The maximum sum is 1, attained by giving one agent the item with value 1 and the other agent nothing. But the max-min allocation gives each agent value at least e, so the sum must be at most 3e. Therefore the POF is 1/(3e), which is unbounded. Alice has two items with values 1 and e, for some small e>0. George has two items with value e. The ...
Grenander was looking to find a rectangular subarray with maximum sum, in a two-dimensional array of real numbers. A brute-force algorithm for the two-dimensional problem runs in O(n 6) time; because this was prohibitively slow, Grenander proposed the one-dimensional problem to gain insight into its structure.
Whenever the sum of the current element in the first array and the current element in the second array is more than T, the algorithm moves to the next element in the first array. If it is less than T, the algorithm moves to the next element in the second array. If two elements that sum to T are found, it stops. (The sub-problem for two elements ...
Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).
For the case of two sequences of n and m elements, the running time of the dynamic programming approach is O(n × m). [2] For an arbitrary number of input sequences, the dynamic programming approach gives a solution in (=).
In the subset sum problem, the goal is to find a subset of S whose sum is a certain target number T given as input (the partition problem is the special case in which T is half the sum of S). In multiway number partitioning , there is an integer parameter k , and the goal is to decide whether S can be partitioned into k subsets of equal sum ...
In array languages, operations are generalized to apply to both scalars and arrays. Thus, a+b expresses the sum of two scalars if a and b are scalars, or the sum of two arrays if they are arrays. An array language simplifies programming but possibly at a cost known as the abstraction penalty.
The k-way merge problem consists of merging k sorted arrays to produce a single sorted array with the same elements. Denote by n the total number of elements. n is equal to the size of the output array and the sum of the sizes of the k input arrays. For simplicity, we assume that none of the input arrays is empty.
