Trigonometric constants called twiddle factors are used in the Cooley–Tukey FFT algorithm of this type.
The asymptotic runtime of algorithms of this type are calculated in the Akra–Bazzi theorem, which generalizes the master theorem. Static padding can be used to enhance a matrix multiplication algorithm of this type named for Strassen. Trigonometric constants called twiddle factors are used in the Cooley–Tukey FFT algorithm of this type. (*) Mergesort and quicksort differ in whether the "divide" or "conquer" steps of this type of algorithm are trivial. Algorithms of this type are proven correct via induction from base cases. The factorial and Fibonacci functions can be implemented using functions of this type with tail calls. For 10 points, name this property of a function that calls itself.
The asymptotic runtime of algorithms of this type are calculated in the Akra–Bazzi theorem, which generalizes the master theorem.
