Big-Omega

Definition. f(n)=Ω(g(n))f(n) = \Omega(g(n)) means there exist a constant c>0c > 0 and a threshold n0n_0 such that for every n≥n0n \geq n_0, f(n)≥c⋅g(n)f(n) \geq c \cdot g(n): eventual domination from below.

It is Big-O with the inequality reversed; holding in both directions at once is Big-Theta. Defined in Lecture 9.
