Brand new edition of the text that helped establish computer algorithms as discipline of computer science -- a thoroughly revised and updated edition. Using the popular object-oriented language C++, the text incorporates the latest research and state-of-the-art applications, bringing this classic to the forefront of modern computer science education. A major strength of this text is its focus on design techniques rather than on individual algorithms.Computer Algorithms/C++ emphasizes: * Design techniques: Divide and conquer, the greedy method, dynamic programming, backtracking and branch and bound are illustrated with several examples. Each algorithm is completely analyzed. * Examples: A wide range of examples provides students with the actual implementation of correct design. * The latest research: A thorough treatment of probabilistic and parallel algorithms is included. * Full integration of randomized algorithms: Performance with nonrandomized algorithms is thoroughly compared. Computer Algorithms/C++ is appropriate as a core text for upper- and graduate-level analysis of algorithms courses.
