Minimum Product Subset of an array

For a given array of elements, we have to find the non-empty subset having the minimum product. We will explore two techniques brute force O(2^N) and Greedy algorithm O(N)

Maximum Product Subset of an array

For a given array of elements, we have to find the non-empty subset having the maximum product. We will explore two techniques brute force O(2^N) and Greedy algorithm O(N)

Greedy approach to find a single maximal clique in O(V^2) time complexity

There can be more than one single maximal clique in a non-complete graph (since complete graph is a maximal clique itself). To find a single maximal clique in a graph we use a straightforward greedy algorithm in O(V^2) time complexity

Algorithms

Divide numbers from 1 to n into two groups with minimum sum difference from O(2^N) to O(N)

For numbers from 1 to given n, we have to find the division of the elements into two groups having minimum absolute sum difference. We will explore two techniques Brute force which will take O(2^N) time complexity and Greedy algorithm which will take O(N) time complexity

Algorithms

Activity Selection Problem using Greedy algorithm

For activity selection, Dynamic Programming Approach takes O(n^3) time while Greedy Approach takes O(N) time when unsorted and O(n log n) when sorted. It follows Greedy approach as at every step, we make a choice that looks best at the moment to get the optimal solution of the complete problem

Graph Coloring Greedy Algorithm [O(V^2 + E) time complexity]

In this article, we have explored the greedy algorithm for graph colouring. graph coloring is a special case of graph labeling ; it is an assignment of labels traditionally called "colors" to elements of a graph subject to certain constraints.

Kruskal Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm

Kruskal's algorithm is a minimum-spanning-tree algorithm which finds an edge of the least possible weight that connects any two trees in the forest. It is a greedy algorithm in graph theory as it finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph adding increasing cost arcs at each step
