Contents

From [INF-02-06-K-2] Algorithms and Data Structures:
  • Characteristics and properties of algorithms (computability, correctness, pseudocode notation)
  • Runtime of algorithms (runtime and efficiency, growth of functions, asymptotic notation and calculation rules, recursive algorithms, amortized analysis)
  • Runtime of operations of elementary data structures
  • Sorting algorithms (primitive sorting algorithms, quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, external sorting, sorting without comparisons)
  • Data structures for dictionaries (binary search trees, balanced search trees, B-trees, hashing)
  • Graphs and important graph algorithms (data structures for graphs, traversing, shortest paths, minimum span trees)
  • Basic Design Methods (Divide-and-Conquer, Dynamic Programming, Greedy Algorithms, Backtracking)
  • Basic concepts of complexity theory (Turing machines, classes P and NP, Karp reduction, some important NP-complete problems)

Competencies / intended learning achievements

The students know basic algorithms and data structures (search methods, sorting methods, balanced search trees, hashing) and are able to,
  • describe algorithms using basic data structures and algorithmic approaches,
  • use standard methods for determining and describing the runtime of algorithms,
  • apply common techniques for the design of algorithms to new problems,
  • prove for simple problems that no efficient algorithm can exist,
  • classify and compare problems according to their runtime complexity and structure.

In the exercises they have worked out a safe, precise and independent handling of the terms, statements and methods from the lecture.
