    Study Notes

    Algorithms and Data Structures - 4th Lecture

    • Topic: Run Time Analysis - Examples
    • Stock price analysis
    • A series of stock prices (A[1..n]) is given
    • Find the difference in stock price to maximize the profit (A[j] - A[i])
    • Brute-force solution has a time complexity of O(n²)
    • A faster solution is needed for bigger data sets

    Analysis of Stock Prices

    • Data source: finanzen.net/chart/Nordex
    • Stock Prices: Example data (dates and prices shown in the slides)
    • Problem statement: Find the tuple (i, j) where 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, such that A[j] - A[i] is the maximum profit.

    A similar problem

    • Problem statement: Given a series A[1..n] of integer numbers. Find a tuple (i,j) with 1 ≤ i ≤ j≤ n, such that ∑k=i A[k] is the maximum sum.
    • Example data: 7, -4, -9, 1, -3, 3, 1, 12, 0, -2, 0, 4, 20, -8, 2
    • Solution is "brute force" for all pairs (i, j) to determine the sum and find the maximum
    • Run time: O(n²)

    A faster solution

    • Idea: Divide and conquer - subproblems.
    • Steps: Divide the problem into two roughly equal parts recursively, solve each subproblem, and combine the results.
    • Further subproblems can be recursively approached
    • In total: Θ(n²) additions
    • How to calculate: Calculate Sii, Si,i+1, ..., Sin (sum of elements from i to n) for each 'i' between 1 and n.
    • Finding the maximum sum: Focus on finding the sums that need to be evaluated.

    Run time analysis

    • Exact analysis of the brute force algorithm runtime
    • The number of admissible tuples is (n − 1) + (n − 2) + ... + 2 + 1 = n(n-1)/2 which is O(n²).
    • The number of sums with exactly S terms is n - s + 1
    • The number of additions is ∑s=1(n - s + 1)(s - 1) = Θ(n³).
    • Divide and conquer run time O(n log n)
