1 DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ALGORITHMS Unit 1 Chapter 4 ITERATIVE ALGORITHM DESIGN ISSUES
2 USE OF LOOPS As we break down algorithm into sub-algorithms, sooner or later we shall come across some iterative construct, that is, a loop, apart from conditional statements. A loop executing one more or one less time than the intended number is so common. To construct a loop we should be aware of three aspects: 1) The initial condition that needs to be true before the loop begins execution 2) The invariant relation that must hold before, during, and after each iteration of the loop 3) The condition under which the loop must terminate
3 The following design process is suggested to take care of these three aspects of algorithm development. 1) To Establish Initial Condition 2) To Find the Iterative Construct 3) Loop Termination
4 (1) TO ESTABLISH INITIAL CONDITION Set the loop control variables, to values which are appropriate for solving the smallest instance of the problem in question. For example, suppose we want to add elements of the given array using a loop. The loop variables are, i the loop control variable which is also used as the array index and s, the current value of the sum. The smallest problem in this case is the sum of 0 number of elements. In this case s must be 0. Thus the initial condition is: i = 0 s = 0
5 (2) TO FIND THE ITERATIVE CONSTRUCT Try to extend the smallest problem to the next smallest. In doing this, we will come to know what changes are to be done to the loop variables to achieve this change. For our example of summation of elements of an array, the next smallest is the case of n = 1, in which case s must be equal to a[i]. Thus the solution for n = 1 can be derived from the solution for n = 0 by first considering the solution for i = 1: i = 1 s = a[1] Then the same can be re-written as: i = i + 1 note: i on RHS is 0 s = s + a[i] i is now 1
6
7 (3) LOOP TERMINATION The simplest termination condition occurs when it is known in advance the number of times the loop is to be iterated. In that case we can use a FOR structured programming construct. For example, to execute a loop 20 times, we may write: for i = 1 to 20 do.. end for

9 EFFICIENCY OF ALGORITHMS The design and implementation of algorithms have a great influence on their efficiency. Every algorithm, when implemented must use some of the system resources to complete its task. The resources most relevant to the efficiency are the use of the central processor unit (CPU) time and internal memory (RAM). In the past, high cost of the computer resources was the driving force behind the desire to design algorithms that are economical in the use of CPU time and memory. As time passed, while on one hand, the cost of these resources has reduced and continues to do so, the requirement of more complex, and thereby time consuming algorithms has increased. Hence the need for designing efficient algorithms is present even today.
10 There is no standard method for designing efficient algorithms. Despite this, there are a few generalizations that can be made about the problem characteristics, while other characteristics would be specific to a particular problem. We shall discuss some means of improving the efficiency of an algorithm.
11 (1) REMOVING REDUNDANT COMPUTATIONS OUTSIDE LOOPS Most of the inefficiencies that creep into the implementation of algorithms are due to redundant computations or unnecessary storage. The effect of redundant computation is serious when it is embedded within a loop, which must be executed many a times. The most common mistake when using loops is to repeatedly re-calculate the part of an expression that remains constant throughout the execution phase of the entire loop. Let us take an example:
12 utmost care should be exercised in making sure that redundancies are removed in the innermost loops, as they are a major contributor to cost in terms of time.
13 (2) REFERENCING OF ARRAY ELEMENTS Generally, arrays are processed by iterative constructs. If care is not exercised while programming, redundant computations can creep into array processing. Consider, as an example, the following two versions of an algorithm in C, to find the maximum number and its position in an array of numbers:
14 Which of the two versions of the algorithm is preferable? Why?
15 Note that indexing of any kind, whether it be of simple data elements or of structured elements requires more time. Thus it can be said that the second version of the implementation is preferable because the condition test (that is, a[i] > max) which is the dominant operation is much more efficient to perform than the corresponding test in the version I of the program. By using the variable max, only one array reference is being made each time, whereas when using the variable p as index, two array references are required. References to array elements requires address arithmetic to arrive at the correct element and this requires time. Thus more time is spent in locating the specific value for comparison. Secondly, the second version of the program is better documented and the purpose of the code is much more explicit to the reader. This is because, by adding the variable called max we are providing a clue to the reader of the program about its operation.
