First, it is useful to think of this as a set of functions when doing "O arithmetic", as in "(1+o(1))g(n)" or "n^{(O(1))}". Also, it would help the lower bound issues by writing "f(n) \not\in O(g(n))", and saving the Omega notation for the few cases where we need it as it is now.<br /><br />On the other hand most of us are already used to "f(n)=O(g(n))", and it is not as if as we are anywhere near the level of notational abuse of, say, Quantum Field Theory...<br /><br /> - Eldar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-1104940543676797502005-01-05T09:55:00.000-06:002005-01-05T09:55:00.000-06:00How is f(n) = O(g(n)) nice clear unambiguous?
