请问关于introduction to algorithm书中chapter 15中的问题
chapter 15中的第一节,assembly-line scheduling中的step 3,computing the fastest time中的前几段话我不是很明白,具体如下:
There is a problem with such a recursive algorithm: its running time is exponential in n. To see why, let ri(j) be the number of references made to fi[j] in a recursive algorithm. From equation (15.1), we have
(15.8)
From the recurrences (15.6) and (15.7), we have
(15.9)
for j = 1, 2, ..., n - 1.
这里面的references是指什么?为什么r1(n)=r2(2)=1?这个是指的什么?请高人指教
