- a) write the algorithm b) Briefly explain why the algorithm solves the problem, and the correctness c ) State and briefly explain the running time of your algorithmarrow_forwardI have spent hours on internet to find an example of iterative lengthening search algorithm but found nothing. I need it ASAP. Can anyone help me? Please. It is its definition: Iterative lengthening search is an iterative analogue of uniform-cost search. The basic idea is to use increasing limits on path cost. If a node is generated whose path cost exceeds the current limit, it is immediately discarded. For each new iteration, the limit is set to the lowest path cost of any node discarded in the previous iteration. I dont understand many things in this definition. 1-What is the first limit before we start? 2-Do we delete the discarded node from the graph or what? 3-What is the generated node? Is it expanded or is it just found as neigbor? 4-What is "lowest path cost of any node discarded"?? Path from where to where?? From start to that node or what? 5-What does path cost mean in this problem? Is it from source to the new node or between current node and next chosen node?

Two special green entries en and ex denote the entrance and exit of the maze. (1) Abstract the problem as a graph; (2) Design an efficient algorithm (pseudo code) to find a shortest path from en to ex if it exists and then print out the path; (3) Analyze the complexity of the algorithm.arrow_forward
- 3. 4. Given a directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) and two vertices s, te V, design an efficient algorithm that computes the number of different directed paths from s to t. Define the incidence matrix B of a directed graph with no self-loop to be an nxm matrix with rows indexed by vertices, column indexed by edges such that Bij = -1 1 0 if edge j leaves vertex i, if edge jenters vertex i, otherwise. Let BT be the transpose of matrix B. Find out what the entries of the n x n matrix BBT stand for.arrow_forwardSuppose you are given a directed graph G on n vertices, each of which is assigned a colour. (In this problem, both endpoints of an edge can have the same colour.) Give an efficient algorithm to find the length of the longest monochromatic directed walk in G. (In a walk we can revisit vertices and recross edges, whereas in a path we cannot.) Your algorithm should return "undefined" if there is a directed cycle whose vertices are all the same colour.arrow_forwardConsider an n by n matrix, where each of the n2 entries is a positive integer. If the entries in this matrix are unsorted, then determining whether a target number t appears in the matrix can only be done by searching through each of the n2 entries. Thus, any search algorithm has a running time of O(n²). However, suppose you know that this n by n matrix satisfies the following properties: • Integers in each row increase from left to right. • Integers in each column increase from top to bottom. An example of such a matrix is presented below, for n=5. 4 7 11 15 2 5 8 12 19 3 6 9 16 22 10 13 14 17 24 1 18 21 23 | 26 | 30 Here is a bold claim: if the n by n matrix satisfies these two properties, then there exists an O(n) algorithm to determine whether a target number t appears in this matrix. Determine whether this statement is TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is TRUE, describe your algorithm and explain why your algorithm runs in O(n) time. If the statement is FALSE, clearly explain why no…arrow_forward
- There are many applications of Shortest Path Algorithm. Consider the problem of solving a jumbled Rubik's Cube in the fewest number of moves. I claim that this problem can be solved using a Shortest Path Algorithm. Determine whether this statement is TRUE or FALSE. NOTE: if you want to check if this statement is TRUE, think about how the Rubik's Cube Problem can be represented as a graph. What are the vertices? Which pairs of vertices are connected with edges? What is your source vertex and what is your destination vertex? How would Dijkstra's Algorithm enable you to find the optimal sequence of moves to solve a jumbled cube in the fewest number of moves?arrow_forwardGiven an undirected graph G = (V, E), a vertex cover is a subset of V so that every edge in E has at least one endpoint in the vertex cover. The problem of finding a minimum vertex cover is to find a vertex cover of the smallest possible size. Formulate this problem as an integer linear programming problem.arrow_forwardIt is NP-complete to determine whether an arbitrary graph has chromatic number k, where k >= 3. However, determining whether an arbitrary graph has chromatic number 2 is in P. Given a graph G on n vertices, create an algorithm that will return TRUE if χ(G) = 2 and FALSE if χ(G) ≠ 2. Clearly explain how your algorithm works, why it guarantees the correct output, and determine the running time of your algorithm.arrow_forward
- Let G be a graph with V vertices and E edges. One can implement Kruskal's Algorithm to run in O(E log V) time, and Prim's Algorithm to run in O(E + V log V) time. If G is a dense graph with an extremely large number of vertices, determine which algorithm would output the minimum-weight spanning tree more quickly. Clearly justify your answer.arrow_forwardInput: A directed graph G with n vertices. Task: If one can add at most one directed edge to G such that every vertex can reach all other vertices, then print 'Yes'. Otherwise, print 'Unsatisfiable'. Give an efficient algorithm (to the best of your knowledge) and a formal proof of correctness for your algorithm. An answer without any formal proof will be considered incomplete. Analyze the running time of the algorithm. You must write down your algorithm as pseudocodearrow_forwardYou are given a weighted, undirected graph G = (V, E) which is guaranteed to be connected. Design an algorithm which runs in O(V E + V 2 log V ) time and determines which of the edges appear in all minimum spanning trees of G. Do not write the code, give steps and methods. Explain the steps of algorithm, and the logic behind these steps in plain English.Please give total time complexity. test whether a particular edge appears in all MSTsarrow_forward
