Unit-4:Greedy Algorithms
Introduction:
●
In the algorithms w e have studied so far correctness tended to b e
easier than efficiency. In optimization problems we are interested
in finding a thing which maximizes or minimizes some function.
●
In computer science an optimization problem is the problem of
finding the best solution from all feasible solutions.
●
Optimization problems can be divided into two categories,
depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete:
●
An optimization problem with discrete variables is known as a
discrete optimization, in which an object such as an integer,
permutation or graph must be found from a countable set.
●
A problem with continuous variables is known as a continuous
optimization, in which an optimal value from a continuous function
must be found.
Design and Analysis of Algorithms (CSC-314)

Introduction:
●
In the algorithms w e have studied so far correctness
tended to b e easier than efficiency. In optimization
problems we are interested in finding a thing which
maximizes or minimizes some function.
●
In designing algorithms for optimization problem we must
prove that the algorithm in fact gives the best possible
solution.
●
Greedy algorithms which makes the b est lo cal decision
at each step occasionally produce a global optimum but
you need a proof !

Introduction:
●
A solution (set of values for the decision variables) for which
all of the constraints in the Solver model are satisfied is called
a feasible solution. In some problems, a feasible solution is
already known; in others, finding a feasible solution may be
the hardest part of the problem.
●
An optimal solution is a feasible solution where the objective
function reaches its maximum (or minimum) value – for
example, the most profit or the least cost.
●
A globally optimal solution is one where there are no other
feasible solutions with better objective function values.
●
A locally optimal solution is one where there are no other
feasible solutions “in the vicinity” with better objective function
values
Introduction:
●
Greedy is an algorithmic paradigm that builds up a
solution piece by piece, always choosing the next piece
that offers the most obvious and immediate benefit.
●
In other words A greedy algorithm is any algorithm that
follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally
optimal choice at each stage.
●
In many problems, a greedy strategy does not produce
an optimal solution, but a greedy heuristic can yield
locally optimal solutions that approximate a globally
optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time.

Introduction:
●
To prove that a greedy algorithm is optimal we must show the
following two characteristics are exhibited.
– Greedy Choice Property
●
We can make whatever choice seems best at the moment and
then solve the subproblems that arise later.
●
It iteratively makes one greedy choice after another, reducing
each given problem into a smaller one. In other words, a
greedy algorithm never reconsiders its choices.
●
Thus, optimal solutions can be obtained by creating greedy
choices
– Optimal Substructure Property
●
A problem exhibits optimal substructure if an optimal solution
to the problem contains optimal solutions to the sub-problems.

Introduction:
●
Elements of greedy strategy:
– A candidate set
●
A optimal solution is created from this set.
– A selection function
●
Used to select the best candidate to be added to solution.
– A feasibility function
●
Used to determined whether a candidate can be used to
contribute to the solution.
– An objective function
●
Used to assign the value to solution or partial solution
– A solutions function
●
Used to indicate whether the complete solution has been
reached.
Fractional Knapsack:

●
Statement:
– A thief has a bag or knapsack that can contain
maximum weight W of his loot.
– There are n items and the weight of ith item is wi and it
worth vi .
– Any amount of item can be put into the bag i.e. x i
fraction of item can be collected, where 0<=x i<=1.
– Here, the objective is to collect the items that
maximize the total profit earned.
– Here we arrange the items by ratio vi/wi.
●

●
Take as much of the item with the highest value per
weight (v i /w i ) as you can.
●
If the item is finished then move on to next item that has
highest (vi /w i ), continue this until the knapsack is full.
●
v[1 … n] and w[1 … n] contain the values and weights
respectively of the n objects sorted in non increasing
ordered of v[i]/w[i] .
●
W is the capacity of the knapsack, x[1 … n] is the
solution vector that includes fractional amount of items
and n is the number of items.

