These are my lecture notes from CS681: Design and Analysis of Algo
rithms, a one-semester graduate course I taught at Cornell for
three consec utive fall semesters from '88 to '90. The course
serves a dual purpose: to cover core material in algorithms for
graduate students in computer science preparing for their PhD
qualifying exams, and to introduce theory students to some advanced
topics in the design and analysis of algorithms. The material is
thus a mixture of core and advanced topics. At first I meant these
notes to supplement and not supplant a textbook, but over the three
years they gradually took on a life of their own. In addition to
the notes, I depended heavily on the texts * A. V. Aho, J. E.
Hopcroft, and J. D. Ullman, The Design and Analysis of Computer
Algorithms. Addison-Wesley, 1975. * M. R. Garey and D. S. Johnson,
Computers and Intractibility: A Guide to the Theory of
NP-Completeness. w. H. Freeman, 1979. * R. E. Tarjan, Data
Structures and Network Algorithms. SIAM Regional Conference Series
in Applied Mathematics 44, 1983. and still recommend them as

Develop more productive habits in dealing with your manager. As a
professional in the business world, you care about doing your job
the right way. The quality of your work matters to you, both as a
professional and as a person. The company you work for cares about
making money and your boss is evaluated on that basis. Sometimes
those goals overlap, but the different priorities mean conflict is
inevitable. Take concrete steps to build a relationship with your
manager that helps both sides succeed. Guide your manager to treat
you as a vital member of the team who should be kept as happy and
productive as possible. When your manager insists on a course of
action you don't like, most employees feel they have only two
options: you can swallow your objections, or you can leave. Neither
option gets you what you want, which is for your manager to
consider your interests when making decisions. Challenging your
boss directly is risky, but if you understand what really matters
to your manager, you can build a balanced relationship that works
for both sides. Provide timely "good enough" answers that satisfy
the immediate need of the boss to move forward. Use a productive
solution to the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma to structure your
interactions with management, going along when necessary and
pushing back where appropriate, without threatening the loyalty
relationship. Send the two most important messages to your boss: "I
got this" and "I got your back," to prove your value to the boss
and the organization. Analyze your manager's communication
preferences so you can express your arguments in a way most likely
to be heard and understood. Avoid key traps, like thinking of the
boss as your friend or violating the chain of command
unnecessarily.
The aim of this textbook is to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to the basic theoretical models of computability, and to develop some of the model's rich and varied structure. Students who have already some experience with elementary discrete mathematics will find this a well-paced first course, and a number of supplementary chapters introduce more advanced concepts. The first part of the book is devoted to finite automata and their properties. Pushdown automata provide a broader class of models and enable the analysis of context-free languages. In the remaining chapters, Turing machines are introduced and the book culminates in discussions of effective computability, decidability, and Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Plenty of exercises are provided, ranging from the easy to the challenging. As a result, this text will make an ideal first course for students of computer science.

This textbook is uniquely written with dual purpose. It cover
cores material in the foundations of computing for graduate
students in computer science and also provides an introduction to
some more advanced topics for those intending further study in the
area. This innovative text focuses primarily on computational
complexity theory: the classification of computational problems in
terms of their inherent complexity. The book contains an invaluable
collection of lectures for first-year graduates on the theory of
computation. Topics and features include more than 40 lectures for
first year graduate students, and a dozen homework sets and
exercises.

combine precision with conciseness, enabling programs to be
constructed by formal calculation. Within this theme, the scope of
the series is very diverse, including programmingmethodology,
programspeci?cation and transformation, programming paradigms,
programming calculi, and programming language - mantics. The
quality of the papers submitted to the conference was in general
very high, and the number of submissions was comparable to that for
the previous conference. Each paper was refereed by at least four,
and often more, committee members. This volume contains 19 papers
selected for presentation by the program committee from 37
submissions, as well as the abstract of one invited talk: - tended

