When we have $F(n) = \Omega(H(n))$ and $G(n)=\mathcal{O}(H(n))$.

Can we prove that $G(n)/F(n) = \mathcal{O}(1)$?

I tired to use the definitions of $\mathcal{O}$ and $\Omega$ but all I ended up with were two inequalities that I couldn't use.

Thanks

    Could you share the inequalities you came up with?2012-09-10

What you likely found in the inequalities you mention is that we have $F(n)\geq C_F H(n)$ and $G(n)\leq C_G H(n)$. So $G(n)/F(n)\leq G(n)/(C_F H(n))\leq C_G H(n)/(C_F H_n)=C_G/C_F$ Is this the application of the definitional inequalities you hadn't yet seen?

    Happy to help! Incidentally, welcome to StackExchange-the thing to do here if you're satisfied with an answer is to click the check mark to the left to "accept" it. That way others don't come to the question thinking it still needs a solution.2012-09-10
