Weighted interval scheduling proof. i∈S vi. How to find the solution itself? We can reconstruct it from the table. We will schedule this request (receiving the profit of vn) and then we must eliminate all the requests whose intervals overlap this one. There are 7 main steps to a dynamic programming algorithm-proof pair. . Step 1: De ne your sub-problem. To match our notation, vi = wi. Our goal is to find a set of nonoverlapping intervals maximizing. Because requests have been sorted by finish time, this involves finding the largest index p such that fp < sn. Recall the interval scheduling problem: given intervals for , find a largest possible subset of nonoverlapping intervals. Our goal is to choose a set S of compatible jobs whose total weight P i2S wi is maximized. We ask if the last interval part of the optimal solution? We illustrate this approach through three different examples, two of which are variants of problems that we discussed in the first lecture – weighted interval scheduling and shortest paths. Weighted Interval Scheduling: given n jobs, each with start time sj, finish time fj and value vj find the compatible schedule with maximum total value. We have seen that a particular greedy algorithm produces an optimal solution to the Interval Scheduling Problem, where the goal is to accept as large a set of nonoverlapping intervals as possible. For each interval, we want to compute a value p[i], which is the interval j with the latest finish time fj such that fj ≤ si; that is, the last-ending interval that finishes before interval i starts. Describe in words what your sub-problem means. New twist: Interval has a value vi . A dynamic programming algorithm computes the optimal value.