The introduction of functional programming concepts in Java SE 8
was a drastic change for this venerable object-oriented language.
Lambda expressions, method references, and streams fundamentally
changed the idioms of the language, and many developers have been
trying to catch up ever since. This cookbook will help. With more
than 70 detailed recipes, author Ken Kousen shows you how to use
the newest features of Java to solve a wide range of problems. For
developers comfortable with previous Java versions, this guide
covers nearly all of Java SE 8, and includes a chapter focused on
changes coming in Java 9. Need to understand how functional idioms
will change the way you write code? This cookbook—chock full of
use cases—is for you. Recipes cover: The basics of lambda
expressions and method references Interfaces in the
java.util.function package Stream operations for transforming and
filtering data Comparators and Collectors for sorting and
converting streaming data Combining lambdas, method references, and
streams Creating instances and extract values from Java’s
Optional type New I/O capabilities that support functional streams
The Date-Time API that replaces the legacy Date and Calendar
classes Mechanisms for experimenting with concurrency and
parallelism
Use Kotlin to build Android apps, web applications, and more-while
you learn the nuances of this popular language. With this unique
cookbook, developers will learn how to apply this Java-based
language to their own projects. Both experienced programmers and
those new to Kotlin will benefit from the practical recipes in this
book. Author Ken Kousen (Modern Java Recipes) shows you how to
solve problems with Kotlin by concentrating on your own use cases
rather than on basic syntax. You provide the context and this book
supplies the answers. Already big in Android development, Kotlin
can be used anywhere Java is applied, as well as for iOS
development, native applications, JavaScript generation, and more.
Jump in and build meaningful projects with Kotlin today. Apply
functional programming concepts, including lambdas, sequences, and
concurrency See how to use delegates, late initialization, and
scope functions Explore Java interoperability and access Java
libraries using Kotlin Add your own extension functions Use helpful
libraries such as JUnit 5 Get practical advice for working with
specific frameworks, like Android and Spring

Android adopted Gradle as the preferred build automation system a
few years ago, but many Android developers are still unfamiliar
with this open source tool. This hands-on guide provides a
collection of Gradle recipes to help you quickly and easily
accomplish the most common build tasks for your Android apps.
You'll learn how to customize project layouts, add dependencies,
and generate many different versions of your app. Gradle is based
on Groovy, yet very little knowledge of the JVM language is
required for you to get started. Code examples use Android SDK
version 23, with emulators from Marshmallow (Android 6) or Lollipop
(Android 5). If you're comfortable with Java and Android, you're
ready. Understand Gradle's generated build files for Android apps
Run Gradle from the command line or inside Android Studio Add more
Java libraries to your Android app Import and export Eclipse ADT
projects Digitally sign a Release APK for the Google Play store Use
product flavors to build many versions of the same app Add custom
tasks to the Gradle build process Test both your app's Android and
non-Android components Improve the performance of your Gradle build

This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Dynamic
Logic. Among the many approaches to formal reasoning about
programs, Dynamic Logic enjoys the singular advantage of being
strongly related to classical logic. Its variants constitute
natural generalizations and extensions of classical formalisms. For
example, Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) can be described as a
blend of three complementary classical ingredients: propositional
calculus, modal logic, and the algebra of regular events. In
First-Order Dynamic Logic (DL), the propositional calculus is
replaced by classical first-order predicate calculus. Dynamic Logic
is a system of remarkable unity that is theoretically rich as well
as of practical value. It can be used for formalizing correctness
specifications and proving rigorously that those specifications are
met by a particular program. Other uses include determining the
equivalence of programs, comparing the expressive power of various
programming constructs, and synthesizing programs from
specifications. This book provides the first comprehensive
introduction to Dynamic Logic. It is divided into three parts. The
first part reviews the appropriate fundamental concepts of logic
and computability theory and can stand alone as an introduction to
these topics. The second part discusses PDL and its variants, and
the third part discusses DL and its variants. Examples are provided
throughout, and exercises and a short historical section are
included at the end of each chapter.
