What is Algorithm?

A finite set of instruction that specifies a sequence of operation is to be carried out in order to solve a specific problem or class of problems is called an Algorithm.

Why study Algorithm?

As the speed of processor increases, performance is frequently said to be less central than other software quality characteristics (e.g. security, extensibility, reusability etc.). However, large problem sizes are commonplace in the area of computational science, which makes performance a very important factor. This is because longer computation time, to name a few mean slower results, less through research and higher cost of computation (if buying CPU Hours from an external party). The study of Algorithm, therefore, gives us a language to express performance as a function of problem size.

What is meant by Algorithm Analysis?

Algorithm analysis is an important part of computational complexity theory, which provides theoretical estimation for the required resources of an algorithm to solve a specific computational problem. Analysis of algorithms is the determination of the amount of time and space resources required to execute it.

Why Analysis of Algorithms is important?

  • To predict the behavior of an algorithm without implementing it on a specific computer.
  • It is much more convenient to have simple measures for the efficiency of an algorithm than to implement the algorithm and test the efficiency every time a certain parameter in the underlying computer system changes.
  • It is impossible to predict the exact behavior of an algorithm. There are too many influencing factors.
  • The analysis is thus only an approximation; it is not perfect.
  • More importantly, by analyzing different algorithms, we can compare them to determine the best one for our purpose.

Types of Algorithm Analysis:

  1. Best case
  2. Worst case
  3. Average case

Recurrence Relation

  Recurrence Relation A recurrence is an equation or inequality that describes a function in terms of its values on smaller inputs. To solve a Recurrence Relation means to obtain a function defined on the natural numbers that satisfy the recurrence. For Example , the Worst Case Running Time T(n) of the MERGE SORT Procedures is described by the recurrence. T (n) = θ (1) if n=1 2T + θ (n) if n>1 There are four methods for solving Recurrence: Substitution Method Iteration Method Recursion Tree Method Master Method 1. Substitution Method: The Substitution Method Consists of two main steps: Guess the Solution. Use the mathematical induction to find the boundary condition and shows that the guess is correct. For Example1  Solve the equation by Substitution Method. T (n) = T + n We have to show that it is asymptotically bound by O (log n). Solution: For T (n) = O (log n) We have to show that for some constant c T (n) ≤c logn.   Put this in given Recurrence Equation. T (n) ≤c log + 1

Recursion Method

  Recursion Tree Method 1. Recursion Tree Method is a pictorial representation of an iteration method which is in the form of a tree where at each level nodes are expanded. 2. In general, we consider the second term in recurrence as root. 3. It is useful when the divide & Conquer algorithm is used. 4. It is sometimes difficult to come up with a good guess. In Recursion tree, each root and child represents the cost of a single subproblem. 5. We sum the costs within each of the levels of the tree to obtain a set of pre-level costs and then sum all pre-level costs to determine the total cost of all levels of the recursion. 6. A Recursion Tree is best used to generate a good guess, which can be verified by the Substitution Method. Example 1 Consider T (n) = 2T + n 2 We have to obtain the asymptotic bound using recursion tree method. Solution:  The Recursion tree for the above recurrence is Example 2:  Consider the following recurrence T (n) = 4T +n Obtain the asymptotic bound usi

Substitution Method

The Substitution Method Consists of two main steps: Guess the Solution. Use the mathematical induction to find the boundary condition and shows that the guess is correct. For Example1  Solve the equation by Substitution Method. T (n) = T + n We have to show that it is asymptotically bound by O (log n). Solution: For T (n) = O (log n) We have to show that for some constant c T (n) ≤c logn.   Put this in given Recurrence Equation. T (n) ≤c log + 1 ≤c log + 1 = c logn-clog 2 2+1 ≤c logn for c≥1 Thus T (n) =O logn . Example2  Consider the Recurrence T (n) = 2T + n n>1 Find an Asymptotic bound on T. Solution: We guess the solution is O (n (logn)).Thus for constant 'c'. T (n) ≤c n logn Put this in given Recurrence Equation. Now, T (n) ≤2c log +n ≤cnlogn-cnlog2+n =cn logn-n (clog2-1) ≤cn logn for (c≥1) Thus T (n) = O (n logn) . 2. Iteration Methods It means to expand the recurrence and express it as a summation of terms of n and initial condition. Exa
