  1. Lecture 19 CSE 331 Oct 10, 2016

  2. Quiz starts at 1pm and ends at 1:10pm

  3. In 1(b), IGNORE time taken to initialize data structures

  4. Lecture starts at 1:15pm

  5. Pitch grading half done Please wait for grading rubric before asking grading questions

  6. Interval Scheduling Problem Input: n intervals [s(i), f(i)) for 1≤ i ≤ n Output: A scheduleS of the n intervals No two intervals in S conflict |S| is maximized

  7. Analyzing the algorithm R: set of requests S* has no conflicts Set S to be the empty set While R is not empty Choose i in R with the earliest finish time S* is an optimal solution Add i to S Remove all requests that conflict with i from R Return S* = S

  8. Greedy “stays ahead” Greedy OPT

  9. Today’s agenda Prove the correctness Analyze run-time of the greedy algorithm

  10. Algorithm implementation Go through the intervals in order of their finish time 3 How can you tell in O(1) time if any of 2,3 or 4 conflict with 1? Check if s[i] < f(1) 2 1 4 O(n log n) run time In general, if jth interval is the last one chosen Pick smallest i>j such that s[i] ≥ f(j)

  11. The final algo O(n log n) time sort intervals such that f(i) ≤ f(i+1) O(n) time build array s[1..n]s.t. s[i] = start time for i Add 1 to A and set f = f(1) For i = 2 .. n If s[i] ≥ f Add i to A Set f = f(i) Return A* = A
