Course objectives
The course expands on the introductory course Algortihm Design I. It presents algorithmic concepts without their direct connection to any particular programming language. The aim is to introduce students into design and analysis of advanced algorithms. The course presents advanced techniques of algorithm analysis and a wide spectrum of strategies together with algorithms built up on these strategies. Students are introduced into new data structures which are displayed in a row with algorithms based on them.
Syllabus
  • Advanced design and analysis techniques: dynamic programming, greedy strategies, backtracking, local search. Amortized analysis.
  • Advanced data structures: binomial and Fibonacci heaps, data structures for disjoint sets.
  • Graph algorithms: spanning trees, shortest paths, flows, matching.
  • String matching: the naive string-matching algorithm, Karp-Rabin algorithm, string matching with finite automata.
