Fundamentals of Algorithms with Applications

Michael T. Goodrich's Fundamentals of Algorithms with Applications gives good coverage to algorithmic principles and their application. It covers growth functions, basic data structures, sorting, selection, dynamic programming, graph algorithms-the principles of algorithm design. Advanced topics such as NP-completeness, approximation algorithms, and randomized algorithms are also explored. Goodrich's book is well-recognized for its lucid explanations of the exercises on these complex topics to make them understandable and lively. Theoretically sound, with practical applications, this book suits both students and professionals in developing problem-solving skills and computational understanding.

Lecture Notes on Design and Analysis of Algorithms

These ecture notes give a comprehensive introduction to the basic techniques in the design and analysis of algorithms. It covers major methodologies, including greedy methods, which build up solutions piece by piece; dynamic programming (DP), which breaks down problems into simpler subproblems, solves them, and memorizes their solutions; and backtracking, which incrementally generates candidates for solutions and discards those that cannot satisfy criteria. It also discusses the method of Branch and Bound, where all branches on a solution space are systematically explored until the best possible solution is obtained. These methods are crucial in the design of nice algorithms with a view to efficiency, and they form the basis of complex computational problems that require solutions.

Distributed Algorithms Lecture Notes

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.
