Advanced Algorithms by Anupam Gupta
These all are very extensive notes on fairly advanced topics in algorithms—both theoretical and practical. Here we deal with discrete algorithms for minimum spanning trees, arborescences (directed spanning trees), dynamic algorithms for problems in graph connectivity, and the shortest path. Other topics discussed in the paper are the combinatorial, algebraic algorithms for graph matching techniques and their corresponding challenges developed within high-dimensional spaces via the technique of dimension reduction and streaming algorithms. Other topics but not triangulated within include the approximate max-flows, online learning, and interior-point methods. The notes thus present a framework in its totality for learning and analyzing super advanced algorithms and thus become a good source to glean insights for an ocean of problems in computer science.

Lecture Notes On Design And Analysis Of Algorithms
Dr. Subasish Mohapatra's Lecture Notes on Design and Analysis of Algorithms, published on August 2, 2022, is a big 125-pages book to cover many of the algorithmic core ideas. It contains the core ideas such as growth of functions and recurrences, with great detail on the solving of these via substitution, recursion trees, and the Master Method. Discussion of detailed Divide and Conquer algorithms, along with worst-case running times for problems such as merge sort, quick sort, and binary search, is also covered. Heaps, heap sort, priority queues, and sorting lower bounds are discussed. Detailed discussions of dynamic programming techniques cover the matrix chain multiplication problem, longest common subsequence problem, and general strategies. Discussions of robust algorithms based on dynamic programming that cover applications such as the activity selection problem, fractional knapsack problem, and Huffman coding. It also comprises graph algorithms, for instance: BFS, DFS, minimum spanning trees, Kruskal's, and Prim's.

Distributed Algorithms Lecture Notes
Prof. Nancy Lynch's Distributed Algorithms Lecture Notes has a great amount of detail concerning algorithms designed for distributed systems within which important aspects are that of multiple processors executing without centralized control. This paper investigates the model assumptions and organization strategies tasked with the two basic timing models. It also looks at synchronous, asynchronous, and partially synchronous models and synchronous networks. They discuss various models, thus enable the researchers to understand what one is actually up against and what strategies one can use in order to design algorithms working effectively in distributed environments. Hence, Lynch's notes are a must-have for any researcher who aims to know how to manage communication and coordination in distributed systems. Therefore, ideal for use by students and professionals dealing with distributed computing and networked systems.
