This course covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP ...

Course Description This course is part three of a specialization on algorithms and data structures. It covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and ...

We consider the problem of approximating a given element f from a Hilbert space $\scr {H}$ by means of greedy algorithms and the application of such procedures to the regression problem in statistical ...

A greedy algorithm -- simply put -- is fast but not perfect. The algorithm works under broad guidelines and does not test all the alternatives necessary to obtain an optimal solution.

Brief Description of Course Content Covers the fundamentals of algorithms and various algorithmic strategies, including time and space complexity, sorting algorithms, recurrence relations, divide and ...
