  2. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    The matching pursuit is an example of a greedy algorithm applied on signal approximation. A greedy algorithm finds the optimal solution to Malfatti's problem of finding three disjoint circles within a given triangle that maximize the total area of the circles; it is conjectured that the same greedy algorithm is optimal for any number of circles.

  3. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    Once the greedy choice is made, the problem reduces to finding an optimal solution for the subproblem. If A is an optimal solution to the original problem S containing the greedy choice, then A ′ = A ∖ { 1 } {\displaystyle A^{\prime }=A\setminus \{1\}} is an optimal solution to the activity-selection problem S ′ = { i ∈ S : s i ≥ f 1 ...

  4. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling. The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time. There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs. The LPT algorithm works as follows:

    But in complex situations it can easily fail to find the optimal scheduling. HEFT is essentially a greedy algorithm and incapable of making short-term sacrifices for long term benefits. Some improved algorithms based on HEFT look ahead to better estimate the quality of a scheduling decision can be used to trade run-time for scheduling performance.

  6. Optimal binary search tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_binary_search_tree

    A later simplification by Garsia and Wachs, the Garsia–Wachs algorithm, performs the same comparisons in the same order. The algorithm works by using a greedy algorithm to build a tree that has the optimal height for each leaf, but is out of order, and then constructing another binary search tree with the same heights.

  7. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    The following greedy algorithm finds a solution that contains at least 1/2 of the optimal number of intervals: [8] Select the interval, x, with the earliest finishing time. Remove x, and all intervals intersecting x, and all intervals in the same group of x, from the set of candidate intervals. Continue until the set of candidate intervals is ...

  8. Graph traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_traversal

    For general graphs, the best known algorithms for both undirected and directed graphs is a simple greedy algorithm: In the undirected case, the greedy tour is at most O(ln n)-times longer than an optimal tour. [1] The best lower bound known for any deterministic online algorithm is 10/3. [2]

  9. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    EDF is an optimal scheduling algorithm on preemptive uniprocessors, in the following sense: if a collection of independent jobs, each characterized by an arrival time, an execution requirement and a deadline, can be scheduled (by any algorithm) in a way that ensures all the jobs complete by their deadline, the EDF will schedule this collection ...
