The Stored Tree algorithm's runtime is bound by . This comes from solving the recurrence relationship of the recursive algorithm as follows.
Is the recurrence relationship of Stored Tree.
Change of variable to n.
This shows that the running time is bound by .
Below is a plot of the above data I collected on the running time of Stored Tree. These test were done on waldrog using the systems time command and reading off the real output. Plotted with the data points is the curve of with k set to 8.7E-6. The plot's y axis is on a logarithmic base 3 scale to show finer detail.
The curve of does not match the data points very well, I believe is because of two things. When n is small (n<8) does not account for startup time of the program, loading into memory operating systems calls, and ending time printing the data, and so on. When n is large (n>12) the tree takes a LOT of virtual memory space, virtual memory is slow and probably could account for the extra time on the running. Also the virtual memory plays another role in this algorithm, for n>13 the program can not be solved on waldrog because it runs out of virtual memory at about 150MB, any n greater than 13 in my tests made the virtual memory fail.
