Algorithms and Graphs 1

Garant předmětu:

Dušan Knop

Lecturer:

Tomáš Valla

Tutor:

Maria Saumell Mendiola, Jiřina Scholtzová

Supervisor:

Department of Theoretical Computer Science

Synopsis:

The course covers the basics from the efficient algorithm design, data structures, and graph theory, belonging to the core knowledge of every computing curriculum. It is interlinked with the concurrent BIE-AAG and BIE-ZDM courses in which the students gain the basic skills and knowledge needed for time and space complexity of algorithms and learn to handle practically the asymptotic mathematics.

Requirements:

Entry knowledge: Active algorithmic skills for solving basic types of computational tasks, programming skills in some HLL (Java, C++), and knowledge of basic notions from the mathematical analysis and combinatorics are expected. Students are expected to take concurrent courses BIE-AAG and BIE-ZDM.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Motivation and Elements of Graph Theory.

2. Basic Definitions and Elements of Graph Theory I.

3. Basic Definitions and Elements of Graph Theory II.

4. Sorting Algorithms O(n^2). Binary Heaps and HeapSort.

5. Extendable Array, Amortized Complexity, Binomial Heaps.

6. Search Trees and Balance Strategies.

7. Introduction to Randomization, Hashing.

8. Recursive algorithm and the Divide-and-Conquer method.

9. Probabilistic Algorithms and Their Complexity. QuickSort.

10. Dynamic Programming.

11. Minimum Spanning Trees.

12. Shortest Paths Algorithms on Graphs.
