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.

Lecture Notes On Design And Analysis Of Algorithms
Lecture Notes on Design and Analysis of Algorithms by Mr. S.K. Sathua, Dr. M.R. Kabat, and Dr. R. Mohanty, published November 14, 2020, is an 80-page document that provides a vital summary of some of the significant notions of algorithms. It first of all provides the basics of the growth of functions and recurrences, while techniques for the solution of these recurrences include substitution and recursion trees. These notes introduce the Master Method for analyzing divide and conquer algorithms and provide worst-case analysis of merge sort, quick sort, and binary search. Other topics it covers are heaps, heap sort, priority queues, and sorting lower bounds, thus proving very valuable for comprehending core principles in algorithm analysis and design.

Data Structures And Algorithms by Sugih Jamin
The book Data Structures and Algorithms by Sugih Jamin covers all the basic concepts of Computer Science in a very balanced way. It involves topics such as linked lists, stacks, and queues to more advanced topics such as binary search trees, heaps, and balanced search trees. Jama's text emphasizes an implementation perspective and algorithmic patterns, which will facilitate a more effective way of understanding and applying the concepts presented. This book will be very useful for the students and professionals who want to establish a sound foundation in data structures and algorithms by providing a solid theoretical background supported by practical examples that explain how problems are solved.

The lecture notes on Approximation Algorithms by Shuchi Chawla focus on techniques of designing algorithms that produce near-optimal solutions to complex optimization problems for which finding an exact solution is computationally infeasible. These lecture notes cover general underlying techniques of approximation algorithms, comprising basic building blocks and the foundation needed to deal with problems which are difficult to solve exactly due to computational complexity. These notes by Chawla provide an outline of various methods for approaching different optimization problems and ways of solving them when exact algorithms are not practical. Further, this resource is likely to be extremely helpful with respect to devising and applying approximation algorithms returning good solutions within a reasonable amount of time; hence, this is a must for scholars and practitioners faced with hard optimization problems.
