    • G2F: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • G2E: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements, contains degree project for Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
    • GXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified

    Second cycle

    • A1N: has only first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • A1F: has second-cycle course/s as entry requirements

Learning outcomes

To pass the course, the student must be able to

  • use advanced standard methods in algorithm theory, such as perfect hashing and integer programming;
  • analyse NP-completeness;
  • use analysis methods in the areas of amortised analysis and randomised algorithms.

Content

Advanced and modern techniques in algorithmics and analysis methods. Advanced standard methods in algorithm theory, such as perfect hashing and integer programming, NP-completeness, analysis methods in the areas of amortised analysis and randomised algorithms. Connections to modern research in the area.

Instruction

Lectures, labs and lessons.

Assessment

Written and oral presentation of assignments, 2 credits, and written exam, 3 credits.

Transitional provisions

The course cannot be included in a degree together with the courses Algorithms and data structures (DV)3/III (1DL104, 1DL113, 1DL030) and Advanced algorithmics (1DL480).
