Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

We will study advanced topics in algorithms and data structures, such as:

- approximation algorithms
- linear programming
- advanced graph algorithms, e.g. for maximum flow
- advanced analysis techniques
- advanced data structures, e.g. heaps and Bloom filters
- randomized algorithms
- online algorithms and competitive analysis
- data stream algorithms

On successful completion of this course, you will have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of state-of-the-art algorithmic techniques in various areas.

The schedule consists of interactive lectures as well as homework discussions.

The course has a strong focus on theoretical understanding and mathematical precision and moves rather fast. It is highly recommended that you have successfully completed courses equivalent to the following:

- basics in discrete mathematics and linear algebra, e.g. 051110 VO Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science 1
- basic and intermediate topics in algorithms and data structures, e.g. 051024 VU Algorithms and Data Structures 1 and 052100 VU Algorithms and Data Structures 2
- basics in stochastics (probabilities), e.g. 051130 Introductory Statistics

If you are unsure whether you meet these prerequirements, please come and speak to us.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

A total of 100 regular points (100%) can be reached.

In each of the two halves of the semester, there will be
- 1 written exam (90 minutes) for up to 40 regular points,
- 2 homework sheets with several small problems each, one of them needs to be presented in class for up to 10 regular points,
resulting in 2 * (40 + 10) = 100 regular points.

Up to 20 bonus points can be reached:
- 5 bonus points if you miss at most 3 classes (-1 for every further missed class)
- up to 5 bonus points for active participation in class and on Moodle
- up to 10 bonus points for solving extra problems on a homework sheet

Preliminary dates for the exams:
midterm exam: Monday, November 27, 2023
final exam: Tuesday, January 30, 2024

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

If P is the sum of regular and bonus points received, your grade will be:

1, if P >= 89,
2, if P >= 76,
3, if P >= 63,
4, if P >= 50,
5, otherwise.

Presence is mandatory for the first lecture. Otherwise, it is not a requirement, but strongly recommended.
If you fail to show up for an exam, you will receive 0 points for this exam.

Homework sheets must be submitted before the deadline to be eligible for presentation in class. You can indicate for each problem on a homework sheet whether you would be willing to present it. The presenter for each problem is chosen by the instructors among all those that are willing to present, with ties broken randomly. There will be enough problems so that each student can present twice if everyone is willing to present all problems. If you fail to submit a homework sheet or are not chosen for presentation because you were unwilling to present many of the subproblems or are chosen to present but don't show up, you will receive 0 points.
