It is a generalisation of the well-known Master Theorem for analysing the complexity of Divide \& Conquer algorithms. We also include a generalised version of the Master theorem based on the Akra--Bazzi theorem, which is easier to apply than the Akra--Bazzi theorem itself. Some proof methods that facilitate applying the Master theorem are also included. For a more detailed explanation of the formalisation and the proof methods, see the accompanying paper (publication forthcoming). \end{abstract} \tableofcontents \parindent 0pt\parskip 0.5ex \input{session} \bibliographystyle{abbrv} \bibliography{root} \end{document} %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:
