Lecture 18: Amortized Analysis (Aggregate Method), Ordered Dictionary ADT [Advanced Data Structures

In this lecture we consider amortized analysis. We do a few examples of using the aggregate method. In particular, using amortized analysis, we address both theoretically and practically the question of which standard way of resizing an array is efficient. That is, I address which of geometric growth of an array when full or growing it by a constant amount is more efficient? We conclude the lecture by introducing the Ordered Dictionary ADT (for our next major topic).
