We mentioned that if we want to prove P = NP, we only need to pick up any one NPC problem and design a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem. If you want to prove P = NP, select one NPC problem based on your preference and describe your idea of a polynomial-time algorithm that solves the problem. It does not have to be a formal algorithm or pseudo-code, a description of your idea of designing such an algorithm would be fine.
Consider the case where a data point has more than one nearest center. Most implementations assign such a point to the nearest center with the smallest index. If, instead, you assign such a point to a nearest center selected uniformly at random, does the algorithm still converge? If not, why not

- Computer Science Implement a function in python that takes in parameters X (a set of data points) and k (number of neighbors to use / smoothing amount) to execute kernel density estimation using k-nn regression, and plot the resultant estimation and real densities. You may use any libraries you want (eg. numpy, matplotlib, sklearn, etc)arrow_forwardHow would you extend the Rabin-Karp method to the problem of searching a text string for an occurrence of any one of a given set of k patterns? Start by assuming that all k patterns have the same length. Then generalize your solution to allow the patterns to have different lengths?arrow_forwardImplement a quicksort based on using a sample of size 2k 1. First, sort the sample, then arrange to have the recursiveroutine partition on the median of the sample and to move the two halves of the rest ofthe sample to each subarray, such that they can be used in the subarrays, without havingto be sorted again. This algorithm is called samplesort.arrow_forward
- Give a loop invariant that accurately relates the present values of, r, s, x, and y.Look at the GCD loop property for a hint. This invariant is also true when the calculation is between the first and second step of each iteration, in addition to being true each time the computation is at the top of the loop. Prove that your method creates and keeps the loop invariant as claimed.arrow_forwardDevelop and implement an ADT for preprocessing a string to support efficiently answering queries of the form How many times does a given k-gram appear ? Each query should take time proportional to k log N in the worst case, where N is the length of the string.arrow_forwardWe can end unsuccessful searches more quickly if we can presume that the keys in the list have been organised in some sort of order (for example, numerical or alphabetical order). If the smallest keys are located first, we may stop looking as soon as a key larger than or equal to the target key is discovered. What is the typical number of comparisons for failed search in this version if we assume that it is equally probable that a target key not in the list is in any one of the n + 1 intervals (before the first key, between a pair of subsequent keys, or after the last key)?arrow_forward
- Implement the insertionSort function and modify the quicksortHelper() function so that it calls insertion sort to sort any sublist whose size is less than 50 items. Compare the performance of this version with that of the original one, using data sets of 50, 500, and 5000 items. Afterwards, adjust the threshold for using the insertion sort to determine an optimal setting based on your findings from the step above. To test your program run the main() method in the testquicksort.py file.arrow_forwardWrite a program in MATLAB that receives an n * (n + 1) matrix and calculates and prints the output of the system of this matrix by using the LU decomposition method. Hint:(without using lu command)arrow_forwardA graph is a collection of vertices and edges G(V, E). A weighted graph has weights (numbers, etc.) on every edge. A multigraph can have more than one edges between any vertices. Explain why a person should use a weighted graph instead of a multigraph. Give examples. An adjacency matrix might be a better choice for speeding up a program, however, it consumes huge memory for large graphs. How this situation can be improved? What programming constructs better suit graph representation? Explain with examplearrow_forward
- Consider the algorithm that puts minimal effort into splitting the list into one of size n − 1 and one of size one, but puts lots of effort into recombining the sublists.

What are these two algorithms? explainarrow_forwardUsing an array (python), you have to get the first and last object and place them at the end of the list. For example, QWERTY will be WERTQY. What is the worst case time complexity?

Problem Explanation:The naive solution for this problem is to check every possible 7-Item-SubArray-Pair-Pattern in the given2D-Array. Actually there are many pattern of 7-Item-SubArray-Pair in the given 2D-Array.Maximum sum of 7-Item-Pair should be from 3x3 Sub-Array of the given 2D-Array.
