Which of the standard algorithm design paradigms are most relevant to my problem?
(a) Is there a set of items that can be sorted by size or some key? Does this sorted order make it easier to find the answer?
(b) Is there a way to split the problem in two smaller problems, perhaps by doing a binary search? How about partitioning the elements into big and small, or left and right? Does this suggest a divide-and-conquer algorithm?
(c) Do the input objects or desired solution have a natural left-to-right order, such as characters in a string, elements of a permutation, or leaves of a tree? Can I use dynamic programming to exploit this order?
(d) Are there certain operations being done repeatedly, such as searching, or finding the largest/smallest element? Can I use a data structure to speed up these queries? What about a dictionary/hash table or a heap/priority queue?
(e) Can I use random sampling to select which object to pick next? What about constructing many random configurations and picking the best one? Can I use some kind of directed randomness like simulated annealing to zoom in on the best solution?
(f) Can I formulate my problem as a linear program? How about an integer program?
(g) Does my problem seem something like satisfiability, the traveling salesman problem, or some other NP-complete problem? Might the problem be NP-complete and thus not have an efficient algorithm? Is it in the problem list in the back of Garey and Johnson [GJ79]?

Prove that the following problem is np-complete
: Prove that the following problem is NP-complete: Problem: Feedback Vertex Set Input: A directed graph G = (V,A) and positive integer k. Output: Is there a subset V ∈ V such that |V | ≤ k, such that deleting the vertices of V from G leaves a DAG?
