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.

Advanced Algorithms by BMS College of Engineering

This PDF deals with some advanced topics in the design of algorithms, focusing on Dynamic Programming. The application domains of DP are discussed and cover classic problems, including Matrix Chain Multiplication, that is, finding an optimal order to multiply many matrices, and Rod Cutting, which is just a typical 4-inch rod problem. Its notes include insights into the steps of DP, its recursive tree structures, and problem-solving through the bottom-up approach. The wide de-balcony of these topics helps the reader understand how DP can be applied to a variety of optimization problems and demonstrates both theoretical and practical aspects of algorithm design.

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.

Approximation Algorithms

Approximation Algorithms

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.
