Algorithm Analysis: Do NOT worry !!! Analysis of Algorithms
Math you need to Review • Series summations • Logarithms and Exponents • Proof techniques • Basic probability • properties of logarithms: logb(xy) = logbx + logby logb (x/y) = logbx - logby logbxa = alogbx logba = logxa/logxb • properties of exponentials: a(b+c) = aba c abc = (ab)c ab /ac = a(b-c) b = a logab bc = a c*logab Analysis of Algorithms

Assumptions for the computational model • Basic computer with sequentially executed instructions • Infinite memory • Has standard operations; addition, multiplication, comparison in 1 time unit unless stated otherwise • Has fixed-size (32bits) integers such that no-fancy operations are allowed!!! eg.matrix inversion, • Proof techniques • Basic probability Analysis of Algorithms
Running Time • Most algorithms transform input objects into output objects. • The running time of an algorithm typically grows with the input size. • Average case time is often difficult to determine. • We focus on the worst case running time. • Easier to analyze • Crucial to applications such as games, finance, image,robotics, AI, etc. Analysis of Algorithms
Experimental Studies • Write a program implementing the algorithm • Run the program with inputs of varying size and composition • Assume a subprogram is written to get an accurate measure of the actual running time • Plot the results Analysis of Algorithms
Limitations of Experiments • It is necessary to implement the algorithm, which may be difficult • Results may not be indicative of the running time on other inputs not included in the experiment. • In order to compare two algorithms, the same hardware and software environments must be used Analysis of Algorithms
Theoretical Analysis • Uses a high-level description of the algorithm instead of an implementation • Characterizes running time as a function of the input size, n. • Takes into account all possible inputs • Allows us to evaluate the speed of an algorithm independent of the hardware/software environment Analysis of Algorithms

Important Functions • Seven functions that often appear in algorithm analysis: • Constant 1 • Logarithmic log n • Linear n • N-Log-N n log n • Quadratic n2 • Cubic n3 • Exponential 2n • In a log-log chart, the slope of the line corresponds to the growth rate of the function Analysis of Algorithms

By inspecting the pseudocode, we can determine the maximum number of primitive operations executed by an algorithm, as a function of the input size AlgorithmarrayMax(A, n) # operations currentMaxA[0] 2 fori1ton 1do 2n ifA[i] currentMaxthen 2(n 1) currentMaxA[i] 2(n 1) { increment counter i } 2(n 1) returncurrentMax 1 Total 8n 2 Counting Primitive Operations for Pseudocodes Analysis of Algorithms
Algorithm arrayMax executes 8n 2 primitive operations in the worst case. Define: a = Time taken by the fastest primitive operation b = Time taken by the slowest primitive operation Let T(n) be worst-case time of arrayMax.Thena (8n 2) T(n)b(8n 2) Hence, the running time T(n) is bounded by two linear functions Estimating Running Time Analysis of Algorithms
Asymptotic Algorithm Analysis • The asymptotic analysis of an algorithm determines the running time in big-Oh notation • To perform the asymptotic analysis • We find the worst-case number of primitive operations executed as a function of the input size • We express this function with big-Oh notation • Example: • We determine that algorithm arrayMax executes at most 8n 2 primitive operations • We say that algorithm arrayMax “runs in O(n) time” • Since constant factors and lower-order terms are eventually dropped anyhow, we can disregard them when counting primitive operations Analysis of Algorithms
Growth Rate of Running Time • Changing the hardware/ software environment • Affects T(n) by a constant factor, but • Does not alter the growth rate of T(n) • The linear growth rate of the running time T(n) is an intrinsic property of algorithm arrayMax Analysis of Algorithms
Constant Factors • The growth rate is not affected by • constant factors or • lower-order terms • Examples • 102n+105is a linear function • 105n2+ 108nis a quadratic function Analysis of Algorithms
Big-Oh Notation • Given functions f(n) and g(n), we say that f(n) is O(g(n))if there are positive constantsc and n0 such that f(n)cg(n) for n n0 • Example: 2n+10 is O(n) • 2n+10cn • (c 2) n 10 • n 10/(c 2) • Pick c = 3 and n0 = 10 Analysis of Algorithms
Big-Oh Example • Example: the function n2is not O(n) • n2cn • n c • The above inequality cannot be satisfied since c must be a constant Analysis of Algorithms
More Big-Oh Examples • 7n-2 7n-2 is O(n) need c > 0 and n0 1 such that 7n-2 c•n for n n0 this is true for c = 7 and n0 = 1 • 3n3 + 20n2 + 5 3n3 + 20n2 + 5 is O(n3) need c > 0 and n0 1 such that 3n3 + 20n2 + 5 c•n3 for n n0 this is true for c = 4 and n0 = 21 • 3 log n + 5 3 log n + 5 is O(log n) need c > 0 and n0 1 such that 3 log n + 5 c•log n for n n0 this is true for c = 8 and n0 = 2 Analysis of Algorithms
Big-Oh and Growth Rate • The big-Oh notation gives an upper bound on the growth rate of a function • The statement “f(n) is O(g(n))” means that the growth rate of f(n) is no more than the growth rate of g(n) • We can use the big-Oh notation to rank functions according to their growth rate Analysis of Algorithms

Big-Oh Rules Theorem Consider polynomial where am>0.Then f(n) = O(nm). i.e., • Drop lower-order terms • Drop constant factors • Use the smallest possible class of functions • Say “2n is O(n)”instead of “2n is O(n2)” • Use the simplest expression of the class • Say “3n+5 is O(n)”instead of “3n+5 is O(3n)” Analysis of Algorithms
Big-Oh Rules-2 • logk n = O(n) for any constant kZ+ • f(n) = O (f(n)) • c O(f(n)) = O (f(n)) • O(f(n)) + O(f(n)) = O(f(n)) • O(O(f(n))) = O(f(n)) • O(f(n)) O(g(n)) = O(f(n) g(n)) Analysis of Algorithms
