Like Big O Unit Notation, Big O Magnitude Notation refers to a notation used to express orders of magnitude.

Formal Definition for Functions[edit]

A function f: is considered to be f(n)=O(10k) for some fixed k+ if n0+ such that nn0:10kf(n)<10k+1

Formal Definition for Random Variables[edit]

A random variable X=O(10k) if P[10kX<10k+1]=1.
