            Abstract : 
The theory of algorithms complexity is of great importance in both theoretical and applied computer science. One of its main topics is the study of the recurrence relations as a way of representing algorithms complexities. In this paper we propose three variants of the Master Theorem, easier to apply than the standard variant. We also provide proofs for the proposed results and a comparative discussion.