Fractional Knapsack: Pseudo Code ●
Here is a single loop involved
GreedyFracKnapsack(W,n) { so running time is O(n).
for(i=1; i<=n; i++) ●
But the main requirements is
x[i] = 0.0; sorting the v[1...n] and w[1...n],
tw = W; so we can use sorting
algorithms to sort it in O(nlogn).
for(i=1; i<=n; i++) {
if(w[i] > tw) ●
Thus its running time complexity
break; is O(nlogn)
else
x[i] = 1.0;
tw - = w[i];
}
if(i<=n)
x[i] = tw/w[i];
}
●
Examples: consider 3 items along with their weights and values
respectively.
I1 w1 = 10 v1 = 60
I2 w2 = 20 v2 = 100
I3 w3 = 30 v3 = 120
The knapsack has capacity W= 50, then find optimal profit earned by
using fractional knapsack.
●
Examples: consider 3 items along with their weights and values
respectively.
I1 w1 = 10 v1 = 60
I2 w2 = 20 v2 = 100
I3 w3 = 30 v3 = 120
The knapsack has capacity W= 50, then find optimal profit earned by
using fractional knapsack.
Solution: Step 1
Items Wi Vi
I1 10 60
I2 20 100
I3 30 120
Step 2: Calculate Pi= Vi/ Wi
Items Wi Vi Pi= Vi/ Wi
I1 10 60 6
I2 20 100 5
I3 30 120 4
– Step 3: Arranging the items in non increasing order of Pi

I1 10 60 6
I2 20 100 5
I3 30 120 4
– Step 3: Arranging the items in non increasing order of Pi
I1 10 60 6
I2 20 100 5
I3 30 120 4
Now Filling knapsack according to decreasing order of Pi

Since, 30 W = 120 v
i.e. 1 w =120/30 v = 4 v
20 w= 20 *4 v =80 v
Thus, maximum value = v1+v2+ new (v3) = 60+100+80 = 240 v
– Example (Practice): Consider five items along with their respective
weights and values.
●
I ={I1, I2, I3, I4, I5}
●
W= {5,10,20,30,40}
●
V ={ 30, 20, 100, 90, 160}
The knapsack has capacity W=60, then find optimal profit earned
by using fractional knapsack.
Job Sequencing with Deadline
●
We are given a set of n jobs. Associated with each job I,
di≥0 is an integer deadline and pi≥0 is profit.
●
For any job i profit is earned iff job is completed by
deadline. To complete a job one has to process a job for
one unit of time.

●
Here, let there are n numbers of job J={j1,j2,…...jn}
●
With corresponding deadline ={d1,d2,...dn}
●
Profit if job is completed within their deadline
={p1,p2….pn}
●
Only one machine is available for processing jobs.
●
Only one job is processed at a time on the machine.
●
So our aim is to find feasible subset of jobs such that
profit is maximum.

●
Example: From the set of given job we have to find the
sequence of job, which will be completed within their
deadlines and will give maximum profit. Each job is
associated with a deadline and profit.
Job {J1,j2,j3,j4,j5}
Deadline {2,1,3,2,1}
Profit {60,100,20,40,20}

●
Solution:Step 1Sort the job according to their profit in non increasing order:
Job {J2,j1,j4,j3,j5}
Deadline {1,2,2,3,1}
Profit {100,60,40,20,20}
Job Feasible/non-feasible Processing Sequence Total Profit
J2 Feasible {J2} 100
J1 Feasible {J2,J1} 100+60=160
J4 Not Feasible {J2,J1} 160
J3 Feasible {J2,J1,J3} 160+20=180
J5 Not Feasible {J2,J1,J3} 180
●
Thus, the sequence of job {J2,J1,J3} are being executed within their
deadline and gives maximum profit i.e. 100+60+20=180.

●
Example: Find the optimal Schedule for the following seven task given
values and deadline.
Job {j1,j2,j3, j4,j5,j6,j7}
Deadline {4,2,3,4,1,4,6}
Values {70,60,50,40,30,20,10}

Job Sequencing with Deadline :Pseudo Code
●
Let us consider, a set of n given jobs which are
associated with deadlines and profit is earned, if a job is
completed by its deadline. These jobs need to be
ordered in such a way that there is maximum profit.
●
It may happen that all of the given jobs may not be
completed within their deadlines.
● Assume, deadline of ith job Ji is di and the profit received
from this job is pi. Hence, the optimal solution of this
algorithm is a feasible solution with maximum profit.

