CP5602 - Advanced Algorithm Analysis

[Offered in even-numbered years in JCU Singapore. ]

Credit points: 3
Year: 2023
Student Contribution Band: Band 2
Administered by: College of Science and Engineering

This subject is designed to meet the needs of students for designing algorithms to solve a wide range of problems, and analysing the correctness and complexity of algorithms. Design strategies (such as, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms), and a wide range of analysing techniques (including the master methods, substitution method, and recursion trees, for computing the running time of divide and conquer algorithms) will be studied.

Learning Outcomes

  • apply a variety of techniques in the analysis of algorithms;
  • interpret the design and analysis of the families of fundamental algorithms;
  • evaluate computational complexity theory and its relationship to algorithm analysis.
