In probability theory, this concept describes the convergence of a set of random variables to a corresponding set of constants.
In probability theory, this concept describes the convergence of a set of random variables to a corresponding set of constants. It was first introduced by the number theorist Paul Bachmann and popularized by Edmund Landau, after whom it is sometimes named. It is sometimes contrasted with related Omega and Theta systems, which have different rules for how functions are bounded asymptotically. Constant terms are eliminated because as N approaches infinity, they become negligibly small. For 10 points, name this system of notation, which in computer science describes the complexity of an algorithm, examples of which include log N for binary search and N squared for bubble sort.
