It covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP-completeness) . We will ...

The benefit of using a flowchart to represent the algorithm needed is that the flowchart provides a solution that works in any programming language. Instead of leaping directly into the lines of ...

We present integer linear programming formulation and a simple yet elegant dynamic programming algorithm. We will present a 3/2 factor approximation algorithm by Christofides and discuss some ...

Dynamic programming algorithms are a good place to start understanding what's really going on inside computational biology software. The heart of many well-known programs is a dynamic programming ...

The students are encouraged to think and use their acquired knowledge of algorithms in practical and highly applicable programming exercises. The Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control class focuses ...