Job Sequencing with Deadline :Pseudo Code
Job-Sequencing-With-Deadline (D, J, n, k)
D(0) = J(0) = 0
k=1
J(1) = 1 // means first job is selected
for i = 2 … n do
r=k
while D(J(r)) > D(i) and D(J(r)) ≠ r do
r := r – 1
if D(J(r)) ≤ D(i) and D(i) > r then Analysis:
for l = k … r + 1 by -1 do ●
In this algorithm, we are
using two loops, one is within
J(l + 1) := J(l)
another. Hence, the
J(r + 1) := i complexity of this algorithm
k := k + 1 is O(n*n)
Huffman Coding:
●
Huffman coding is a lossless data compression algorithm.
●
The idea is to assign variable-length codes to input
characters, lengths of the assigned codes are based on the
frequencies of corresponding characters.
●
The most frequent character gets the smallest code and the
least frequent character gets the largest code.
●
The variable-length codes assigned to input characters are
Prefix Codes, means the codes (bit sequences) are assigned
in such a way that the code assigned to one character is not
the prefix of code assigned to any other character.
●
This is how Huffman Coding makes sure that there is no
ambiguity when decoding the generated bit stream.
Huffman Coding:
●
Let us understand prefix codes with a counter example.
●
Let there be four characters a, b, c and d, and their
corresponding variable length codes be 00, 01, 0 and 1.
●
This coding leads to ambiguity because code assigned to
c is the prefix of codes assigned to a and b.
●
If the compressed bit stream is 0001, the de-compressed
output may be “cccd” or “ccb” or “acd” or “ab”.

Huffman Coding:
●
Here are mainly two major parts in Huffman Coding
– Build a Huffman Tree from input characters.
– Traverse the Huffman Tree and assign codes to
characters.
●

Huffman Coding: Compression Technique:
●
The technique works by creating a binary tree of nodes.
●
These can stored in a regular array, the size of which depends on the number
of symbols, n. A node can either be a leaf node or an internal node.
●
Initially all nodes are leaf nodes, which contain the symbol itself, its frequency
and optionally, a link to its child nodes.
●
As a convention, bit '0' represents left child and bit '1' represents right child.
Priority queue is used to store the nodes, which provides the node with lowest
frequency when popped. The process is described below:
– Create a leaf node for each symbol and add it to the priority queue.
– While there is more than one node in the queue:
●
Remove the two nodes of highest priority from the queue.
●
Create a new internal node with these two nodes as children and with
frequency equal to the sum of the two nodes' frequency.
●
Add the new node to the queue.
– The remaining node is the root node and the Huffman tree is complete..
Huffman Coding: Example
●
Consider following character with frequencies:
– Character ={a,b,c,d,e,f}
– Frequencies ={45,13,12,16,9,5}
●
Solution: Sorting according to frequencies in non decreasing order.
Character Frequencies
f 5
e 9
c 12
b 13
d 16
a 45
●
Here before using Huffman algorithm at least we need 3 bit to represent 5
character. so total number bits are= 5*3+9*3+12*3+13*3+16*3+45*3 =300
bits.

Huffman Coding: Now using Huffman algorithm
●

Huffman Coding:
●
Now from variable length code we get following code
sequence;
Character Frequencies Code
f 5 1100
e 9 1101
c 12 100
b 13 111
d 16 101
a 45 0
●
Number of bits required : 5*4+9*4+12*3+13*3+16*3+45*1 = 185 bits
– (300-185)/300*100 % = 38.33%
– i.e. we can save 38.33% space by using huffman coding.

Huffman Coding: Example

●
Trace the huffman algorithms for the given data.

Huffman Code:
The pseudo-code looks like:
Procedure Huffman(C):
related information
// C is the set of n characters and Analysis:
n = C.size ●
Here is a two loops
Q = priority_queue() involved running time
for i = 1 to n of each loop is O(n).
n = node(C[i])
Q.push(n)
●
we can use sorting
end for
algorithms to sort input
while Q.size() is not equal to 1
symbols in ascending
Z = new node()
order of their
Z.left = x = Q.pop
frequencies in
O(nlogn).
Z.right = y = Q.pop
Z.frequency = x.frequency + y.frequency ●
Thus its running time
Q.push(Z) complexity is O(nlogn)
end while
Return Q
Graphs:
●
A graph is essentially an interrelationship of nodes/vertices connected by
edges.
●
Generally, graphs are suited to real-world applications, such as graphs
can be used to illustrate a transportation system/network, where nodes
represent facilities that transfer or obtain products and edges show
routes or subways that connect nodes.

