QUESTION:

Ordering by asymptotic growth rates

a. Rank the following functions by order of growth; that is, find an arrangement \(g_1,g_2,...,g_{30}\) of the functions satisfying \(g_1=\Omega (g_2),g_2=\Omega (g_3),...,g_{29}=\Omega (g_{30})\). Partition your list into equivalence classes such that functions \(f(n)\) and \(g(n)\) are in the same class if and only if \(f(n)=\theta (g(n))\) .

\(\begin{array}{cccccc}
\lg \left(\lg ^{*} n\right) & 2^{\lg ^{*} n} & (\sqrt{2})^{\lg n} & n^{2} & n ! & (\lg n) ! \\
\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{n} & n^{3} & \lg ^{2} n & \lg (n !) & 2^{2^{n}} & n^{1 / \lg n} \\
\ln \ln n & \lg ^{*} n & n \cdot 2^{n} & n^{\lg \lg n} & \ln n & 1 \\
2^{\lg n} & (\lg n)^{\lg n} & e^{n} & 4^{\lg n} & (n+1) ! & \sqrt{\lg n} \\
\lg ^{*}(\lg n) & 2^{\sqrt{2 \lg n}} & n & 2^{n} & n \lg n & 2^{2^{n+1}}
\end{array}\)

b. Give an example of a single nonnegative function \(f(n)\) such that for all functions \(g(n)\) in part (a), \(f(n)\) is neither \(O(g(n)\) nor \(\Omega (g_\mathrm{i}(n))\).
