Study Notes
Algorithms and Data Structures
- Course: Algorithms and Data Structures
- Term: Winter 2024/25
- Lecture: 3rd Lecture
- Topic: Run Time Analysis
Recap
- Algorithm analysis: Important questions:
- Correctness of the algorithm
- Efficiency of the algorithm (time and space complexity)
- Sorting importance: Efficiency is crucial for dealing with large datasets. Faster algorithms reduce processing time significantly.
- Algorithm design techniques: Familiarize yourself with various strategies like iterative, incremental and recursive methods.
- Correctness proof: Understand how to validate an algorithm's logic—for loops, incremental algorithms, and recursive ones.
Run Time Analysis: Insertion Sort
- Pseudo Code:
InsertionSort(int[] A)
for j = 2 to A.length do
key = A[j]
i = j − 1
while i > 0 and A[i] > key do
A[i + 1] = A[i]
i = i − 1
A[i + 1] = key
- Conventions:
- n = A.length: The input size
- Comparisons only: Count only comparisons between array elements
Run Time Analysis: Merge Sort
- Pseudocode:
MergeSort(int[] A, int l = 1, int r = A.length)
if l < r then
m = [(l + r)/2]
MergeSort(A, l, m)
MergeSort(A, m + 1, r)
Merge(A, l, m, r)
- Algorithm Characteristics:
- Divide: Recursively divides the input into smaller sub-problems.
- Conquer: Solves each subproblem recursively.
- Combine: Merges the sorted subproblems to produce the final solution.
- Efficiency: MergeSort exhibits time complexity of O(n log n), which is significantly better than some algorithms for dealing with large data sets.
Classification Scheme for Functions (I)
- Big-Oh Notation (O(g)):
- Defines a class of functions that grow at most as quickly as function g.
- Mathematically, a function f(n) belongs to O(g(n)) if there exist positive constants c and n0 such that f(n) ≤ c * g(n) for all n ≥ n0.
- Examples:
- f(n) = 2n² + 4n – 20 is in O(n²).
- 4n – 20 is in O(n).
Classification Scheme for Functions (II): Big-Omega (Ω(g))
- Big-Omega Notation (Ω(g)):
- Defines a class of functions that grow at least as quickly as function g.
- A function f(n) belongs to Ω(g(n)) if there exist positive constants c and n0 such that c * g(n) ≤ f(n) for all n ≥ n0.
- Θ notation: This notation combines big-oh and big-omega. A function f(n) is in Θ(g(n)) if it is both in O(g(n)) and Ω(g(n)).
Comparison of Sorting Algorithms
- Graphs: Show comparisons of time complexities (e.g., Insertion Sort vs. Merge Sort on a graph). Illustrate how different sorting methods perform under various input conditions.