Graphs can be divided into two parts:
– Undirected: if for every pair of connected nodes, you can go
from one node to the other in both directions.
– Directed: if for every pair of connected nodes, you can only go
from one node to another in a specific direction. We use arrows
instead of simple lines to represent directed edges.
–

Graphs:
●
Weighted Graphs
– The weight graphs are the graphs where edges of the graph have “a
weight” or “cost” and also where weight could reflect distance, time,
money or anything that displays the “association” of a couple of
nodes it links. These weights are an essential element under
Dijkstra's Algorithm.

Dijkastra Shortest Path Algorithms:
●
This is an approach of getting single source shortest
paths.
●
In this algorithm it is assumed that there is no negative
weight edge. Dijkstra’s algorithm works using greedy
approach, as below:
●


●
Let's say, the distance of each node from the source is
kept in d[ ] array. As in, d[3] represents that d[3] time is
taken to reach node 3 from source.
●
If we don't know the distance, we will store infinity in d[3].
●
Also, let cost[u][v] represent the cost of u-v. That means
it takes cost[u][v] to go from u node to v node.

●
We need to understand Edge Relaxation. Let's say, from your house, that is
source, it takes 10 minutes to go to place A. And it takes 25 minutes to go to
place B. We have,
– d[A] = 10
– d[B] = 25
●
Now let's say it takes 7 minutes to go from place A to place B, that means:
cost[A][B] = 7
●
Then we can go to place B from source by going to place A from source and
then from place A, going to place B, which will take 10 + 7 = 17 minutes, instead
of 25 minutes. So,
●
d[B] = d[A] + cost[A][B]
●
This is called relaxation. We will go from node u to node v and if
d[u] + cost[u][v] < d[v] then we will update d[v] = d[u] + cost[u][v].

Dijkastra Shortest Path Algorithms: Consider a following problem:
●
Let's assume, Node 1 is the Source. Then,
– d[1] = 0
– d[2] = d[3] = d[4] = infinity
●
We set, d[2], d[3] and d[4] to infinity because
we don't know the distance yet.
●
And the distance of source is of course 0.
●
Now, we go to other nodes from source and if we can update them, then we'll push them in the queue.
●
Say for example, we'll traverse edge 1-2. As d[1] + 2 < d[2]
– Which will make d[2] = 2.
●
Similarly, we'll traverse edge 1-3 which makes d[3] = 5.
●
We can clearly see that 5 is not the shortest distance we can cross to go to node 3.
●
Then we go from node 2 to node 3 using edge 2-3, we can update d[3] = d[2] + 1 = 3.
●
Then we go from node 3 to node using edge 3-4, we can update d[4] = d[3] + 3 = 6.

Dijkastra Shortest Path Algorithms: Consider a following problem:
●
So we can see that one node can be updated many times.
●
How many times you ask?
●
The maximum number of times a node can be updated
is the number of in-degree of a node.
●
Thus we get all the shortest path vertex as:
– Weight form 1- 2= 2

Dijkastra Shortest Path Algorithms: Pseudo code
Dijkstra(G,w,s){ Analysis:
for each vertex vÎ V ●
In the above algorithm, the first for
do d[v] = ∞ loop block takes O(V) time.
p[v] = Nil ●
Initialization of priority queue Q
d[s] = 0 takes O(V) time.
S=Φ ●
The while loop executes for O(V),
Q=V where for each execution the block
inside the loop takes O(V) times .
While(Q!= Φ){
u = Take minimum from Q and delete. ●
Hence the total running time is
S = S  {u} O(V2 ).
for each vertex v adjacent to u
if d[v] > d[u] + w(u,v)
then d[v] = d[u] + w(u,v)
}
}
Dijkastra Shortest Path Algorithms: Example

●
Find the shortest path from the node S to other nodes in
the following graph. (Solution was done in class, see
your note books fro reference)

●
Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithms were covered in class
(see your note books if you have done seriously at that
time.)
