Quicksort Proposed by C. A.R. Hoare in 1962 Divide-and-conquer algorithm Sorts“ in place”( like insertion sort, but not like merge sort Very practical(with tuning)
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
How large should a hash table be? Goal: Make the table as small as possible but large enough so that it wont overflow(or otherwise become inefficient Problem: what if we don 't know the proper size
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
Fixed -universe successor problem Goal: maintain a dynamic subset s of size n of the universe 0=10, 1,.,u-1 of size u subject to these operations INSERT(X∈U\\S): Add x to s DELETE(X E S): Remove x from S
