I have an algorithm whose time complexity is O(n^c), where c ≥ 4 (and c is an integer).
Per the Time Complexity's Wikipedia page's Table of common time complexities, they do not list this case.
What is the nickname for this time complexity?
Edit: I am interested in the name for keeping c as a variable (basically a natural number ≥ 4), not so much a particular c = 7 or c = 42.
CodePudding user response:
Generally, any n^c for integer c is called a polynomial time complexity. It matches with the polynomial class of problem as well and is denoted by P. Here is the time complexity class.
CodePudding user response:
Wikipedia lists quartic, quintic, sextic, septic for degrees 4 to 7, and says names for some higher degrees have been proposed but are rarely used.
