Using sorting as an algorithm solving specific problem and compare their method of solving it and performances’ tradeoffs in terms of its time complexity. compare its performance using different approaches (three approaches) such as (divide and conquer, dynamic programming, brute force, greedy approach ). show which approach solve the problem best.
Use sorting as an example and compare .
Sorting an array is the process of arranging the array elements such as to arrange them in a certain order for example in decreasing or increasing order.
Let us take three methods.
1. Brute Force : In the brute force approach we
compare all possible pairs of elements to order them into the
correct order. Since for every element we compare it with all other
elements, for an array of length , every element will be
compared with n other elements. So
comparisons are required. So in the worst case, time complexity of
this algorithm will be
.
Bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort are some examples of a
sorting algorithm based on this paradigmn.
2. Divide and conquer: For algorithms using this paradigm, we first keep on dividing the array into smaller and smaller units and then when only one elements is left we start merging them. Let us see how we calculate the time complexity of this algorithm, Merge sort is an example of such a sorting algorithm. Let us analyze this algorithm's time complexity.
Since for merge sort, we have
c is the constant time for all fixed time operations.Using
masters theorem we get the time complexity of merge sort in worst
case to be
.
3. Tree or heap structure sorts: This also
takes time
complexity. Heap sort creates a heap of the element. Heap is a
structure that has the property that the parent is larger than both
the children. First we construct the heap and we then remove the
largest element and place it at the end of the sorted list. After
removing the largest item, it reconstructs the heap and removes the
largest remaining item and places it in the next open position from
the end of the sorted array and goes on till there is no element
left in the heap. Since the heap is a full binary tree so its
height is of the order
. and we create a
heap for every element so it takes the order
.

The zigzag sorting problem takes an array data of size n and outputs a per- mutation where data[1] <data[2] > data[3] = data[4] > data[5] S..., all the way to the end of the array. (In general data[i] = data[i+1] if i is odd and data[i] > data[i+1] if i is even.) Answer the following questions about developing algorithms for the zigzag sorting problem. 1. Give pseudocode for a brute force algorithm for zigzag sorting. Your pseudocode just needs to...
A) Write the pseudocode for an algorithm using dynamic programming to solve the activity-selection problem based on this recurrence: c[i, j] = 0 if Si; = Ø max {c[i, k] + c[k,j] + 1} if Sij +0 ak eSij B) Analyze the running time (the time complexity) of your algorithm and compare it to the iterative greedy algorithm.
Please help me with this answer. Performance Comparison for Dijkstra Algorithm and Bellman-Ford Algorithm Problem Description The shortest path problem is one of most important problems in graph theory and computer science in general. Shortest path problem is one of typical optimization problems. Given a graph G = (V,E), the goal is to nd a minimum cost path from s → t, s,t ∈ V . This variant is called one-to-one shortest path problem. Other variants are one-to-all (compute shortest...

Decrease-by-Half Algorithm We can solve the same problem using a decrease-by-half algorithm. This algorithm is based on the following ideas: In the base case, n 1 and the only possible solution is b 0, e 1 In the general case, divide V into a left and rnight half; then the maximum subarray can be in one of three places: o entirely in the left half; o entirely in the right half; or o...

Construct a program that uses an agent to solve a Sudoku
puzzle as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem, with the following
guidelines:
1. Since 3 x 3 puzzles are too trivial for a computer, your
program should use 4 x 4 puzzles (also known as Super Sudoku
puzzles; see Figure 2 for an example).
2. The program should read a Sudoku puzzle from a text file. The
user should be able to browse the file system to select...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
