Greedy Algorithm Greedy algorithms aim for the best solution at the moment without considering future consequences. They are used in problem solving, such as the Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithms for finding the minimum spanning tree in a graph. Backtracking Algorithm This type is used in constrai...
In computer programming terms, an algorithm is a set of well-defined instructions to solve a particular problem. It takes a set of input(s) and produces the desired output. For example, An algorithm to add two numbers: Take two number inputs ...
An algorithm begins with an initial state and follows a series of steps to achieve a desired end state or output. Each step in an algorithm is typically straightforward and unambiguous, ensuring that it can be implemented consistently. The efficiency of an algorithm is a critical aspect, often ...

Honestly, simulating algorithms is a time-consuming and thankless approach. Once you make a small mistake in hundreds of lines of code but fail to find it, or even didn't plan to find any because you have passed the sample, then you are all done....
Using a greedy algorithm, one can match a -heavy prime to each -heavy prime (counting multiplicity) in such a way that for a small (in most cases one can make , and often one also has ). If we then replace in the factorization of by for each -heavy prime , this increases (and ...
CART (classification/regression):“Classification and regression tree”; a greedy algorithm that optimizes for minimum impurity in result sets CHAID (classification/regression):“Chi-square automatic interaction detection”; uses chi-squared measurements instead of entropy and information gain ...
Many “greedy algorithm” arguments are of this type. The proof of the Hahn decomposition theorem in measure theory also falls into this category. The general strategy here is to keep looking for useful pieces of mass outside of , and add them to to form , thus exploiting the additivity ...
I have implemented the Value and Policy Iteration algorithm in the code below. def mdp_valueIteration(states,T,R, gamma = 0.90, epsilon = 0.01): # VALUE AND POLICY ITERATION # states : Array which includes the names of the n states being studied. # T : The transition probability matrix...
N-1 N-2 N-3 ... etc The main observation being that the smallest multiple of x that isn't x is 2x. Trivial observations are easy to miss and I didn't think of that until finding the construction. The second seems to be a mix of greedy thinking (use big numbers to escape the ...
