A Guide to Algorithm Design

Author: Anne Benoit
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439898138
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 380

Book Description
Presenting a complementary perspective to standard books on algorithms, A Guide to Algorithm Design: Paradigms, Methods, and Complexity Analysis provides a roadmap for readers to determine the difficulty of an algorithmic problem by finding an optimal solution or proving complexity results. It gives a practical treatment of algorithmic complexity and guides readers in solving algorithmic problems. Divided into three parts, the book offers a comprehensive set of problems with solutions as well as in-depth case studies that demonstrate how to assess the complexity of a new problem. Part I helps readers understand the main design principles and design efficient algorithms. Part II covers polynomial reductions from NP-complete problems and approaches that go beyond NP-completeness. Part III supplies readers with tools and techniques to evaluate problem complexity, including how to determine which instances are polynomial and which are NP-hard. Drawing on the authors’ classroom-tested material, this text takes readers step by step through the concepts and methods for analyzing algorithmic complexity. Through many problems and detailed examples, readers can investigate polynomial-time algorithms and NP-completeness and beyond.

The Art of Algorithm Design

Author: Sachi Nandan Mohanty
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000463788
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 319

Book Description
The Art of Algorithm Design is a complementary perception of all books on algorithm design and is a roadmap for all levels of learners as well as professionals dealing with algorithmic problems. Further, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. All algorithms are described and designed with a "pseudo-code" to be readable by anyone with little knowledge of programming. This book comprises of a comprehensive set of problems and their solutions against each algorithm to demonstrate its executional assessment and complexity, with an objective to: Understand the introductory concepts and design principles of algorithms and their complexities Demonstrate the programming implementations of all the algorithms using C-Language Be an excellent handbook on algorithms with self-explanatory chapters enriched with problems and solutions While other books may also cover some of the same topics, this book is designed to be both versatile and complete as it traverses through step-by-step concepts and methods for analyzing each algorithmic complexity with pseudo-code examples. Moreover, the book provides an enjoyable primer to the field of algorithms. This book is designed for undergraduates and postgraduates studying algorithm design.

Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design

Author: Richard Bird
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139490605
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages :

Book Description
Richard Bird takes a radical approach to algorithm design, namely, design by calculation. These 30 short chapters each deal with a particular programming problem drawn from sources as diverse as games and puzzles, intriguing combinatorial tasks, and more familiar areas such as data compression and string matching. Each pearl starts with the statement of the problem expressed using the functional programming language Haskell, a powerful yet succinct language for capturing algorithmic ideas clearly and simply. The novel aspect of the book is that each solution is calculated from an initial formulation of the problem in Haskell by appealing to the laws of functional programming. Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design will appeal to the aspiring functional programmer, students and teachers interested in the principles of algorithm design, and anyone seeking to master the techniques of reasoning about programs in an equational style.