16 (3) INEFFICIENCY DUE TO LATE TERMINATION Another possibility of inefficiency creeping into the implementation of an algorithm is, when considerably more tests are carried out, than are required to solve the problem at hand. example: Suppose we have to search an alphabetically ordered list of names for a particular name using linear search. An inefficient implementation for this case would be one where all names were examined even if a node in the list was reached where it could be definitely said that the name cannot occur later in the list. For example, suppose we are searching for Ketan, then, as soon as we reach a name that is alphabetically later than Ketan example, Lalit, we should not proceed further.
17 Let us take as an example, the Bubble Sort algorithm (sorting in ascending order):
18 BUBBLE SORT ALGORITHM
19
20 After the ith iteration all a[n - i n] are sorted and all a[1,..., n - i] are less than or equal to a[n - i + 1]. In addition, the inner loop causes a[1... n - i] elements to be sorted with i < n. For the inner loop, after the jth iteration the a[j + 1] element will be greater than or equal to all the elements in a[1... n]. The termination of the while loop is guaranteed since i increases by 1 with each iteration and a for loop must, by definition always terminate.
21 A weakness of this algorithm is that it relies more heavily on exchanges than most of the other sorting methods. Since exchanges are relatively time consuming, this particular characteristic makes the method costly for sorting a large random set. The importance of this method is that the algorithm is suitable for sorting a data set which has relatively a small percentage of its elements out of order, since it will require only a small number of comparisons and exchanges. An examination of the intermediate configuration for the sample data set suggests that the algorithm lacks balance and symmetry. While larger data elements make rapid progress towards the right end of the array, elements of small values only make a slow progress to the left end on the array.
22
23
24 (4) EARLY DETECTION OF DESIRED OUTPUT CONDITIONS It may sometimes happen that, due to the very nature of the input data a particular algorithm, for example, the Bubble Sort algorithm, establishes the desired output condition before the general condition for termination is met. For example, a bubble sort algorithm might receive a set of data that is already in sorted condition. When this is the case, it is obvious that the algorithm will have the data in sorted condition long before the general loop termination conditions are satisfied. It is therefore desirable to terminate the sorting as soon as it is established that the input data is already sorted. How do we determine during the course of the execution of the algorithm, whether the data is already sorted? To do this, all we need to do is to check whether there have been any exchanges in the current pass of the inner loop. If there have been no exchanges in the current pass, the data must be already sorted and the loop can be terminated early. See line no. 8 in the Bubble Sort Algorithm.
25 In general we must include additional tests or steps to determine or detect the conditions for early termination. These tests should be included only if they are inexpensive with regards to computer time as was the case in the Bubble sort algorithm. In general, it may be necessary to trade-off extra tests and storage versus CPU time to achieve early termination of algorithms.
26 ESTIMATING AND SPECIFYING EXECUTION TIMES To arrive at a quantitative measure of an algorithm's performance it is necessary to setup a computational model that reflects its behaviour under specified input conditions. This model must deal with the essence (the heart) of computation and at the same time be independent of any specific programming language. Thus we usually characterize an algorithm's performance in terms of the size of the problem being solved. It is obvious that more computing resources are required to solve larger problems in the same class of problems. An important question is "How does the "COST" of solving a problem vary as N increases. An intuitive response is The cost increases linearly with an increase in N.
27 Example, a problem with n = 200 takes twice as much time as a problem with n = 100 While this linear dependence on N is justifiable for some simple problems or algorithms, in general the relationship between complexity and the problem size follows a completely different pattern. At the lower end of the scale we have algorithms with logarithmic (that is, better) dependence on N, while on the other end of the scale we have algorithms with an exponential dependence on N. With an increase in N the relative difference in the cost of computation is enormous for these two extremes. Next Table illustrates the comparative computational cost for a range of N values.
