerning that it holds true when the function representing the cost of combining solutions, denoted as f, exhibits convexity. However, when f demonstrates concavity, an optimal solution is achieved by deliberately introducing imbalance. The author meticulously formulates recurrence relations to express the time complexity of divide and conquer algorithms, establishing a functional equation framework for analysis. Through the study of convex and concave functions, the book illuminates the conditions under which the Balancing Principle remains valid. Expanding on this, the author presents a strategy for solving recurrence relations involving concave functions, thereby revealing that the optimal strategy in such cases involves unbalancing rather than maintaining equal-sized subproblems. This book significantly contributes to the theoretical understanding of algorithm analysis, particularly in the context of divide and conquer approaches. Its insights challenge conventional wisdom and provide valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners seeking to optimize the performance of algorithms.
