Catalogue data
| Abstract | This course unit looks into algorithmic approaches to the solving of hard problems, particularly with moderately exponential-time algorithms and parameterized algorithms. The seminar is accompanied by a comprehensive reflection upon the significance of the approaches presented for computer science tuition at high schools. |
| Objective | To systematically acquire an overview of the methods for solving hard problems. To get deeper knowledge of exact and parameterized algorithms. |
| Content | First, the concept of hardness of computation is introduced (repeated for the computer science students). Then some methods for solving hard problems are treated in a systematic way. For each algorithm design method, it is discussed what guarantees it can give and how we pay for the improved efficiency. A special focus lies on moderately exponential-time algorithms and parameterized algorithms. |
