Abstract

We review basic algorithm structure and provide a brief and dense review of the main principles of sequential algorithm design and analysis with focus on graph algorithms. We then provide a short survey of NP-completeness with example NP-hard graph problems. Finally, we briefly review the major algorithm design methods showing their implementations for graph problems.
