1 Introduction to Algorithms
1. Algorithm Deffinitions
Definition 1

An algorithm is a finite sequence of precise instructions or steps for performing a computation or for solving
a problem (In computer science usually represent the algorithm by using pseudocode).

Example 1 (5 points) Describe an algorithm or write a pseudocode for finding the maximum (largest) value in
a finite sequence of integers.
procedure maximum({a1, a2, … , an}: integers) {
max = a1
for i = 2 to n
if max < ai then max = ai
return max
}

Example 2 (5 points) Describe an algorithm or write a pseudocode for finding the minimum value in a finite se-
quence of real number.

Example 3 (5 points) Describe an algorithm to calculate the average of a finite sequence of integers.

2. Searching Algorithms
Definition 2

The Linear Search Algorithm

procedure linearSearch({a1, a2, … , an}: integers, x: integer) {
i = 1
while i ≤ n {
if ai = x then return i
else i = i + 1
}
return -1
}

Definition 3
The Binary Search Algorithm

procedure binarySearch({a1, a2, … , an}: integers, x: integer) {
l = 1 //i is left endpoint of search interval
r = n //j is right endpoint of search interval
while l < r {
m = ⎣ + r) / 2 ⎦
(l
if x = am then return m
else if x > am then l = m + 1
else r = m - 1
}
return -1
}

2 Growth of Functions and Complexity of Algorithms
1. Big-O, Big-Ω and Big-Θ Notation
Definition 1

Let f and g be functions from the set of integers or the set of real numbers to the set of real numbers. We
say that f (x) is O(g(x)) if there are constants C and k such that
|f (x)| ≤ C|g(x)| whenever x > k. This is read as “f (x) is big-oh of g(x).”

Definition 2

say that f (x) is Ω(g(x)) if there are positive constants C and k such that
|f (x)| ≥ C|g(x)| whenever x > k. This is read as “f (x) is big-Omega of g(x).”

Definition 3

say that f (x) is Θ(g(x)) if there are real numbers C1 and C2 and a positive real number k such that
C1|g(x)| ≤ |f (x)| ≤ C2|g(x)| whenever x > k. We say that f (x) is Θ(g(x)) if f (x) is O(g(x)) and f (x) is Ω(g(x)).
This is read as “f (x) is big-Omega of g(x).”


Example 11 (4 points) Show that f(x) = x2 + 2x + 1 is O(x2).

Example 12 (4 points) Show that f(x) = 3x4 + 5x2 + 15 is O(x4).

Example 13 (4 points) Show that f(x) = 7x2 is O(x3) by replace x into f(x).

Example 14 (24 points) Estimate the growth of functions.

2. Time Complexity of Algorithms
The time complexity of an algorithm can be expressed in terms of the number of operations used by the
algorithm when the input has a particular size. The operations used to measure time complexity can be the
comparison of integers, the addition of integers, the multiplication of integers, the division of integers, or any
other basic operation.
Example 18 (5 points) Analyze the time complexity of Finding maximum value algorithm.
procedure maximum({a1, a2, … , an}: integers) {
max = a1
for i = 2 to n
if max < ai then max = ai
return max
}
