Lecture Notes On Design And Analysis Of Algorithms
Lecture Notes on Design and Analysis of Algorithms by Mr. S.K. Sathua, Dr. M.R. Kabat, and Dr. R. Mohanty, published November 14, 2020, is an 80-page document that provides a vital summary of some of the significant notions of algorithms. It first of all provides the basics of the growth of functions and recurrences, while techniques for the solution of these recurrences include substitution and recursion trees. These notes introduce the Master Method for analyzing divide and conquer algorithms and provide worst-case analysis of merge sort, quick sort, and binary search. Other topics it covers are heaps, heap sort, priority queues, and sorting lower bounds, thus proving very valuable for comprehending core principles in algorithm analysis and design.

Advanced Algorithms by BMS College of Engineering
This PDF deals with some advanced topics in the design of algorithms, focusing on Dynamic Programming. The application domains of DP are discussed and cover classic problems, including Matrix Chain Multiplication, that is, finding an optimal order to multiply many matrices, and Rod Cutting, which is just a typical 4-inch rod problem. Its notes include insights into the steps of DP, its recursive tree structures, and problem-solving through the bottom-up approach. The wide de-balcony of these topics helps the reader understand how DP can be applied to a variety of optimization problems and demonstrates both theoretical and practical aspects of algorithm design.

The lecture notes on Approximation Algorithms by Shuchi Chawla focus on techniques of designing algorithms that produce near-optimal solutions to complex optimization problems for which finding an exact solution is computationally infeasible. These lecture notes cover general underlying techniques of approximation algorithms, comprising basic building blocks and the foundation needed to deal with problems which are difficult to solve exactly due to computational complexity. These notes by Chawla provide an outline of various methods for approaching different optimization problems and ways of solving them when exact algorithms are not practical. Further, this resource is likely to be extremely helpful with respect to devising and applying approximation algorithms returning good solutions within a reasonable amount of time; hence, this is a must for scholars and practitioners faced with hard optimization problems.
