  Having a clearer picture of dynamic programming (DP) can take your coding to the next level. It's a technique that makes it possible to adeptly solve difficult problems, which is why it comes up in interviews and is used in applications like machine learning.

  In this course, learn about the uses of DP, how to determine when it’s an appropriate tactic, how it produces efficient and easily understood algorithms, and how it's used in real-world applications. Compare different approaches to…

  Having a clearer picture of dynamic programming (DP) can take your coding to the next level. It's a technique that makes it possible to adeptly solve difficult problems, which is why it comes up in interviews and is used in applications like machine learning.

  In this course, learn about the uses of DP, how to determine when it’s an appropriate tactic, how it produces efficient and easily understood algorithms, and how it's used in real-world applications. Compare different approaches to computing the Fibonacci Sequence and learn how to visualize the problem as a directed acyclic graph. Explore the different variations of DP that you’re likely to encounter by working through a series of increasingly complex challenges. Plus, build a content-aware image resizing application with these new concepts at its core.

• Bending and Torsion Minimization of Toroidal Loops

  EECS Department, University of California, Berkeley June 8, 2012

  We focus on an optimization problem on parameterized surfaces of genus one. In particular we trade off the penalty functions for bending a toroidal path and for applying a twist to it and aim to find local minima of this cost function. This analysis forms a key element in demonstrating the different regular homotopy classes of tori. A generalization of this surface optimization, which considers curvature as well as any shearing of its parameter grid, may be used to find the most optimal direct…

  We focus on an optimization problem on parameterized surfaces of genus one. In particular we trade off the penalty functions for bending a toroidal path and for applying a twist to it and aim to find local minima of this cost function. This analysis forms a key element in demonstrating the different regular homotopy classes of tori. A generalization of this surface optimization, which considers curvature as well as any shearing of its parameter grid, may be used to find the most optimal direct path from an arbitrary closed manifold of genus one into one of the four basic representatives of the four regular homotopy classes of tori.
