Supervisor:
Department of Theoretical Computer Science
Synopsis:

The course introduces more advanced data structures, including analysis of their complexity.

Requirements:

We assume that the student has a basic knowledge of algorithm design (which could have been acquired in the courses BI-PA1 and BI-PA2) and graph theory (BI-AG1: Algorithms and Graphs 1). It is an advantage if the student has completed or is concurrently taking the course Algorithms and Graphs 2 (BI-AG2), but it is not a requirement.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. (a,b)-trees and red-black trees

2. Persistent variants of trees and their motivation

3. List labelling

4. Introduction to randomized structures: treaps

5. Hashing I: function systems

6. Hashing II: linear addition analysis

7. Hashing III: Bloom filters

8. Binomial heaps

9. Fibonacci heaps

10. Counting points in a plane (2D range trees)

11. Heavy-light decomposition

12. String matching

13. Reserve (dynamization of data structures)

Syllabus of tutorials:

The tutorials consist of solving assigned tasks on topics covered in lectures.
