In particular, the applications in the book use algorithms that focus on data structures on sequences, also called strings, which are widely used in computer science, computational biology, and information theory. Specific techniques covered include the inclusion-exclusion principle, the first and second moment methods, the random coding technique, the subadditive ergodic theorem, large deviations, generating functions, complex asymptotic methods, the Mellin transform, and analytic poissonization and depoissonization. Each method is clearly explained and accompanied by related applications and problems involving algorithms on sequences. Important features of the book include:

Publisher Description: Zufallsgesteuerte Algorithmen erwiesen sich im Laufe des letzten Jahrzehnts in vielen Zusammenhängen als sehr erfolgreich, darunter in der computergestützten Geometrie, der Visualisierung naturwissenschaftlicher Daten, der Molekularbiologie und in der Informationstheorie. Dieser Band vereint mit einem ausgesprochen interdisziplinären Ansatz analytische und probabilistische Theorien. Jedes Kapitel wird durch Übungsaufgaben und weiterführende Anmerkungen ergänzt. |
