 There are cases where one encounters running times that are asymptotically smaller than linear. Since it takes linear time just to read the input, these situations tend to arise in a model of computation where the input can be "queried' indirectly rather than read completely and the goal is to minimize the amount of querying that must be done. Example, binary search algorithm -> running time of //O(log n)//.  There are cases where one encounters running times that are asymptotically smaller than linear.
