I've never seen this notation for complexity: Õ(n).
It comes up in the context of learning in stochastic algorithms.
Anyone know this notation? You can't exactly google this...
EDIT: SOLVED
I think people have pointed out the right answer below. In my case Õ() is used to hide an exponential growth of a tree.
It is shorthand for O(g(n) log^k g(n))
Actually, you can google this!
It is a variant of big-O that ignores logarithmic factors. See this wikipedia entry, which I found simply by googling that character and looking at the top entry.
