Problem
How do you go about analysing coin change recursive solution. i.e,
You can find the problem description and pseudo code here - http://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/Coin_Change#Recursive_Formulation
T(N,K) = T(N,K-1) + T(N-1,K) for K denominations that add up to amount N.You can find the problem description and pseudo code here - http://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/Coin_Change#Recursive_Formulation
Solution
A general method for solving recurrences of this form is generating functions. The exact solution also depends on the initial values. In your case, one possible solution is $T(n,k) = C 2^{n+k}$.
