and 6.
Dynamic Programming
•
•
Dynamic Programming algorithms address
problems whose solution is recursive in nature,
but has the following property: The direct
implementation of the recursive solution results
in identical recursive calls that are executed
more than once.
Dynamic programming implements such
algorithms by evaluating the recurrence in a
bottom-up manner, saving intermediate results
that are later used in computing the desired
solution

Optimization Problems and
Dynamic Programming
•
Optimization problems with certain properties make
another class of problems that can be solved more
efficiently using dynamic programming.
Development of a dynamic programming solution to an
optimization problem involves four steps
•
–
Characterize the structure of an optimal solution
•
•
–
–
–
Optimal substructures, where an optimal solution consists of subsolutions that are optimal.
Overlapping sub-problems where the space of sub-problems is small in
the sense that the algorithm solves the same sub-problems over and
over rather than generating new sub-problems.
Recursively define the value of an optimal solution.
Compute the value of an optimal solution in a bottom-up
manner.
Construct an optimal solution from the computed optimal
value.
Longest Common Subsequence Problem
•
•
•
Problem Definition: Given two strings A and B
over alphabet , determine the length of the
longest subsequence that is common in A and B.
A subsequence of A=a1a2…an is a string of the
form ai1ai2…aik where 1i1<i2<…<ik n
Example: Let = { x , y , z }, A = xyxyxxzy,
B=yxyyzxy, and C= zzyyxyz
–
–
–
LCS(A,B)=yxyzy
LCS(B,C)=
LCS(A,C)=
Hence the length =
Hence the length =
Hence the length =
Straight-Forward Solution
• Brute-force search
– How many subsequences exist in a string of
length n?
– How much time needed to check a string
whether it is a subsequence of another string of
length m?
– What is the time complexity of the brute-force
search algorithm of finding the length of the
longest common subsequence of two strings of
sizes n and m?
Dynamic Programming Solution
• Let L[i,j] denote the length of the longest
common subsequence of a1a2…ai and
b1b2…bj, which are substrings of A and B of
lengths n and m, respectively. Then
L[i,j] =
L[i,j] =
L[i,j] =
when i = 0 or j = 0
when i > 0, j > 0, ai=bj
when i > 0, j > 0, aibj
LCS Algorithm
Algorithm LCS(A,B)
Input: A and B strings of length n and m respectively
Output: Length of longest common subsequence of A and
B
Initialize L[i,0] and L[0,j] to zero;
for i ← 1 to n do
for j ← 1 to m do
if ai = bj then
L[i,j] ← 1 + L[i-1,j-1]
else
L[i,j] ← max(L[i-1,j],L[i,j-1])
end if
end for;
end for;
return L[n,m];

Complexity Analysis of LCS Algorithm
• What is the time and space complexity of
the algorithm?
Matrix Chain Multiplication
• Assume Matrices A, B, and C have dimensions
210, 102, and 210 respectively. The
number of scalar multiplications using the
standard Matrix multiplication algorithm for
– (A B) C is
– A (B C) is
• Problem Statement: Find the order of
multiplying n matrices in which the number of
scalar multiplications is minimum.
Straight-Forward Solution
• Again, let us consider the brute-force method. We
need to compute the number of different ways that
we can parenthesize the product of n matrices.
– e.g. how many different orderings do we have for the
product of four matrices?
– Let f(n) denote the number of ways to parenthesize the
product M1, M2, …, Mn.
• (M1M2…Mk) (M k+1M k+2…Mn)
• What is f(2), f(3) and f(1)?

Cost of Brute Force Method
• How many possibilities do we have for
parenthesizing n matrices?
• How much does it cost to find the number
of scalar multiplications for one
parenthesized expression?
• Therefore, the total cost is
The Recursive Solution
– Since the number of columns of each matrix Mi is
equal to the number of rows of Mi+1, we only need to
specify the number of rows of all the matrices, plus
the number of columns of the last matrix, r1, r2, …,
rn+1 respectively.
– Let the cost of multiplying the chain Mi…Mj (denoted
by Mi,j) be C[i,j]
– If k is an index between i+1 and j, what is the cost of
multiplying Mi,j considering multiplying Mi,k-1 with
Mk,j?
– Therefore, C[1,n]=

The Knapsack Problem
• Let U = {u1, u2, …, un} be a set of n items to
be packed in a knapsack of size C.
• Let sj and vj be the size and value of the jth
item, where sj, vj , 1 j n.
• The objective is to fill the knapsack with some
items from U whose total size does not exceed
C and whose total value is maximum.
– Assume that the size of each item does not exceed
C.
The Knapsack Problem Formulation
• Given n +ve integers in U, we want to find a
subset SU s.t.

knapsack of size j with items taken from the first i
items {u1, u2, …, ui} in an optimal way:

– The range of j is
– The objective is to find V[
