Overview
Step into the area of more complex problems and learn advanced algorithms to help solve them.
This NP-Complete Problems Certificate at University of California, San Diego - UC San DiegoX, part of the Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters program, discusses inherently hard problems that you will come across in the real-world that do not have a known provably efficient algorithm, known as NP-Complete problems.
You will practice solving large instances of some of these problems despite their hardness using very efficient specialized software and algorithmic techniques including:
- SAT-solvers
- Approximate algorithms
- Special cases of NP-hard problems
- Heuristic algorithms
What you'll learn
- NP-completeness and how to deal with it
- How to approximate algorithms
- How to use heuristic algorithms to solve a problem more quickly when classic methods are too slow
