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, 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

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
