Some other thoughts on 4.3-6

I suspect this is just a technical problem.  The issue I encountered is this.

When I tried to hypothesis the form to be nlogn - clogn -dn -f,  but some positive just pop up.

Another method I tried is to make the assumption of N>17.  In that case,  nlog(n+17) will be smaller than nlog2n.  So I can always get back to a close form. But that turns out to make the expression too big.  

Looking up the web, nothing is really useful.  Sounds like I am on my own.  My guess is this involves the mechanical the proof and the proof of Master Theorem will likely give me some ideas.   I will wait before I look up the solutions.  (Let's not spoil it)
