EECS 279: Approximation Algorithms


Units: 4

Optimization problems are prevalent in many disciplines, and computer science is no exception. Unfortunately, numerous optimization problems are computationally hard (e.g. NP-hard), hence resist efficient algorithms. Covers various approximation algorithms which are polynomial time heuristics that aim to give a solution close to the optimum for all inputs.