28
29 ALGORITHM TO RAISE X TO SOME POWER N, CALLED POWER1 ()
30 Now suppose we are interested in finding the total running time for this algorithm. The time taken by each statement and the number of times it will be executed is shown by the side of each statement. Thus the total running time is: T(Power1, n) = t1 + (n - 1) * t2 + (n - 1) * t3 + t4 = (t1 + t4) + (n - 1) * (t2 + t3) Note that the first term (tl + t4) contributes only a constant amount of time, no matter whatever be the value of n. The behaviour of the algorithm as the problem size grows, that is, as n increases, is governed by the second term (t2 + t3). Also remember that we want to have a figure of merit that is independent of the software implementation or the specific hardware used. We thus disregard the multiplying factor (t2 + t3) and simply say that T(Power1, n) increases as n, that is, in direct proportion to n. So we refer to the rate of growth of the running time and not the actual running time of an algorithm.
31 Later, we shall define a notation to explicitly specify such growth in quantities, known as asymptotic running time (time complexity of algorithms). Since, we are interested only in this measure and not the actual running time, we can concentrate on the behaviour of the loops within the algorithm, as they, generally, are the major contributors to the execution time of a program and/or function. If it is a recursive algorithm, our emphasis will be on finding the number of times the algorithm will call itself
32 COMPUTATIONAL COST AS A FUNCTION OF PROBLEM SIZE FOR A RANGE OF COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITIES From previous table we observe that for problems that exhibit exponential behaviour, only limited input data size is allowable. Thus, we can solve only very small problems with an algorithm that exhibits exponential behaviour. Assume that a computer can perform one million operations per second. Then, an algorithm having exponential behaviour with a sufficiently large problem size N, will take extremely long time-even longer than the age of the Earth. On the other extreme, for an algorithm with logarithmic dependence on N, a problem with N = 10 4 would require only 13 steps which amounts to about 13 microseconds of computer time. These examples emphasize how important it is to have an understanding of the behaviour of the algorithms as a function of the problem size. Also by analyzing the algorithms, a theoretical model or the value of the inherent computational complexity can be gauged.
33 In analyzing an algorithm we must also look at the operations in the problem, to determine which is the dominant one. Sometimes, in a particular problem a specific arithmetic expression is evaluated a number of times or a number of comparisons and/ or exchanges are made and they increase non-linearly as N grows. For example, computations, exchanges, and comparisons characterize most sorting algorithms. In such algorithms, the number of comparisons dominate and therefore we use comparisons as the dominant operation in our computational model for sorting algorithms.
34 ORDER NOTATION The Order Notation is a standard notation developed to denote the computing time (or space) of algorithms and bounds on the upper limit or the lower limit on the computing time (or space) of algorithms. It refers collectively to the Big-Oh, the Theta, the Omega and the Small-Oh notations. An algorithm in which the dominant mechanism (one which is most executed) does not exceed c * n 2 times, where c is a constant and n is the problem size, is said to have an order n 2 complexity which is expressed as O(n 2 ).
35 BIG-OH NOTATION Formally, a function g(n) is O(f(n)) provided there exists a constant c for which the relationship g(n) <= c.f(n) holds for all values of n that are finite and positive. Thus we have a means of characterizing the asymptotic complexity of algorithms and hence of determining the size of problems that it can solve, using a conventional sequential computer. The order notation Big-Oh is defined as follows:
36
37
38 THETA NOTATION The Theta notation is defined as: Let g(n) be an asymptotically non-negative function on the set of natural numbers. In other words, function f(n) belongs to Θ(g(n)) if it can be sandwiched between c 1 g(n) and c 2 g(n) for some constants c l, c 2 for all n greater than some no. See Fig
39
40 PROPERTIES OF THETA Assume f(n) and g(n) are asymptotically positive. Then, If f(n) and g(n) are the running times of the two branches of an if statement, then the above result can be used to get a tight bound on the worst-case running time of the entire if statement, assuming that nothing is known about the condition test of if. Such a situation may arise, for example, if the condition test depends on an unknown input.
41 OMEGA NOTATION The Omega notation is defined as: Let g(n) be an asymptotically non-negative function on the set of natural numbers.
