Learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to introduce some advanced paradigms for algorithms development and analysis in order to determine good approximate solutions for hard optimization problems.
Program
Main concepts recall about computational problems: definition, instances, encoding, precise and approximate models. Optimization computational problem.
Main concepts recall about algorithms: computational resources, input encoding, input size/cost, computational time. Worst and average analysis. Computational time and growth order.
Computational time vs. hardware improvements: main relations. Efficient algorithms and tractable problems.
