1. Dynamic Programming ACM Workshop 24 August 2011

2. Dynamic Programming Dynamic Programming is a programming technique that dramatically reduces the runtime of some algorithms from exponential to polynomial. Not all problems have DP characteristics Richard Bellman was one of the principal founders of this approach.

3. Recursion.for 21 1 1 0 0 i>1 i F i F i F F F The Fibonacci numbers are defined by the following recurrence:

4. Recursive code for Fibonacci Int fib(int n) { if(n==0 || n==1 ) return 1; else return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2); }

6. DP solution The above algo is of exponential order. You can have O(n) solution using DP

7. Tabular computation The tabular computation can avoid recompuation. 553421138532110 F 10 F9F9 F8F8 F7F7 F6F6 F5F5 F4F4 F3F3 F2F2 F1F1 F0F0

8. Two key ingredients Two key ingredients for an optimization problem to be suitable for a dynamic- programming solution: Each substructure is optimal. (Principle of optimality) 1. optimal substructures 2. overlapping subproblems Subproblems are dependent. (otherwise, a divide-and- conquer approach is the choice.)

9. Three basic components The development of a dynamic- programming algorithm has three basic components: The recurrence relation (for defining the value of an optimal solution); The tabular computation (for computing the value of an optimal solution); The traceback (for delivering an optimal solution).

10. Maximum sum You have a sequence of integers.You need the maximum sum from the continuous sub-sequences. Eg- 3, -4, 5, -7, 8, -6, 2 1, -14, -9, 19 Max sum from 8,-6,21 which gives 23 Brute-force is O(n^3). We can check sums of all sequences of different sizes from 1 to n.

11. Solving Problem is no problem. Actual problem is understanding the problem!!!

12. Formulation of Linear Recurrence Let S[i] be the max sum of a continuous sequence that starts with any index and ends at i. S[i]=max(Arr[i],Arr[i]+S[i-1])

13. DP Solution

14. Longest increasing subsequence(LIS) The longest increasing subsequence is to find a longest increasing subsequence of a given sequence of distinct integers a 1 a 2 …a n. e.g. 9 2 5 3 7 11 8 10 13 6 2 3 7 7 10 13 8 11 5 3 11 13 are increasing subsequences. are not increasing subsequences. We want to find a longest one.

15. A naive approach for LIS Let L[i] be the length of a longest increasing subsequence ending at position i. L[i] = 1 + max j = 0..to..i-1 {L[j] where a j < a i } Prev[j]=k 9 2 5 3 7 11 8 10 13 6

17. Binomial Coefficients (x + y) 2 = x 2 + 2xy + y 2, coefficients are 1,2,1 (x + y) 3 = x 3 + 3x 2 y + 3xy 2 + y 3, coefficients are 1,3,3,1 (x + y) 4 = x 4 + 4x 3 y + 6x 2 y 2 + 4xy 3 + y 4, coefficients are 1,4,6,4,1 (x + y) 5 = x 5 + 5x 4 y + 10x 3 y 2 + 10x 2 y 3 + 5xy 4 + y 5, coefficients are 1,5,10,10,5,1 The n+1 coefficients can be computed for (x + y) n according to the formula c(n, i) = n! / (i! * (n – i)!) for each of i = 0..n The repeated computation of all the factorials gets to be expensive We can use dynamic programming to save the factorials as we go

18. Solution by dynamic programming n c(n,0) c(n,1) c(n,2) c(n,3) c(n,4) c(n,5) c(n,6) 0 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 3 1 3 3 1 4 1 4 6 4 1 5 1 5 10 10 5 1 6 1 6 15 20 15 6 1 Each row depends only on the preceding row Only linear space and quadratic time are needed This algorithm is known as Pascals Triangle

19. Matrix-chain multiplication If the chain of matrices is A1, A2, A3, A4, the product A1 A2 A3 A4 can be fully parenthesized in five distinct ways: (A1 (A2 (A3 A4))), (A1 ((A2 A3) A4)), ((A1 A2) (A3 A4)), ((A1 (A2 A3)) A4), (((A1 A2) A3) A4).

20. Matrix-chain multiplication We can multiply two matrices A and B only if they are compatible: the number of columns of A must equal the number of rows of B. If A is a p × q matrix and B is a q × r matrix, the resulting matrix C is a p × r matrix.

21. Matrix-chain multiplication Three matrices: A1: 10 × 100, A2: 100 × 5, A3: 5 × 50 ((A1 A2) A3) -> we perform 10 · 100 · 5 = 5000 scalar multiplications to compute the 10 × 5 matrix product A1 A2, plus another 10 · 5 · 50 = 2500 scalar multiplications to multiply this matrix by A3, for a total of 7500 scalar multiplications. (A1 (A2 A3))-> we perform 100 · 5 · 50 = 25,000 scalar multiplications to compute the 100 × 50 matrix product A2 A3, plus another 10 ·100 · 50 = 50,000 scalar multiplications to multiply A1 by this matrix, for a total of 75,000scalar multiplications.

22. matrix-chain multiplication problem given a chain A1, A2,...,An of n matrices, where for i = 1, 2,..., n, matrix Ai has dimension pi-1 × pi, fully parenthesize the product A1 A2 An in a way that minimizes the number of scalar multiplications.

23. Step 2: A recursive solution Now we use our optimal substructure to show that we can construct an optimal solution to the problem from optimal solutions to subproblems.

24. The three expressions here represent the combinations - A2*(A3…A5) -(A2..A3)*(A4..A5) -(A.2...A4)*A5 Respectively.

29. Recursively the 0-1-knapsack problem can be formulated as: A(0, Y) = 0 A(j, 0) = 0 A(j, Y) = A(j 1, Y) if w j > Y A(j, Y) = max { A(j 1, Y), p j + A(j 1, Y w j ) } if w j Y. Recursive relation

30. Suppose we have gold bars of following weights 2,3,4 and we have a bag of capacity 5 kgs. Now using the dynamic programming approach we come up with following table. Dynamic programming approach
