Analysis Of Algorithms: Computational Methods & Mathematical Tools

By Micha Hofri

Analysis of Algorithms: Computational Methods & Mathematical Tools presents the methods and tools needed to determine the effectiveness of algorithms. It begins with basic computational tools such as generating functions, combinatorial calculus, and asymptomatic methods, and continues through applications such as searching and sorting, communications protocols, and bin packing heuristics. The techniques needed for an effective use of each concept are shown in examples, then in exercises for which detailed solutions are provided. Proofs are given to illustrate the focal topic of the chapter. While the book can be used as a reference tool for algorithm designers and scientists specializing in their analyses, the exercises also make this a useful guide for graduate courses and seminars. Much of the material is culled from recent journal articles, and is presented here for the first time in book form.
