A timely book on a topic that has witnessed a surge of interestover the last decade, owing in part to several novel applications,most notably in data compression and computational molecularbiology. It describes methods employed in average case analysis ofalgorithms, combining both analytical and probabilistic tools in asingle volume.
* Tools are illustrated through problems on words with applicationsto molecular biology, data compression, security, and patternmatching.
* Includes chapters on algorithms and data structures on words,probabilistic and analytical models, inclusion-exclusionprinciples, first and second moment methods, subadditive ergodictheorem and large deviations, elements of information theory,generating functions, complex asymptotic methods, Mellin transformand its applications, and analytic poissonization anddepoissonization.
* Written by an established researcher with a strong internationalreputation in the field.
