[Solved]: Understanding Expected Running Time of Randomized Algorithms
Problem Detail: I want to understand the expected running time and the worse-case expected running time. I got confused when I saw this figure (source), where $I$ is the input and $S$ is the sequence of random numbers. What I don’t Read More …
[Solved]: How to prove polynomial time equivalence?
Problem Detail: Define the problem $W$: Input: A multi-set of numbers $S$, and a number $t$. Question: What is the smallest subset $s subseteq S$ so that $sum_{k in s} k = t$, if there is one? (If not, return none.) Read More …
[Solved]: Compute the Hamming code with odd parity for the memory word 1101 1001 0001 1011
Problem Detail: This is the problem I have: Compute the Hamming code with odd parity for the memory word 1101 1001 0001 1011 (2 pts.). In your solution, mark the parity bits as in the following example, where parity bits are: Read More …
[Solved]: Polynomial-time algorithm with exponential space is eligible?
Problem Detail: I’m curious about two things. When we define the class called “probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm” in computer science, does it include polynomial-time algorithm with exponential space? For example, when algorithm is considered to be given a input from domain ${0,1}^n$, Read More …
[Solved]: Difference between Binomial and Fibonacci heap (marking)
Problem Detail: I am confused why Binomial heaps do not utilize marking. Concerning Fibonacci heap children: Each tree in a Fibonacci heap is allowed to lose at most two children before that tree needs to be “reprocessed” at a later step. Read More …
[Solved]: Is there a “sorting” algorithm which returns a random permutation when using a coin-flip comparator?
Problem Detail: Inspired by this question in which the asker wants to know if the running time changes when the comparator used in a standard search algorithm is replaced by a fair coin-flip, and also Microsoft’s prominent failure to write a Read More …
[Solved]: how do I find a undecidable subset of a set that’s decidable?
Problem Detail: Given that Let S = {a | |a| is odd}. I know that since S is decidable, but does there exist a subset within S that is undecidable? Asked By : user3277633 Answered By : Yuval Filmus Hint: For every language Read More …
[Solved]: What Is The Complexity of Implementing a Particle Filter?
Problem Detail: In a video discussing the merits of particle filters for localization, it was implied that there is some ambiguity about the complexity cost of particle filter implementations. Is this correct? Could someone explain this? Asked By : DorkRawk Answered By Read More …
[Solved]: The difference between theoretical complexity and practical efficiency
Problem Detail: If I have this pseudocode: for i=0 to n/2 do for j=0 to n/2 do … do anything …. The number of iterations is $n^2/4$. What is the complexity of this program? Is it $O(n^2)$? What is the intuition Read More …
