1 Analysis of Algorithm Efficiency Dr. Yingwu Zhu

2 Measure Algorithm Efficiency Time efficiency How fast the algorithm runs; amount of time required to accomplish the task Our focus! Space efficiency Amount of memory required Deals with the extra space the algorithm requires

3 Time Efficiency Time efficiency depends on : size of input speed of machine quality of source code quality of compiler These vary from one platform to another So, we cannot express time efficiency meaningfully in real time units such as seconds!

4 Empirical analysis of time efficiency Select a specific (typical) sample of inputs Use physical unit of time (e.g., milliseconds) or Count actual number of basic operation s executions Analyze the empirical data Limitation: results dependent on the particular computer and the sample of inputs

5 Theoretical analysis of time efficiency Time efficiency is analyzed by determining the number of repetitions of the basic operation as a function of input size Basic operation: the operation that contributes most towards the running time of the algorithm Input size T(n) c op C(n) running time execution time for basic operation Number of times basic operation is executed

6 Input size and basic operation examples Problem Input size measure Basic operation Searching for key in a list of n items Number of list s items, i.e. n Key comparison Multiplication of two matrices Matrix dimensions or total number of elements Multiplication of two numbers Checking primality of a given integer n Typical graph problem n size = number of digits (in binary representation) #vertices and/or edges Division Visiting a vertex or traversing an edge

7 Time Efficiency T(n) = (approximated by) number of times the basic operation is executed. Not only depends on the input size n, but also depends on the arrangement of the input items Best case: not informative Average case: difficult to determine Worst case: is used to measure an algorithm s performance

8 Example: Sequential Search Best case T(n) Worst case T(n) Average case T(n) Assume success search probability of p

9 Order of Growth Established framework for analyzing T(n) Order of growth as n Highest-order term is what counts Remember, we are doing asymptotic analysis As the input size grows larger it is the high order term that dominates

10 Asymptotic Order of Growth A way of comparing functions that ignores constant factors and small input sizes O(g(n)): class of functions f(n) that grow no faster than g(n) Θ(g(n)): class of functions f(n) that grow at same rate as g(n) Ω(g(n)): class of functions f(n) that grow at least as fast as g(n)

14 Upper Bound Notation In general a function f(n) is O(g(n)) if there exist positive constants c and n 0 such that f(n) c g(n) for all n n 0 Order of growth of f(n) order of growth of g(n) (within constant multiple) Formally O(g(n)) = { f(n): positive constants c and n 0 such that f(n) c g(n) n n 0

15 Big-Oh Examples 10n is O(n 2 ) 5n+20 is O(n)

47 T(n) for Insertion Sort Worst case? Best case?

48 Insertion Sort Is O(n 2 ) Proof Suppose runtime is an 2 + bn + c If any of a, b, and c are less than 0 replace the constant with its absolute value an 2 + bn + c (a + b + c)n 2 + (a + b + c)n + (a + b + c) 3(a + b + c)n 2 for n 1 Let c = 3(a + b + c) and let n 0 = 1 Question Is InsertionSort O(n 3 )? Is InsertionSort O(n)?

49 Big O Fact A polynomial of degree k is O(n k ) Proof: Suppose f(n) = b k n k + b k-1 n k b 1 n + b 0 Let a i = b i f(n) a k n k + a k-1 n k a 1 n + a 0 n k a i n n i k n k a i cn k

50 Lower Bound Notation In general a function f(n) is (g(n)) if positive constants c and n 0 such that 0 c g(n) f(n) n n 0 Proof: Suppose run time is an + b Assume a and b are positive (what if b is negative?) an an + b Example: n 3 = (n 2 )

59 Analysis for Algorithms Non-recursive algorithms Recursive algorithms Often, we focus on worst case

60 T(n) for nonrecursive algorithms General Plan for Analysis Decide on parameter n indicating input size Identify algorithm s basic operation Determine worst, average, and best cases for input of size n Set up a sum for the number of times the basic operation is executed Simplify the sum using standard formulas and rules

61 Useful summation formulas and rules l i u 1 = = u - l + 1 In particular, 1 i n 1 = n = n (n) 1 i n i = n = n(n+1)/2 n 2 /2 (n 2 ) 1 i n i 2 = n 2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6 n 3 /3 (n 3 ) 0 i n a i = 1 + a + + a n = (a n+1-1)/(a - 1) for any a 1 In particular, 0 i n 2 i = n = 2 n+1-1 (2 n ) (a i ± b i ) = a i ± b i ca i = c a i l i u a i = l i m a i + m+1 i u a i

62 Example 1: Maximum element

63 Example 2: Element uniqueness problem

64 Example 3: Matrix multiplication

65 Plan for Analysis of Recursive Algorithms Decide on a parameter indicating an input s size. Identify the algorithm s basic operation. Check whether the number of times the basic op. is executed may vary on different inputs of the same size. (If it may, the worst, average, and best cases must be investigated separately.) Set up a recurrence relation with an appropriate initial condition expressing the number of times the basic op. is executed. Solve the recurrence (or, at the very least, establish its solution s order of growth) by backward substitutions or another method.

66 Example 1: Recursive evaluation of n! Definition: n! = 1 2 (n-1) n for n 1 and 0! = 1 Recursive definition of n!: F(n) = F(n-1) n for n 1 and F(0) = 1 Size: Basic operation: Recurrence relation:

67 Example 2: The Tower of Hanoi Puzzle 1 3 Recurrence for number of moves: 2 n disks of different sizes and 3 pegs; the goal is to move all the disks to the third peg using the 2 nd one as an auxiliary if necessary. Move on disk at a time and do not place a larger disk on top of a smaller one!

68 The Tower of Hanoi Puzzle T(n) = 2T(n-1) + 1 T(1) = 1

69 Example 3: Counting #bits

70 Smoothness rule In the preceding example, we assume n = 2 k and then take advantage of the theorem called the smoothness rule: Claims that: under very broad assumptions the order of growth observed for n= 2 k gives a correct answer about the order of growth for all values of n.
