Oct 11, 2022 · A procedure may implement an algorithm; it cannot be an algorithm. Algorithms are often described using pieces of code; either pseudo-code or code in an actual …

This part of computer science is called analysis of algorithms. Many times people are satisfied when they are given a guarantee that an algorithm’s performance is not worse than a specified …

An algorithm is, alas, an informal concept, which can not have a precise mathematical definition. One can still attempt at an informal definition, and argue that it conveys the right (informal) …

The fastest algorithm I can think of is applying LCS in a creative way. It can solve this problem in O (N^2) time and O (N^2) space where N is the size of string. LCS (S, reverse (S)) will give …

I am currently studying algorithms and algorithmic design, and I am confused those terms. What is the difference between them? Thank you.

The informal definition of an algorithm in a popular textbook goes something like: An algorithm is (1) a well defined computational procedure (2) that takes some input and (3) produces some …

Jun 11, 2017 · I have to solve a system of up to 10000 equations with 10000 unknowns as fast as possible (preferably within a few seconds). I know that Gaussian elimination is too slow for …
