  2. Dynamic Programming • Another strategy for designing algorithms is dynamic programming • A metatechnique, not an algorithm (like divide & conquer) • The word “programming” is historical and predates computer programming • Use when problem breaks down into recurring small subproblems Mudasser Naseer 29/3/2014

  3. Dynamic Programming It is used, when the solution can be recursively described in terms of solutions to subproblems (optimal substructure) Algorithm finds solutions to subproblems and stores them in memory for later use More efficient than “brute-force methods”, which solve the same subproblems over and over again Mudasser Naseer 39/3/2014

  4. Dynamic Programming Example: Longest Common Subsequence • Longest common subsequence (LCS) problem: • Given two sequences x[1..m] and y[1..n], find the longest subsequence which occurs in both • Ex: x = {A B C B D A B }, y = {B D C A B A} • {B C} and {A A} are both subsequences of both • What is the LCS? • X = A BCB D A B Y = B D C A BA • Brute-force algorithm: For every subsequence of x, check if it’s a subsequence of y • How many subsequences of x are there? • What will be the running time of the brute-force alg? Mudasser Naseer 49/3/2014

  5. LCS Algorithm • Brute-force algorithm: 2m subsequences of x to check against n elements of y: O(n 2m) • We can do better: for now, let’s only worry about the problem of finding the length of LCS • When finished we will see how to backtrack from this solution back to the actual LCS • Notice LCS problem has optimal substructure • Subproblems: find LCS of pairs of prefixes of x and y Mudasser Naseer 59/3/2014

  6. Finding LCS Length • First we’ll find the length of LCS. Later we’ll modify the algorithm to find LCS itself. • Define Xi, Yj to be the prefixes of X and Y of length i and j respectively i.e. X4 = A B C B and Y3 = B D C • Define c[i,j] to be the length of the LCS of x[1..i] and y[1..j] • What is the length of LCS of X and Y? c[m,n] • Theorem: Mudasser Naseer 69/3/2014

  7. LCS recursive solution • We start with i = j = 0 (empty substrings of x and y) • Since X0 and Y0 are empty strings, their LCS is always empty (i.e. c[0,0] = 0) • LCS of empty string and any other string is empty, so for every i and j: c[0, j] = c[i,0] = 0 Mudasser Naseer 79/3/2014

  8. LCS recursive solution • When we calculate c[i,j], we consider two cases: • First case:x[i]=y[j]: one more symbol in strings X and Y matches, so the length of LCS Xi and Yjequals to the length of LCS of smaller strings Xi-1 and Yi-1 , plus 1 Mudasser Naseer 89/3/2014

  9. LCS recursive solution • Second case:x[i]!= y[j] • As symbols don’t match, our solution is not improved, and the length of LCS(Xi , Yj) is the same as before (i.e. maximum of LCS(Xi, Yj-1) and LCS(Xi-1,Yj) Why not just take the length of LCS(Xi-1, Yj-1) ? Mudasser Naseer 99/3/2014

  10. LCS recursive solution • Either Xi or Yj be the part of LCS but not both. May be both are not part of the LCS. • If Xi is not part of LCS then LCS(Xi-1,Yj) • If Yj is not part of LCS then LCS(Xi,Yj-1) Mudasser Naseer 109/3/2014

  11. LCS Algorithm LCS-Length(X, Y) 1. m = length(X) // get the # of symbols in X 2. n = length(Y) // get the # of symbols in Y 3. for i = 1 to m c[i,0] = 0 // special case: Y0 4. for j = 1 to n c[0,j] = 0 // special case: X0 5. for i = 1 to m // for all Xi 6. for j = 1 to n // for all Yj 7. if ( Xi == Yj ) 8. c[i,j] = c[i-1,j-1] + 1 9. else c[i,j] = max( c[i-1,j], c[i,j-1] ) 10. return c Mudasser Naseer 119/3/2014

  12. LCS Example We’ll see how LCS algorithm works on the following example: • X = ABCB • Y = BDCAB What is the Longest Common Subsequence of X and Y? LCS(X, Y) = BCB X = A BCB Y = B D C A B

  28. LCS Algorithm Running Time • LCS algorithm calculates the values of each entry of the array c[m,n] • So what is the running time? O(m*n) since each c[i,j] is calculated in constant time, and there are m*n elements in the array

  29. How to find actual LCS • So far, we have just found the length of LCS, but not LCS itself. • We want to modify this algorithm to make it output Longest Common Subsequence of X and Y Each c[i,j] depends on c[i-1,j]and c[i,j-1] or c[i-1, j-1] For each c[i,j] we can say how it was acquired: For example, here c[i,j] = c[i-1,j-1] +1 = 2+1=3 2 2 2 3

  30. How to find actual LCS - continued • Remember that • So we can start from c[m,n] and go backwards • Whenever c[i,j] = c[i-1, j-1]+1, remember x[i] (because x[i] is a part of LCS) • When i=0 or j=0 (i.e. we reached the beginning), output remembered letters in reverse order
