TY - BOOK AU - Sen, Sandeep AU - Kumar, Amit TI - Design and analysis of algorithms: a contemporary perspective SN - 9781108721998 U1 - 005.1 SEN-S PY - 2019/// CY - India PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Algorithms KW - Logic KW - Mathematics KW - Algebra KW - Computer science KW - Geometry N1 - The text covers important algorithm design techniques, such as greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, and divide-and-conquer, and gives applications to contemporary problems. Techniques including Fast Fourier transform, KMP algorithm for string matching, CYK algorithm for context free parsing and gradient descent for convex function minimization are discussed in detail. The book's emphasis is on computational models and their effect on algorithm design. It gives insights into algorithm design techniques in parallel, streaming and memory hierarchy computational models. The book also emphasizes the role of randomization in algorithm design, and gives numerous applications ranging from data-structures such as skip-lists to dimensionality reduction methods ER -
