 Algorithm analysis and complexity
Techniques in Research
Computational complexity theory = the
study of the cost of solving problems.

Cost Measures the amount of resources

needed.
• time complexity.
• space complexity.

F(n) = complexity of an algorithm M .

Best case: The minimum value of f (n) for
any possible input.
Worst case: The maximum value of f (n)
for any possible input.
Average case: The value of which is in
between maximum and minimum for any
possible input.

 Algorithm analysis and complexity
Techniques in Research
Three basic asymptotic notations used to express the running time f(n), domain={1,2,3,
….}

•O (Big ‘oh’) : express Upper bound (maximum steps) to solve a problem.

•Ω (Big ‘omega’) : express Lower bound i.e. minimum (at least) steps to solve a
problem.
•Θ (“Theta‟) :express both Upper & Lower bound, also called tight bound.

Asymptotic comparison operator Numeric comparison operator

Our algorithm is o( something )
Our algorithm is O( something )
Our algorithm is Θ( something )
Our algorithm is Ω( something )
Our algorithm is ω( something )
A number is < something
A number is ≤ something
A number is = something
A number is ≥ something
A number is > something
 Tools used in Research
Graphics Tools

Types of graphics formats:

•Vector : a line is defined by 2 points, the text can be edited.

•Raster (or bitmap) : no. of dots/cm defines the quality of the drawing. Photograph

•Page description language (PDL) : programming language describing the appearance

of a printed page at a higher level than an actual output bitmap.
oAdobe’s PostScript (.ps),
oEncapsulated PostScript (.eps) and
oPortable Document Format (.pdf)

•Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) is commonly used for graphics

•It can contain both unstructured vector information as well as raster (bitmap) data

•Since it comprises a mixture of data, its quality and usability are variable

Desktop publishing (DTP)

•Developed principally on Macintosh
•Usage: From sketches and mock-ups to fashion, interior,web,coachwork design.

•Applications: DTP applications are provided by three major market players

- Adobe Illustrator
- Corel Draw
- Macromedia Freehand
 Raster applications are mainly
- Corel Painter (oriented towards painting)
-Corel Photo paint.

Main applications work with both raster and vector formats are
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Fireworks

 
 Tools used in Research
Graphics Tools
Computer-assisted drawing/design (CAD)
•Developed principally on IBM (International Business Machines)
•Usage: CAD applications used in design of complex systems that surpass human
ability Mechanical, Electronic engineering,Building,All types of graphical
representation (instructions for assembly and use)

Applications: The principal mechanical engineering applications

- Pro-Engineer, Catia, Inventor.
 
The principal building/architectural applications
- ArchiCAD , AutoCAD, Allplan
 
The principal electronic engineering applications
- Altium Designer, Eagle , Kicad

Presentation Tools
Presentation
•ways of communicating ideas and information to a group.
•allows immediate interaction between all the participants.

Presentation Software
•category of application program to create sequences of text and pictures that tell a
story or help support a speech or public presentation of information.

Presentation software can be divided into:

• Business presentation software:

ease- and quickness-of-learning and use. Enables to include images, sometimes with
audio and video developed with other tools.

•Multimedia authoring tools:

create a more sophisticated presentation that includes audio and video sequences.

 Scientific programming Language
MATLAB

MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory)

• high-performance language for technical computing
• computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use
environment

Typical uses include:

• Math and computation

• Algorithm development
• Modelling, simulation, and prototyping
• Data analysis, exploration, and visualization
• Scientific and engineering graphics
• Application development, including Graphical User Interface
building
Scientific programming Language
MATLAB
 Scientific programming Language
MATLAB

Some facts for a first impression

• Everything in MATLAB is a matrix !

• MATLAB is an interpreted language, no compilation needed (but possible)

• MATLAB does not need any variable declarations, no dimension statements, has
no packaging, no storage allocation, no pointers

• Programs can be run step by step, with full access to all variables, functions etc.
 Scientific programming Language
MATLAB

MATLAB consists of:

The MATLAB language

a high-level matrix/array language with control flow statements, functions, data
structures, input/output, and object-oriented programming features.

The MATLAB working environment

the set of tools and facilities that you work with as the MATLAB user or
programmer, including tools for developing, managing, debugging, and profiling

Handle Graphics
the MATLAB graphics system. It includes high-level commands for two-
dimensional and three-dimensional data visualization, image processing,
animation, and presentation graphics.
 Scientific programming Language
MATLAB

The MATLAB function library.

a vast collection of computational algorithms ranging from elementary functions
like sum, sine, cosine, and complex arithmetic, to more sophisticated functions like
matrix inverse, Bessel functions, and fast Fourier transforms as well as special
image processing related functions

The MATLAB Application Program Interface (API)

a library that allows you to write C and Fortran programs that interact with
MATLAB. It include facilities for calling routines from MATLAB (dynamic
linking), calling MATLAB as a computational engine, and for reading and writing
MAT-files.
 Searching for Publication

In order to search Authentic information ,four possible Resources are available.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism Detection
 Plagiarism Avoidance
How to avoid plagiarism?
By explain where you got your information.
Paraphrasing and Summarizing
•Paraphrase when you need to represent
another person's ideas and a quote is not
significant or suitable.
•To correctly paraphrase, change both
language and sentence structure.
•Summarize to provide the main points of
another person's argument in a condensed
format, briefer than a paraphrase.
•Avoid taking notes verbatim or using the
cut & paste tool.
Citing
•acknowledge and cited all sources of
borrowed ideas and materials.
•Prepared bibliography.
Quoting
•Use quotation marks whenever
quoting.
•Longer quotations should be
indicated by the citation.
•use quotations only when they
directly contribute to your
argument.
•Avoid quotations that only
provide detail, common
knowledge, or information that
can be more effectively
paraphrased.
 Plagiarism Software's

Always use Plagiarism software to check your papers for fair use.
