The divide-and-conquer design paradigm 1. Divide the problem(instance) into subproblems 2. Conquer the subproblems by solving them recursively 3. Combine subproblem solutions
Balanced search trees Balanced search tree a search-tree data structure for which a height of o(g n)is guaranteed when implementing a dynamic set of n items
Dynamic programming Design technique, like divide-and-conquer Example: Longest Common Subsequence (LCs) Given two sequences x[l.. m] and yll.n], find a longest subsequence common to them both a' not the