42
43
44
45 SMALL-OH NOTATION The upper bound provided by O may or may not be tight. We use Small-oh, o for an upper bound which is not tight. Let g(n) be an asymptotically non-negative function on the set of natural numbers. The implication of this definition is that f(n) becomes insignificant relative to g(n) as n approaches infinity. For example,
46 W NOTATION The lower bound provided by Ω may or may not be tight. We use ω for an lower bound which is not tight. Let g(n) be an asymptotically non-negative function on the set of natural numbers. The implication of this definition is that g(n) becomes insignificant relative to f(n) as n approaches infinity. For example,
47 EXAMPLE
48 MEASURING THE EXECUTION TIMES While working with the big-oh notation, we discarded the multiplicative constants. The functions f(n)=0.001n 2 and g(n)=1000n 2 are treated identically, even though g(n) is a million times larger than f(n) for all values of n. The rationale behind this attitude is illustrated by previous Table, which tabulates the growth rate of several functions arising in algorithm analysis, on problems of reasonable size, denoted by n. Specifically, assuming that each operation in previous Table takes 1 nano second, we can draw the following conclusions. 1) The algorithms of all complexity classes take roughly the same amount of time for n <= 10. 2) The algorithm whose running time is n! becomes useless well before n=20. 3) The algorithm whose running time is 2 n has a greater operating range than the one with running time of n!, but it becomes impractical for n > 40. 4) The algorithm whose running time is n 2 is perfectly reasonable up to about n = l00, but it quickly deteriorates with larger n. For n > it is likely to be unusable. 5) The algorithms whose complexity is n and n log n remain practically usable with the size of input up to ) All algorithms which exhibit log n behaviour are always usable.
49 This discussion shows that as far as selection of an algorithm is concerned, we can generally go by its complexity in terms of order notations, but to select between actual implementations, we should compare the actual execution times, or derive the multiplying constants, as suggested later in later chapter. For example, even though an algorithm with a complexity of n 3 will be considered to be slower compared to the one with a complexity of n 2, for n< the former will be faster, if the multiplying factor for the second algorithm is , that is, its complexity is n 2 Empirical execution times of the algorithms or parts thereof can be done by using various measuring devices-both hardware and software-that are available. Usually software solutions are used, though hardware solutions give better accuracy. These tools are generally called monitors or profiling software.
50 INTERATIVE AND RECURSIVE METHOD FOR X N Consider Algo. of power1 and power2, for calculating x n : Algo. Of power1 uses the definition of an integer power x n = x * x *... * x n times. Let us define f1(n) to be the number of multiplications required by Power1(n) to compute x n as a function of n. Thus f1(n) = n - 1 and these multiplications are always executed.
51 Second algorithm is a recursive algorithm and depends upon the fact that x n can be calculated by squaring x [n/2], and then multiplying the result by x if n was odd. If power1 was used to compute x [n/2], it will require only half the number of multiplications, then we require one more multiplication to square it. In fact this argument can be used recursively, to further divide [n/2] by two, and so on. See second Algorithm and the following trace of the working of power2(2, 5) is obtained:
52
53 How many multiplications are done? only 3, compared to the 4 that would have been required with power1(). Thus we define f2(n) to be the number of multiplications needed by power2(). If n is even on every recursive invocation of power2(), then the minimum of multiplications will be needed. On the other hand, if n is odd every time, then the maximum number of multiplications will be required. The first case occurs when n = 2 k, for some positive k
54
55 This discussion shows that the number of multiplications required log 2 n. We went through the detailed analysis of these two algorithms because what follows is important. The first is a simple straight forward algorithm, seemingly inefficient, the second is a complicated, but more efficient algorithm.
56 WHICH ONE SHOULD BE USED BY A USER? 1) If the user needs to compute the exponentials of small powers, that is, n is small, say 5 or less, then the number of multiplications saved by power2() compared to power1() will be quite small. Further, the programmer may require a significant amount of time to understand, implement, debug and test the more complicated power2(). As it is the programmer's (human) time that is valuable and not the computer's, use power1() in this case. 2) On the other hand, if exponentials to large integer powers are to be calculated, and there are many instances of these in a program, example, they are within a large loop, then power2() should be used. Suppose in a program X 256 is to be calculated times, then power1() will require multiplications, while power2() will require multiplications. That is where power2() will be needed to outperform power1().
57 CHANGES IN COMPLEXITY ACHIEVED BY A SMALL ADJUSTMENT IN THE ALGORITHM Check the example of bogo sort given in book, It shows how little change in algorithm increase the efficiency of program. In that example efficiency increase from O(n!) to O(n 2 )
