Course objectives
The course presents basic techniques of the analysis of algorithms, data structures, and operations. It is aimed at proving the correctness of algorithms and their efficiency. Basic algorithmic concepts and constructs are presented without any direct binding to a concrete programming language and without requirements of an immediate program implementation. The goal is to make the students know how to work with the algorithms themselves without any implementation details. It enables to present rather broad scope of techniques used in functional, imperative as well as object-oriented languages.
Syllabus
  • Basic analysis of algorithms: Correctness of algorithms, input and output conditions, partial correctness, convergence, verification.
  • The length of computation, algorithm complexity, problem complexity. Asymptotical analysis of time- and space complexity, the growth of functions, application of recursive relations in analysis of algorithms.
  • Fundamental data structures: Lists, pushdown stacks, queues. Binary search trees, balanced trees, representation of sets.
  • Sorting algorithms: quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, lower bound for complexity of sorting.
  • Basic graph structures: Representation of graphs. Depth-first and breath-first traversal.
