Study Notes
Interval Scheduling
- Greedy approach is used to solve interval scheduling problems
- Greedy choices are made to optimize the overall solution
Graphs
- Modelling with graphs involves representing real-world problems using graphs
- Basic concepts include nodes, edges, and graph types (directed/undirected)
- Graphs can be represented using edge lists, adjacency matrices, or adjacency lists
- Graph classes can be implemented in Python using DiGraph and UndirectedGraph classes
Tree Data Structures
- Binary trees have a maximum of two children per node
- Algorithms on trees include divide and conquer, and arm's-length recursion
- Tree traversals include depth-first search, pre-order, in-order, and post-order traversal
- Binary search trees (BSTs) allow for efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations
- Heaps are a type of binary tree that can be used for efficient sorting (heapsort)
Shortest Paths
- Shortest paths can be found using algorithms such as Dijkstra's or Bellman-Ford
- Shortest paths have applications in networking, traffic routing, and more
Greed
- Greed is an algorithmic paradigm that involves making locally optimal choices
- Greed is used to solve problems such as interval scheduling, minimum spanning tree, and shortest paths
Dynamic Programming
- Dynamic programming is an algorithmic paradigm that involves breaking down problems into smaller subproblems
- Dynamic programming is used to solve problems such as longest common subsequence, knapsack, and travelling salesman
Backtracking
- Backtracking is an algorithmic paradigm that involves recursively exploring possible solutions
- Backtracking is used to solve problems such as the travelling salesman problem and knapsack
Sorting
- Sorting algorithms include insertion sort, selection sort, merge sort, and quicksort
- Each algorithm has its own time and space complexity, as well as performance characteristics
Recursion
- Recursion is a programming technique that involves defining a function in terms of itself
- Recursion is used to solve problems such as the factorial function, and searching permutations and subsets
Divide and Conquer
- Divide and conquer is an algorithmic paradigm that involves breaking down problems into smaller subproblems
- Divide and conquer is used to solve problems such as binary search, and merge sort
Complexity Classes
- Complexity classes are used to classify algorithms based on their time and space complexity
- Examples of complexity classes include P (tractable) and NP (intractable)
