正如已经指出的，除了null函数可能的例外，不可能有O(1/n)个函数，因为所花费的时间必须接近0。

当然，有一些算法，比如康拉德定义的算法，它们至少在某种意义上应该小于O(1)

def get_faster(list):
    how_long = 1/len(list)
    sleep(how_long)

If you want to investigate these algorithms, you should either define your own asymptotic measurement, or your own notion of time. For example, in the above algorithm, I could allow the use of a number of "free" operations a set amount of times. In the above algorithm, if I define t' by excluding the time for everything but the sleep, then t'=1/n, which is O(1/n). There are probably better examples, as the asymptotic behavior is trivial. In fact, I am sure that someone out there can come up with senses that give non-trivial results.

在数值分析中，近似算法在近似公差范围内应具有次常数的渐近复杂度。

class Function
{
    public double[] ApproximateSolution(double tolerance)
    {
        // if this isn't sub-constant on the parameter, it's rather useless
    }
}

这里有另一种方法来证明它:为了拥有一个函数，你必须调用这个函数，并且你必须返回一个答案。这需要固定的时间。即使余下的处理过程对较大的输入花费更少的时间，打印出答案(我们可以假设是单个位)至少需要常数时间。

这是一个简单的O(1/n)算法。它甚至做了一些有趣的事情!

function foo(list input) {
  int m;
  double output;

  m = (1/ input.size) * max_value;  
  output = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < m; i++)
    output+= random(0,1);

  return output;
}

O(1/n) is possible as it describes how the output of a function changes given increasing size of input. If we are using the function 1/n to describe the number of instructions a function executes then there is no requirement that the function take zero instructions for any input size. Rather, it is that for every input size, n above some threshold, the number of instructions required is bounded above by a positive constant multiplied by 1/n. As there is no actual number for which 1/n is 0, and the constant is positive, then there is no reason why the function would constrained to take 0 or fewer instructions.

我不懂数学，但这个概念似乎是寻找一个函数，需要更少的时间，你添加更多的输入?在这种情况下，怎么样:

def f( *args ): 
  if len(args)<1:
    args[1] = 10

当添加可选的第二个参数时，此函数会更快，因为否则必须赋值它。我意识到这不是一个方程，但维基百科页面说大o通常也应用于计算系统。

如果不管输入数据如何，答案都是一样的，那么你就有一个O(0)算法。

或者换句话说——在提交输入数据之前，答案就已经知道了 -这个功能可以优化-所以O(0)
