  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. Ford–Fulkerson algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford–Fulkerson_algorithm

    The Ford–Fulkerson method or Ford–Fulkerson algorithm (FFA) is a greedy algorithm that computes the maximum flow in a flow network.It is sometimes called a "method" instead of an "algorithm" as the approach to finding augmenting paths in a residual graph is not fully specified [1] or it is specified in several implementations with different running times. [2]

  4. Prim's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prim's_algorithm

    In computer science, Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph. This means it finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized. The algorithm operates by building this tree one vertex at a ...

  5. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    Unlike the unweighted version, there is no greedy solution to the weighted activity selection problem. However, a dynamic programming solution can readily be formed using the following approach: [1] Consider an optimal solution containing activity k. We now have non-overlapping activities on the left and right of k. We can recursively find ...

  6. 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.

  7. Kruskal's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal's_algorithm

    It is a greedy algorithm that in each step adds to the forest the lowest-weight edge that will not form a cycle. [2] The key steps of the algorithm are sorting and the use of a disjoint-set data structure to detect cycles. Its running time is dominated by the time to sort all of the graph edges by their weight.

  9. Optimal substructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_substructure

    Consider finding a shortest path for traveling between two cities by car, as illustrated in Figure 1. Such an example is likely to exhibit optimal substructure. That is, if the shortest route from Seattle to Los Angeles passes through Portland and then Sacramento, then the shortest route from Portland to Los Angeles must pass through Sacramento too.
