Design & Analysis of Algorithm (CSC-321) : Mona Leeza, Computer Sciences Department Bahria University (Karachi Campus)

This document provides an introduction to the Design & Analysis of Algorithm course. The key points are: - The course will cover mathematical tools for analyzing algorithm time and space complexity, sorting algorithms, dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, and graphs. - Students will learn strategies for designing algorithms like brute force, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and backtracking. - Algorithms will be analyzed based on their time and space complexity to determine efficiency. The goal is to design efficient algorithms that are in the polynomial time class.

Text Book
 Introduction to Algorithms, Thomas H. Cormen,
Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein , 2012. 3rd Edition, MIT
Press.
Course Outline---
 Four major sections
 Study of mathematical tools for analysis of
algorithms (Time and Space Complexity analysis)

problem as case study for designing and analyzing
algorithms.
 Dynamic Programming, Greedy strategy and

Definition: Algorithm
 An algorithm in any well defined computational
procedure that take some value, or set of values as
input and produces some value or set of values as
output
 An algorithm is a sequence of computational steps
that transform the input into output
Sequence of
Input(s) computational Output(s)
steps

Why Algorithm
Algorithm and Programming

 A correct understanding of algorithms is essential


for correct programming (Designing)
 Algorithm is a mathematical entity (Analysis)
 Algorithm is independent of a specific
programming, machine or compiler
 An algorithm is purely based on mathematical
theory because we always use mathematics as a
tool to analyze the algorithm
Algorithm and Programming---
 An algorithm always based on use of a good
data- structure.
 It is a fact that use of efficient algorithms and good

data structures is the core approach in computer


science.
 Problem solution ----- is called algorithm

 Solution Implementation ---- is called Programming


Analyzing Algorithms
 How to judge an algorithm to be efficient.
 We will measure algorithms in terms of
computational resources
 Running Time---- Time complexity
 Memory---- Space complexity
 An algorithm is understandable by human and not
by machine.
Model of Computation
 A mathematical machine that runs out algorithms
 This machine has a single CPU.
 It is generic machine.
 This model is called RAM (Random Access Machine)
 RAM
 Infinite memory
 Instructions will be executed one-by-one
 Each instructions will perform some mathematical operation on
only two values.
Designing Strategies
 Brute force algorithms
(exhaustive search, try all possibilities)
 Divide and Conquer Algorithms

(break problem into distinct subproblem)


 Dynamic Algorithms

(break problem into overlapping subproblem)


 Back Tracking

To track the best solution)


 Greedy Algorithms
Scope and Objectives
 Scope: We will design and discuss the algorithm of
polynomial time class algorithms and also introduce
the np and np-complete class algorithms

 Objectives:
 To design strategies of p-class algorithms.
 To analyze the p-class algorithms with respect to
time complexity and space complexity
Conclusion
 After this lecture we are able to ......
 Define basic definitions and related terms
 Discuss the scope and objectives of the course
