L-notation

Sign in to save

L-notation is an asymptotic notation analogous to big-O notation, denoted as L_n[\alpha,c] for a bound variable n tending to infinity. Like big-O notation, it is usually used to roughly convey the rate of growth of a function, such as the computational complexity of a particular algorithm.

L-notation is an asymptotic notation analogous to big-O notation, denoted as L_n[\alpha,c] for a bound variable n tending to infinity. Like big-O notation, it is usually used to roughly convey the rate of growth of a function, such as the computational complexity of a particular algorithm.

==Definition== It is defined as L_n[\alpha,c]=e^{(c+o(1))(\ln n)^\alpha(\ln\ln n)^{1-\alpha}}
